World Junior Championships

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Yea definitely Lafreniere and Stutzle. I've liked Holtz quite a bit too.

It's going to be interesting to see where the players go after Byfield. A lot of it is going to be team preference.
Raymond, Holtz, Lundell, Stutzle, Drysdale, and even Askarov could go in any order from 3-8. I just hope the Hawks aren't left with Askarov as the BPA on their board. I'm against taking a goalie that high.

Good lord Zegras. Wow!

 

[BobbyJet]

For the record, Byram had a good game today.

Teply picks up his second assist.

 

[BobbyJet]

These Junior games are exciting as hell to watch.

this US team better take the Gold..when you are winning games without Turcotte, Brink, Caufield and Zegras scoring many goals, this could become a tidal wave that hits teams come the medal round. they are the deepest team in the tourney period..even without Jack Hughes and Farabee..

Teply has looked solid. He just needs to focus on his skating a lot more. His skating is better now than last year based on these games but in small NA rink he can’t skate that freedomly east-west style. His skating is kind of ”angular” (dont know if it’s the right word but yeah.

Canada will be surpassed by the US within the next decade, and it makes me super, super happy. So tired of the Canadian arrogance when it comes to hockey.

Zegras has been very flashy.

Future Blackhawk Alexander Holtz just scored for Sweden.

Pretty dam ironic to hear an American talk about another countries arrogance when it comes to sports. Pot meet kettle.

Really? Living in the country that has 'Hockey Center of the Universe' in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. OK.

 

[BobbyJet]

Gotta feel bad for Czechs. Nothing is going right for them since they beat Russia in the opener.

Come on now American brothers .. ya gotta give us at least hockey. You guys have baseball, basketball, football, and well pretty much dominate the olympics .. and you can't give your little neighbour the bragging rights to the sport they started!

 

[Putt Pirate]

We’ll swap basketball for hockey......

You're on an American board basically. What do you expect? Didn't they say that 10yrs ago? Still waiting.

I believe US has more world junior medals the last 10 years than Canada. Not as many golds but overall we have more. So you can quit waiting.

Only medal that matters is Gold, and even if you have more medals, they haven't over taken them in any way. It's close to even, if I am being nice.

All in fun.

As far as medals are concerned, U18 is a thing too.
