TurdBurglar Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 19 minutes ago, tomh009 said: Indeed it was. 3-2 OT final for Switzerland. The Swiss have a solid if no-name team, much in the mould of the Finnish teams, and they just suffocated the Finnish offence. The fins looked defeated going into the OT. Weak board play and poor coverage lead to the goal. Both things not typically associated with Finnish teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Perhaps a little adversity and humble pie is good for Team Canada at the beginning of the tourney. It's not how you start it's how you finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not how you start it's how you finish. No doubt. I saw Wrights goal but missed the rest of the 1st. That 5 min major was unfortunate, he shouldnt have put his hands up. It was frustrating to see them kill 4 mins of it and limit Czechia to 2 shots to see the last minute end with 2 goals in 30 secs. I thought numerous of the penalties were fairly weak but Canada certainly needs to be better disciplined if they want to win a medal.

Neech Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Bedard was certainly noticeable out there with 11 shots. Canada was unlucky and sloppy but they should be able to bounce back if they get some decent goaltending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goaltending just wasn't good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Wow, Canadas PP seems to be effective with 7 ppg against German in the 1st 2 periods. Beddard has a hattrick already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone see that game? I wonder what happened, because the 6-3 score for Slovakia over US is certainly surprising. I was hoping that Mesar got a hattrick, but no such luck.

Sir_Boagalott Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 With 5:03 left and down by 2 Rohrer got boarded, but it wasn't a major penalty. Too bad, that would have made it interesting. Rohrer stayed in the game. Gord Miller said: in the last 10 mins of the game Austria had more scoring chances than in the whole tourney. MJ retorted: yes, but they have the same amount of goals. Austria pulled their goalie and Germany got the puck out of their zone and went on a 2 on 0 and surprisingly a chasing Austrian player made a great play and actually managed to catch up and knock the puck off the guys stick preventing a goal. That got a deserving standing ovation from the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Must be a couple Owners/GMs that are drooling over the prospect of adding this kid. https://theathletic.com/4042318/2022/12/29/connor-bedard-canada-world-juniors/ "By the time the tournament’s over, we’re going to be talking about him chasing down another record: Jaromir Jagr’s single-tournament scoring mark by an under-18 player of 18 points in seven games. If he does it, he’ll pass Wayne Gretzky and Eric Lindros’ 17 apiece along the way. He’s already clear of Connor McDavid’s 11 in seven in his draft year, Mario Lemieux’s 10 in seven in his, and Sidney Crosby’s nine in six in his. He might even break Lindros’ all-time Canadian points record of 31 (it’s now four to tie it and five to break it, with as many as four games still left to play)."
