GDT: WJC (Rutger, Salomonsson, Wagner in action today)

[bustamente]

Looks like the Swedes have had enough, should of played better

Rutger was a monster

Salomonssen played like Boy you

Wagner ate popcorn? Didn’t see him

 

[Atoyot]

Surprised McGroarty decided to be such a shit disturber at the end. Didn't think he would get into that.

He does play for USA after all

I like this. We could use someone with a bit of sand. Going to enjoy when he makes the team.

The USA just won the Gold Medal, and there is literally no media covering this in America.

[JetsFan815]

To be honest I am not a fan of taunting the crowd like the Americans were doing towards the end of the game. You won the game and the tournament, there is nothing left to prove by taunting the crowd.

 

[Jetabre]

Rutger is a beauty.

 

[tbcwpg]

I like the American team and I'm a big fan of the NTDP. Glad to see it paid off so well this year.

 

[snowkiddin]

Sweden choking in the medal round again? Zoinks.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

At least it wasn't against Canada.

Made it easy for me to cheer for the US this year.

Me either, but it's more excusable at 19

Yeah, people are going to start thinking Americans are jerks!

Fun fact(s): Previous US Junior Team Captains to play for Winnipeg Jets

1991-92: Keith Tkachuk
2003-04: Mark Stuart
2007-08: Brian Strait

(not sure I like how that's trending... )

Edit: Copp and Trouba were Alternates in 2013-14 and 2012-13 respectively.

 

[bustamente]

Wasn't cheering for the US or Sweden for that matter, just wanted to McG and Salo have a good tourney and I think both did and will be valuable members of this team in the future.

 

[jetsforever]

Clearly won because of Rutger's leadership

Had totally blocked out Brian strait

Americans were taunting the crowd after Johansson went after the smallest guy on the ice with the score out of reach. I loved it personally, was fun to watch.

Also who cares, these are 19 year olds after playing 60 minutes of the most competitive hockey of their lives and getting booed incessantly. I love McGroarty's charisma and competitive edge. Reminds me of a young Patrick Kane.

They were taunting the crowd long before that. It started with the 5-2 goal.

Fair but I'm sure the Swedish fans were being super polite and wishing all the players a Happy New Year. European fans are wild, who knows what the players were hearing all game.

I want players with that edge and pride, personally. Don't we want more personality in the game?

 

[Gil Fisher]

who knows what the players were hearing all game.

Swedish probably.
