  • Re: 2015 World Junior Championships

    A good game generally. Biggest concerns for me are Demko and the PP which I think was anemic. Too much standing and watching Eichel do his thing. Need much more puck movement and creativity to make things happen.

      I was blown away by his skill when his Ann Arbor team played the Gophers. And the kid is only 17. I look for him to really pick up his game against Germany.

        Considering he wasn't the guy last year, I can understand thinking Demko is a question mark. But pretty good job by him, nice confidence boost. Was expecting us to put in a couple more goals, but regardless, I'll take a win over Finland any way you can get it.

          Finland has some of the best goaltending in the tournament. I was expecting a 2-1 or 3-2 game. We generally always are tight/low scoring games with the Fins.

          A win is certainly a huge plus. 2nd toughest team on paper we play.

              Slovakia had Canada looking like clowns on that one possession about 6-7 minutes in... The Canadian goalie was way the hell out of position, but the Slovaks couldn't close the deal

                one thing you will see from Demko is a play like at the end of regulation/OT...can't remember which period it was. But, Butcher had to block a shot as the net was wide open. It's been reported that Demko will require surgery on both hips at the end of this season. The good news for him is I read this should be a one time, corrective surgery where his hips shouldn't be a problem for him going forward. Time will tell on that I guess. But, his movement isn't nearly as good right now as it should be after this surgery. That's the biggest weakness in his game.

                  Also, USA was pretty pumped after that win yesterday considering it was an opening game. Good to see though.

                    It was also a win over the defending champions.....I'd be pretty pumped too.

                      I was blown away with Matthews skills more than Eichel when I saw him against PC....Matthews is just more raw right now. Might be the fact that I was Eichel'd out!

                          Great shift by top line to start game. Tuch great scoring chance and a Dman rang one off the post.

                                Pretty power move by Matthews to put US up 1-0 skating out from behind net and shoving it in.
