jammer2 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Geez, slept right through Canada game...start back to work tonight...uggggh. So the Fins it is, assuming Sweden does what they usually do in non medal rds. What is it...53 regulation games in a row...but only 1 gold medal to show for it...er, um..biggest chokers of all time?

jammer2 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 At least work is one and done. Off till Monday night after tonight! Gold medal game is on a collision course with Eagles playoff game! Why does this tourney choose to go head to head with the NFL? I love this tourney.. but no way did I use every single vacation day for Eagles games to not watch this playoff game. I love the Eagles more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they had defensive depth but not 4 lines like usual. Think every d man was returning except York, which explains the lack of playing time. I would expect him to be pp qb #1 next year.

I don't think their team is supposed to be as strong next year. But then they talked about what a powerhouse it would be this year and it wasn't. (no offence...there IS no powerhouse this year...other than Lafreniere) So what do "they" know?

Alexandron Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 More good news. Our one single Wild prospect Alexander Khovanov, who was selected to participate at the World Juniors 2020, had a game winning goal in today (01/02/20) quarterfinals against a Switzerland team . Final score was 3:1. Khovanov had a primary assist to a 3rd goal in that game too. Even Russian news mentioned him as soon as game was ended. His team moved to semifinals and is going to play against Sweden team on January 4th. Secondary assist to a 3rd goal of a quarterfinal game had a very promising prospect defenseman, signed by the Philadelphia Flyers team , Yegor Zamula.

Was not really commenting on the play of USA..just noticed some of the regular posters that discuss the tourney have been missing from the start. I liked USA chances with that veteran defense..just did not work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 In 2010 World Juniors Team Russia's best players included among others Tarasenko and Kuznetsov. If Khovanov is able to be 1C in Team Russia, there's hope for him to be able to be a legit 1C for the Wild one day 4-5 years from now. Of course everyone doesn't develop as hoped, but let's keep our fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Annnnnnd Sweden, 52-0 in the round robin, loses yet again when it matters. 5-4 Russia in OT.

Antti_Laxative Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) It's almost unbelievable to fathom, but the "overrated" Canadians completely blew out the very team that dispatched the Americans...and somehow, find themselves in the Gold Medal game .....again. It must be a Christmas Miracle?!?! Or, has the earth left its' axis??? @Hockey-78 Edited January 5, 2020 by Antti_Laxative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 So is Hayton in or out? Bet he plays. And are the Russians juiced? Well, of course they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Congrats to Sweden for the bronze 3-2 over the Finns. What was there ...13 penalties? I hope the refereeing is more like Can/Fin than this. Edited January 5, 2020 by flyercanuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
