Dylan Guenther makes the game 1-0. Thoughts on the goal?

So why is that hit on Zellweger only 2 minutes? Should be 5 minutes. Very dangerous hit.

At least it led to the Canada goal.

I hope Fantilli is okay. What do you think about Bedard, and that Powerplay in general?

Proper call.
But Fant-y better layoff admiring his skate laces in the slot if he wants a long career - Hockey Rule #1...

Watched him play live yesterday and noticed a few things

- His deception is nuts, he does the opposite of what it looks like he's doing
- Along with his shot being amazing, his playmaker is his strongest asset
- His off the puck isn't great. He can definitely improve his play in the offensive zone away from the puck.
- His defensive game is terrible. Not that it matters because he's so good in the offensive zone, but his defensive game is equivalent to Mike Hoffman, dudes a pylon in the defensive zone.
- He tries to much on his own. He has to utilize his teammates more. Many times yesterday he'd do a dumb deke in center ice only to lose the puck and give up an odd man rush (thankfully Canada has decent defenders to make up for it)

I'd also like to point out that he's a 2x underager at this tournament. He can play for 2 more tournaments if he wanted too (though I doubt he even returns next year).

Fun fact - Hoffman's defense this year is the best in the entire Habs

Hoffman prior to this year lol. My point is he floats around the defensive zone until we have the puck and then he takes off. Very lazy defensively. Maybe that will improve with age and his body filling out though.

They're very underrated. Guess it depends on how the round robins play out. Don't see them beating Canada or Sweden.. Any other team isn't out of the question though.

No, they won’t. Their best chance to win is if all the best teams play like sh*t (which could be a possibility, but can’t see it happening).

They aren’t bad, the other teams are just more skilled. Out of all the teams, they’re probably the hardest working ones there. They’ll spank Austria badly and could possibly beat Germany.

Speaking of which, I was just reminiscing about the Stutzle, Peterka, and Elias days of Germany WJC.
