On second thought... I'm amazed we didn't get scored on that powerplay... that was awful!! The Finns destroyed us on our own powerplay... also, they look much better than us right now... 5 Czechs collapsed and falling over

These defensive breakdowns are far too frequent even for this level. These players deserve to get yelled at.

How can that be? The best defense in the tournament I think I’ve read on here.
And Heinola was supposed to cement a top 10 pick with this tournament.

Que the ”it’s all the coaches fault” comments.
Sometimes good individuals do not make good team.

Finland generates unbelievably few chances. Great possession but no high % chances ever, usually it's some low % shot that hits a defenseman's shinpads or just a harmless shot from afar. Somehow, the opposing teams get much higher % chances.

Ewww, this hockey by the Czechs is ****ing discusting. Boring ass trap game

We're the underdog with less talent against a stronger opponent... of course there's some trapping. It's the Finn's job to break open the game with their higher talent and not ours.

Also, did you see our goals cause they've all been gorgeous.

game over... hohhoi..need to beat swiss in regulation I quess then
10 minutes left... not even close to over... when Finns have turned it up, Czechs can't keep up. Also, U18 is prone to massive swings in momentum.

Instead of trying to break us in half, Finland should try to score ... boy would a powerplay goal be nice...

Yea they have been. Just weird to watch a U18 with such heavy trapping and just throwing the puck out

Shouldn't really be goalie interference, Saarela was skating past him and then he moved right in Saarela's way.

Quite literally the worst performance I've seen from our U18 team. This team deserves to be fighting for relegation.

Third posts for Finn's... Parik has been very good but those posts have been beautiful for us. Lots of lucky breaks for our side... I think Finns might have a penalty as well with 2:27 left.
