[GT] 2018 WJC Day 1: CZE vs RUS, BEL vs SWE, CAN vs FIN, and DEN vs USA. TSN

[Beninho]

2-1 Sweden with a goal by Vegas first round pick Brannstrom. Don't like Swedens game at all tho, Canada will have a field day with their soft play

Edit 3-1

I'm sure they were taken a bit by surprise but they do have some problems in their own end when Belarus can get the puck down low.

Could be, will be interesting to see if they live up to expectations.

L.Lindstrom is first unit PK.

#22 #Axel Jonsson Fjällby#(LW) (WSH 2016 5th 147th OA)

This guy goes by Jonsson

I always thought Robert Reichel was the best player on a breakaway that i've seen in my lifetime.

many people overlook the fact it was he who scored the shootout goal vs Canada in 98.

No Tuulola on Finland per the line-ups.

Not on the roster either - http://2018.worldjunior.hockey/en/teams/#FIN

Is one of their goalies hurt... why do they have 3?

Finland only registered 18 skaters. They are waiting for an injury or waiting to see how lines play out before they officially fill in their last 2 spots.

And every team except Canada has registered 3 goalies.

Yep - according to this article it is between Eemeli Räsänen and Tuulolo for the last spot. Rasanen is a defenseman so if Salo looks healthy you'd think they'd take Tuulolo instead of 8 d and 11 forwards.

If they don't take Tuulola, it would be 12 forwards and 8 d-men. Unusual for this tournament but not unheard of.

Pretty awesome both Finland and Canada's captains are Flames prospects.

How did projected 1st OA pick, Rasmus Dahlin look?

Looked good but hard to judge vs such inferior opposition. I'm more interested in seeing how he defends vs the elite teams. His offensive game is 100% legit but I can't say I know much about how he defends besides that he can throw some monster hits.

[Nammer403]

Great speed

[getbak]

I don't think that's a good goal. Hell of a drive to the net, though.

[nixon45]

No goal

[Nammer403]

That’s so close

[MRCboicgy]

Yeah, that shouldn't be a goal

[Ashasx]

there's no way that should be a goal.

[Skaloper]

Wow they called it a goal!
