2017 WJHC MEGA THREAD!!!!!!

Welp, that lead didn't last long. 2-2 as Juulsen does his best Kris Russell imitation (only he didn't block the shot).

Wow, what a move by Chabot and shot to give Canada the lead again. 3-2

These refs need to take the whistle out of their pockets, the Czechs are getting away with a ton of holding and interference.

Chabot better enjoy the cheers in his home province while he can. He likely won't hear too many more of them once this tournament is over.

The organist knows the Habs aren't playing tonight, right?

/I keep hearing "Go Habs Go" being played

Gauthier!! 4-2 Canada

 

[dash]

Czechs are like a bad rash tonight, they just won't go away. 4-3

 

[dash]

Another fine play by Chabot and Gauthier cashes in - 5-3 Canada

We are on to a TOUGH Sweden team

I think Canada is gong to need better goaltending than they got tonight going forward or they'll be lucky to get bronze.

I thought Ingram played pretty good between the pipes except for the 2nd Czech goal (that 3rd goal was some pretty bad defensive zone coverage by Canada). The other thing to keep in mind is that Sweden are going into the game as the favourites and that's usually when they are ripe for the picking.

Agreed that only the 2nd one was bad. The first was really just a fluke. But when you face as few shots as he did and let in two legit goals, one bad goal is one too many in my opinion. Good enough to beat an inferior team but might not be good enough to beat the Swedes. I think he might have been a bit cold since that was the first shot he faced in probably close to 45 minutes of real time, maybe even more.

Not that it matters but Chabot should have been player of the game. What a game.

Saving an even better game for the semi-final or gold medal game, I reckon.

/I hope

Agreed. Gauthier had a pretty good game too though so I had a feeling he would get it, especially when Chabot already won it twice.

Fun fact about Julien Gauthier. 2 of his great-uncles formed an 80s WWF tag-team known as the Rougeau brothers.

I like it - Ducharme ramping up the pressure for Tre Kronor.

“They showed in the last 10 years that they’re really good in the first round, but they have ways to lose when things get tougher,” Ducharme said. “And we want to make it tough on them.

Sweet jeebus. Never EVER provide any bulletin board material.

Never works out in the end
