GDT: World Juniors 2022

[Mr. Canucklehead]

It’s that time of year again, with the World Juniors starting tomorrow. All eyes will be on Connor Bedard, but there’s three Canucks’ prospects playing, too;



Hopefully Jonathan Lekkerimaki can start to put an awful start to the season behind him. Re-Petey is also playing for Sweden, and Ali Koskenvuo was a late add for Finland - tough numbers with Harvard in the NCAA, but sparkling results for Finland internationally.

JLek better have a standout tournament. Hopefully he shows why he was so highly ranked.

Pretty sweet that the canucks would lend pettersson back to have another go after his less than stellar performance previously at the tournament.

Doubt it, Sweden coach literally benched him in a pre tournament game. If he gets a fair shot, he’ll put up points

Our Harvard Finnish goalie got the start in today's game against the Swiss.

 

[Paulinbc]

this Kemmel kid is looking really good. I sure hope we didn’t pull another boner.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Our Harvard Finnish goalie got the start in today's game against the Swiss.

How did he look? Didn’t see the game, but see they lost 3-2 in OT and got outshot almost 2-1.

Alright, Lets see a better tourney for lekk!
Also petey2, hopefully he moves up

 

[Canucks LB]

Good first shift for lekk

 

[Canucks LB]

OK, this tournament is pretty pointless for our main prospect, he’s getting basically no time, and he’s not even on either of the power-play units, just a waste of time, trying to evaluate him unless things change

Update : I was wrong, he’s playing on the power play after all, I just wanna see him get more minutes

hes on the PP with Ostlund Lysell Ohgren in the bumper

Sadly he's been moved off that line 5v5 and is on the 4th line and is trending negatively

By the coach of standards, honestly even with that little time in the first period, he already looked better than anything he did last tournament.

He’s skating much better

Petey with a Primary assist.

 

[Canucks LB]

DPetey looking really solid
Just got his first point!

 

[nucksflailtogether]

So frustrating.

 

[Canucks LB]

Our guy!!!
Goal!!!

 

[Cheeks Clapinski]

Nice shot

 

[dez]

Nice shot JL

 

[Canucks LB]

What a shot!

Like I said earlier, he looks better already this tournament than the entire last tournament combined, he just needs opportunities

 

[Gstank]

That release is going to score him a lot of goals

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I still believe Lekkermaki is related to David Booth somehow

 

[Canucks LB]

Move him up, move him up!!!!

 

[iceburg]

That was a serious shot. Would have beat most goalies at any level

 

[Canucks LB]

Dpetey can really skate man
