GDT: Official-2013 World Juniors Thread - STARTS TODAY!

[Groucho]

How did you miss the kid Armia from FIN side.. That guy played like a beast with sick dangles..
Hartikainen+Hemsky Hybrid.

Yeah I was really impressed. He dangled Rielly really badly in the third period and laid off a nice pass to a wide open _____ in the slot forcing Subban to make a really good save.

Since we're discussing all the JR's in here, how about that Alex Galchenyuk. He looked like Malkin out there at times.

Boone Jenner ejected from the game after destroying Sweden defender Pettersson with a late hit. Based on the replay I saw Jenner may be facing further discipline.

1-1 end of the second.

 

[Dorian2]

Just turned on the game. How have we looked so far?

 

[harpoon]

Not great. There have been a few moments, but too much special teams again imo.

 

[Jepprey]

Nuge is so sneaky

 

[harpoon]

Canada takes it 2-1 in the shootout.
RNH with one of the shootout goals.
Solid game from Binnington.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Good opportunity to send Boone Jenner home and replace him with a player that can exercise some discipline.

Make Binnington the starter please.

Definitely, but if he isn't suspended he can be used to injure one more player

 

[OilerTyler]

Is there a place to find boxscores for these pretournament games?

 

[SK13]

Wrong thread.

 

[Dorian2]

Who's # 17? I watched a few shifts where he was slamming quite a few Swedish meatballs heavily into the boards. Looked pretty determined...at least near the end of the game.

JC Lipon.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

I seen a lot of posters really give it to RNH. Has he been that bad?

Most of those seem to be from Halifax busy lusting after MacKinnon and Drouin.

 

[40oz]

If there's going to be this many penalties called, Spott needs to get RNH on the PK.

 

[K1984]

He hasn't been bad at all.

 

[402]

So who gets the starting job in net?

 

[Dorian2]

JC Lipon.

Thanks dnicks. I don't know why, but I have a feeling he might make a good role player in the NHL.

 

[Hynh]

So who gets the starting job in net?

Should be Binnington. He's hot right now and weathered the penalty storm well.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Mackinnon will probably be on the first line before the end of the tournament. Canada has zero scoring punch.

 

[RipsADrive]

Nuge looked better on the draws today at least. Not sure if there's stats on it but I think he won at least half.

No need to do it until they've played in the actual tournament but I agree that the top line might need a shake up. Putting Mackinnon up there to fly in on the forcheck and wreak havoc could open up some seams for RNH to exploit. I haven't really liked Scheifele that much besides the pretty play against Finland but I don't want to make too many judgements until a real game is played.

Today's game for Canada.

There's a gem; check MacKinnon's ice time.

I don't know how Spott can justify only 6 minutes considering he only had 10 forwards. MacKinnon made some really strong plays physically, defensively and offensively; he didn't do anything to warrant sitting so much. Yes, the entire 2nd period was almost entirely spent on the PK but he should have played a lot more in the 3rd.

 

[Cloned]

Spott is a horrible choice for coaching this team. He's going to make us wish we had Stan Butler back.

 

[Cam98]

Spott is a joke.
