IIHF world championships 2023

[French Collection]

Fantilli scores a beauty to put Canada up 3-2 in the third.

This kid fits in, doesn’t look like a draft year player. No where near Power’s dominant play at this tournament two years ago.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Fantilli scores his first of the tourney on a sick deek.  3-2 Canada.

Canada to the gold medal game. They had a tough time with Latvia. 4-2 final.

USA (Tuch) or Germany (JJP) as the opponent.

Quinn player of the game.

Quinn and Krebs were both really good in this game. First Canada game I watched all the way through.

I haven't watched any of the games in this tournament. By all reports JJ has played well for Germany. I'm really excited about the Quinn/Cozens/JJ line next season.

 Yes they were. As I posted last season, I would love to see Krebs get a couple of linemates that have scoring ability. He is such a good playmaker with an obvious non-stop motor. That first goal for Canada was all him. 

 The Quinn bank shot off the goalies mask was awesome. Let it rip immediately from the impossible angle with that idea in mind.

I don’t know what it would cost but Adams should be on the phone with Arizona 

I would kill for Crouse. I think he'd be our Tkachuk-lite

Pretty diifferent type of player

[Eleven]

It's like Canada's plan in every international tournament is to screw around in the prelims and then turn it on in the elimination rounds.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Tuch scores in the first 2 minutes.  USA 1-0. Tick-Tack-Toe passing play with Tuch finishing.

Tuch steals the puck and passes to Grimaldi for a breakaway. USA 2-0 less than 4 minutes in.

And different a position. But Cozens still has 4 years of filling out, strengthening up, and learning boardwork as they've had. But in terms of size, strength, going into corners and to the net, and willingness to battle, he's the current Sabre that could matchup.

Quinn trailing 2-1 and now Tuch early on decided that Latvia and Germany should be competing for bronze.

Earlier in the season I said Krebs was one of the best passers on the team and got a lot of blowback from some people. Glad to see his skills are being recognized. He is a real heart and soul leader type. 

Rousek is a very good playmaker too. Nice to see playmakers like Mitts, Krebs, Savoie, Rousek to offset the scorers they have accumulated.

2 straight for the Germans.  PP goal and a defensive D scores.  2-2 4 minutes left in the 1st

JJP with an assist on the second German goal.

3-2 USA after 2

[French Collection]

There’s a line I like to hear, “pocket picked by Peterka”.

[PromoTheRobot]

All tied up.

I like that lighting effect at center ice.

[PromoTheRobot]

Go Germany in the finals.

Peterka vs Quinn, Krebs, Levi

Bring it on!

Too bad Levi won’t be facing Peterka.

I was wrong. I was wrong about Deustchland. Tell your brother (Tuch)… I was wrong.
