WJHC (World Junior Hockey Championships) 2016

And as I write that he skates into a teammate and that turnover causes a goal against. I'll blame the teammate though.

I credit the Canadian forward who steered him into said teammate
 
Marner with a slick wheel n' deal on the PP (that he drew) for Virtanen's 2nd. 4-1.

He just held the puck and wove through all 4 Swedes to make the goalmouth pass.
 
Marner's just been on another level than everyone else when Canada's on a powerplay. Gets rewarded with an assist now.

I think we can remove "weak" and "undersized" from the list of words used to describe Nylander. Can probably replace them with "awesome" and "amazing" and "god I love him".

How's his brother look?

I heard William is lazy on the backcheck. Any merit to this?
 
Sweden just blasted a goal literally through the net.

W. Nylander with the screen and near tip.
 
19 s later, the Swedes strike again with a nice power drive up the right wing and a pass against the seam. 5-3

Haven't noticed Alex much actually.

As for the backchecks, I don't recall any specific examples of it. In a very general sense though he's seemed like a guy who always wants the puck, and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to get it.

Actually just as I was typing this he had a rather short backcheck where he lifted a Canadian's stick right as he entered Sweden's zone and stole the puck from him. Made it look like it was nothing.

I think that's where the 'lazy' comes from. He makes it look so easy he does not appear to be 'trying'.

Alex looks pretty much like a younger, less dynamic William. Decent shot and wheels. Not as creative, but also because he doesn't have the centreman's opportunity.
 
Sweden converts on a 5 on 3 goal, blasting another puck through the net (it's a terrible net). A. Nylander with the primary assist.

The refs initially waved it off, but the Swedes were like, screw it, and started circling in the middle to celebrate.

6-5 CAN.
 
And on the remainder of the power play, Sweden scores another goal through the net. Same guy as the first time. 6-6.
 
New rule to improve scoring: Use these nets, but if the puck goes through the mesh it a) counts as a goal and b) doesn't stop play. Genius!
 
I missed the finish because I got called into a meeting.

Good to see Marner hit the score sheet.
