Here is VOD for the semi final game. Not sure if it is open to you guys in the US.
World Jr. Championship Games On-Demand : Semi-Final: USA vs. Canada
You can watch John Merrill.
Overall played ok, has good poise but would like to see him use his size and take the body more than doing stick checks. Not saying stick checks aren't good because that is where he uses his reach advantage but would just like him to throw the body more.
Was on for 3 of the 4 Canada goals.
First goal was tough luck, let Campbell take the shooter and tried to stop the second effort as Campbell was beat.
Second goal, I thought was where he should have used the body more on the Canadian player coming in. Yes he did keep the player to outside but I think taking the body hard here would have really been the better option.
Third goal was the 5 on 3 pp for Canada and it is hard to clear the front of the net in a situation like that.
