The 2024 U20 World Junior Championship - Dec 26 – Fri, Jan 5 - Göteborg, Sweden

[Abraham de Lacy]

I am Swedish and I think we were the better team, but the refs were (hey, have you heard this before?) not very good. If only we could invent a game without refs ... hmm.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Sweden was the better team and deserved to win, but the refs certainly didn't do the Swiss any favors down the stretch.

 

[HaNotsri]

3 vs 3 needs to go.
5 vs 5 10 minutes should be the way forward, in the final continuous ot with automatic review of the goal.

 

[Chainshot]

Norway tied it up going into the third - only a single elimination game this year so they just need to win the period and they knock the Germans out in the relegation.

 

[Chainshot]

Stensrud with a Sabres-esque sequence leading to the German 3rd goal. And then the Norwegians with a Sabres-esque defensive effort leading to the Germans' 4th goal.

 

[Chainshot]

Ostlund's line just grinding like mad on that last shift.

 

[Jim Bob]

 

[Chainshot]

Ostlund's man scores on him, 1-0 Czechia.

 

[truthbluth]

Bad coverage by Ostlund there but the goalie has to stop that puck. That was WEAK.

 

[old kummelweck]

Both goalies look shaky.

 

[truthbluth]

Ostlund's +/- evens out as he eteps on the ice moments before ASP's shot

 

[truthbluth]

That rush by Becher was impressive. Seems like someone that can skate like that deserves to be drafted.

 

[Zip15]

Maybe I missed it, but has Kulich scored a goal against the other top teams (US, CAN, FIN, SWE)? I’m a big Kulich fan but I’m a little surprised by the lack of production against those top teams.

The good teams have been giving him a lot of attention, which has opened thing sup for linemates. He's been effective.

 

[old kummelweck]

Ostlund buries a break-away. nice.

 

[Chainshot]

Ostlund with what could be the dagger. Great goal.

 

[Chainshot]

Ostlund stabbing again.

 

[old kummelweck]

Czechia melting down.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Maybe we can watch Ostlund setting up Kulich not too long from now.

 

[Chainshot]

Maybe some people stop trying to put Ostlund in every trade proposal now.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Great celly, too.

 

[Dingo44]

Hope this doesn't trigger anyone

Sabres Twitter has officially switched to trading Kulich btw. It's going to be someone eventually, but my money is not on those two.

An Ostlund home WJC breakout on the back of an already strong season was always one of this season's best potential prospect outcomes. Cool to see.

Now let's have USA take care of business and set up the ideal gold game.

Some of them are. Some of them aren't. *shrug*

 

[Chainshot]

Looking for something to take notes during the interview and found an old legal pad with some hockey notes on it. It's old - Schiestal being mentioned and Dale DeGray.

There is also a U20 game note with "Tarasenko is Max w/o the curls and w/ a shot"
