Prospect Info: World Juniors 2019

[Smitty93]

I was expecting more from Beecher and less from Hall. They were pretty equal in my view. Beecher will look better in the NHL. I think anyways as his game will translate better, he will have more upside. Hall could be a good Kuraly type checker.

In a short tourny there is not much time to shuffle guys around and find chemistry. Beecher had none with his line mates, who did not look to want to pay the price and were a little selfish in my view.

At least Beecher has size over those 2 guys, who will have a hard time with playing teams like the Caps and Blues in a 7 game series.

Beecher definitely struggled offensively, but he was as good as I expected on defense, particularly on the PK. I know he has experience on the wing, but his primary position has been center. It's not easy making that change to wing in a short tournament like this. One of the realities with this year's US World Junior team is that they had a lot of centers who had to play out of position.

Wild start to the first semi.

No idea how the refs ignored a five second hold from the Russians in their own zone and now a blatant high stick on the faceoff, but immediately called a nothing love tap in the neutral zone, but that’s (IIHF) reffing for you. Russian PP is lethal.

 

[Fenway]

Sweden dodged a bullet so

 

[Fossy21]

Huge gaffe by Alnefelt for 3-1.

Finally a Russian penalty. Sweden need the momentum.

 

[Fossy21]

f*** off refs. f***ing two feet from his hand

 

[smack66]

fun game to watch.

 

[22Brad Park]

I watched that Sokolov live and how that kid is not drafted is beyond me.Size ,skill and bit of nasty.Wicked shot to.

 

[Fenway]

What are they looking at?????

You can hear fear in Canadian announcers voices about facing Russia when they mention powerplays.Jesus they should want them to get another shot at redemption vs them.

 

[Fossy21]

What are they looking at?????

Should’ve taken about four seconds. Great save, though, maybe they were admiring it. Gave the Swedes some well-needed rest after Necén just threw the puck away long after the PK ended.

Apparently they didn’t have any video to look at until about twenty seconds in, but it still took them a good minute and a half to review it.

 

[22Brad Park]

What are they looking at?????

Make sure never crossed line when saved with blocker or stick I guess.

They should be fine as long as there isn’t a Finnish ref just guessing at penalties and missing blatant ones from Russia, lmao.

 

[Fenway]

Does anybody know the name of that music they using there?

Also, whichever team they get, the PP will be dangerous. 3/4 for Sweden. Russia 2 goals in 15 minutes of PP.

 

[Fossy21]

Swedish goal song or the penalty music?

Goal song is:



Most Swedes probably have a love/hate relationship to it. Mostly the latter

 

[Fenway]

The Bruins DJ just told me the penalty song is



He is tempted to use it

 

[Fossy21]

No replay on that boarding situation behind the Russian net. Looked like he extended the arms about as much as you possibly could, barely any body involved at all.

Impressive snipe ten seconds later, though.

 

[22Brad Park]

Sweeney should be on phone right now with Sokolov's agent.

 

[Bruinaura]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Fenway]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The fact that TJ knows it scares me

 

[Bruinaura]

The fact that TJ knows it scares me

Now it's going to be in my head every time a penalty is called anyway

 

[Fossy21]

So predictable the refs swallowed their whistles. f***ing WWE move in front of the Russian net.

Hard to win when you play half the game on the PK and the refs ignore almost everything the other way. Good attempt, though.

 

[22Brad Park]

What a beautiful winning goal.Change of pace caught d man.Smart smart play.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Canada Russia final would be great

 

[Fossy21]

Can’t wait for whoever plays Russia in the gold medal game to get PP after PP. The inconsistency is maddening. Hooking someone in the neck area and throwing them to the ground is rewarded.
