U18 Discussion Thread

[Kevin Musto]

Figured I'd make a dedicated thread for us to discuss the U18 tournament.

Not sure how many of y'all are watching, but regardless I don't want to spam the draft discussion threads with U18 stuff.

I'm watching.

Boldy is a strong kid. Nothing special yet in USA - Sweden game.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I'm watching Canada vs Finland so for anyone watching USA vs Sweden, I'd appreciate updates

 

[Kevin Musto]

Still 0-0 in US-Sweden. Turcotte just robbed from in close.

Watched Russia-Slovakia earlier. Podkolzin was pretty quiet and didn't have any points, but there were a few shifts where his ability to protect the puck and win board battles was evident. He was also physical and had a couple hits.

Pelletier is Canada's best player so far. No surprise. But he's being dragged down by Cozens who is a turnover machine.

Holloway is really strong physically and had a nice hit.

Never mind. Got my sister in laws cable log in info so am watching on tsn now. All good!!

Finland up 2-0 with a PP goal

 

[Kevin Musto]

Canada's defense is quite bad. Not having Byram is brutal.

Lundell has been Finland's most noticeable player.

I like Beniers for US only 16 but he doesn’t look out of place, had a real nice setup to Turcotte

 

[BK]

USA-Sweden game has been sloppy.

 

[ChicagoHockeyFan]

Sweden up 1-0, bad turnover by Jack Hughes

 

[ChicagoHockeyFan]

I feel like Knight could have saved that

 

[Kevin Musto]

Pelletier is unreal. Makes his opponents look like a joke.

 

[AmericanDream]

USA taking some time to adjust out there, they will get stronger as the game goes on.

 

[Kevin Musto]

They're reviewing the play

 

[Kevin Musto]

No goal. Bullshit call. Puck crossed the line. Pelletier should've had an assist for making that whole play happen.

 

[BK]

That was a bad dive by 14 on Canada to draw that.

Pelletier does look good but I wonder how he will adjust with a lot less space.

 

[AmericanDream]

Dach being injured is a bummer for Canada - would like to have seen him there in this tourney..

bad turnover by Jack Hughes

Cue up the fiddy post.

Pelletier is Canada's best player so far. No surprise. But he's being dragged down by Cozens who is a turnover machine.

Holloway is really strong physically and had a nice hit.

Is Cozens going to be able to keep up with the NHL speed? He looks terrible. And I mean thinking fast, not foot speed.

Its definitely a concern I have with him. He's not a top 10 talent in this draft imo.
