2020-21 World Juniors in Edmonton

[Wilbur]

Okay....Russia wins.....

1. Russia 8 points:  Wins group with an OT game that is won by the USA.

2. Sweden 7 points: Wins group with Ot or regulation win.

3. USA 6 points:  Must win in regulation to win the group.  

Winner of Austria-Czechs is 4th.

Pretty much a must win tonight for USA....path gets a lot harder to medal if we face Canada or Finland in the quarters.

That win in OT last night was huge for Russia.  They avoid Canada or Finland for sure.  They hold the tiebreaker over the U.S. and Finland so they can rest easy knowing they'll likely get a Germany squad in the quarters.

No excuses tonight for the USA.  Sweden emptied the tank last night against the Russians and seem a bit dinged up on the backend as well.  I think our skill guys should have a big day.  Just find a way to win the game.  

I'd personally love to see a Sweden vs. Finland Quarter.  

[yzerman19]

Yeah- make the Scandinavians play!

I believe all the games today can be found here.

You are correct sir. 

 

[Wilbur]

Austria guy cross checks the guy three times into his goalie then wonders why they don't disallow the goal.....I mean he was legit the reason the goal stood and his goalie was out of the play.

2-0 Czechs

Well done Wilbur. Many scenarios out there 

[sioux rube]

Canada already on the board 1-0

[sioux rube]

Canada is absolutely flying out there. I’ll be shocked if they don’t win this thing. Going to take a goalie to stand on his head and then some 

[sioux rube]

Canada outshot the Finns 17-1 and that one was an innocent shot towards the net 

[rochsioux]

Shots now 19-1 Canada.  Score is 1-0. 
 

It always makes me nervous when my team is dominating but can’t pull away on the scoreboard.  That shot discrepancy is not likely to continue and I would expect Finland to make a push at some point.

They have 6 now and hit a pipe but it’s also 2-0

[sioux rube]

Finland has no answer. 3-0

[sioux rube]

35-7 shots after 2 

[sioux rube]

Canada and the Czechs.  That's a sigh of relief for Sweden and the States.
