Men's Ice Hockey IIHF Under 20 World Championship 2018

[phelps 7,664]

wow! what a scoring machine the Canadians are...

the Czechs were just destroyed as the Swiss a couple of days ago...

 

on the other side, the Swedes took the game against the US boys a lot more seriously than the previous efforts...and they did show what they can really do...the final score doesn't tell the whole truth...the Swedish domination was absolutely unmatched for the first 53 minutes (USA had just 1 big chance before the 3-Kronor did break the game with the 3-goal storm in 2 minutes at the beginning of the 3rd period...3rd and 4th goal shorthanded! )...

 

hopefully, tonight we're going to see someone really capable of giving Canada some troubles (when it really matters, not just in "exhibition official games" like the snowy match against the USA last week)...

Mittelstadt named MVP

Two Americans, two Swedes on all-star team

 

U.S. forward Casey Mittelstadt was voted the Most Valuable Player of the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship by the media.

 

The 19-year-old centre from Edina, Minnesota had 11 points for the bronze-medal Americans (4-7-11) to lead the tournament. As a 2017 first-round draft pick (eighth overall) of the Buffalo Sabres, he was a fan favorite at both KeyBank Center and the 29 December outdoor game at New Era Field, where the U.S. beat Canada 4-3 in a shootout.

 

Mittelstadt was also named Top Forward and a tournament all-star along with fellow American Kieffer Bellows, who led the World Juniors with nine goals. Silver-medal Sweden also had two players receive Directorate Awards and all-star berths: goalie Filip Gustavsson and defenceman Rasmus Dahlin.

Forward Filip Zadina became the first Czech all-star since goalie Petr Mrazek (2012).

 

Total tournament attendance for 30 games in Buffalo was 211,210.
