OccamsRazor Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Man after watching some of these kids play like Elias Pettersson should would of been good to see how Patrick would have measured up against similar aged talent. Canucks have some good young forwards going forward with Brock Boeser and Pettersson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the way that Soderlund kid skates and presses on the PK. The Swedes had the most deadly pk I have ever seen. These two teams were so close in skating and talent. That one off the post was a reminder of how close things were, that goes in, momentum shifts and anything can happen. Hart had a real solid game/tourny....very proud of this whole team. Feels like a piano has been lifted off my shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only shame was giving up two shorties on the same PP, lol. Completely an OMG moment. I'm not sure why the decision was for Woll to start in net for that game as Oettinger would have been my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the same thing to Canada today, not 2, but made the one shorty look easy. Maybe the best pk squad ever in this tourny. Agreed, Ottinger over Wall all day long. Plus, they should have kept a shorter lease on Woll....no matter if the goal are his fault or not, after the 3 goal, you just gotta make that change and hope it turns your fortunes.

flyercanuck Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 What a great game. Fast paced, end to end back and forth. Two evenly matched teams just went at it all game with both goalies keeping their team in it. Was hoping for a rematch against the US but Sweden was a worthy opponent.Nice to see the only goalless Canadian forward score the game winner just for OR Hart finished the tourney with a 1.64 GAA and a .935 save percentage (I'm not counting the shootout goal against his stats because it has nothing to do with an actual game) He let in 5 even strength goals in 6 games. He was player of the game for his team against their two best rivals in this tournament. And tied the record for wins by a Canadian goalie with 8. Dahlin won defenceman of the tournament and looks like he's going to be an excellent puck carrying gamebreaker. But for my money in that tournament I wouldn't trade Connor Timmons for any blueliner...the guy was outstanding at every aspect of the game. Between him and Makar the Avalanche have a double glimmer of hope on their D. Somewhere down the road a Swedish teenager is going to wish he didn't throw a hissy fit and toss away a medal he worked hard for. I get that he's a teenager....but he was also captain, and that was in poor taste. I'd like to think the guy who caught it will get it back to him. Another great WJHC has come and gone. A reminder of how awesome the game can be played. I wish NHLers brought half this emotion to the rink....they certainly get paid enough to. Attendance was pathetic. I don't get it.
