2014 World Junior Championship Pool

I think I made up some ground on the leaders, but not sure who caught me as well. Should be a close finish, though watchingthegame is likely to get a huge bump if the Swedes steamroll the Slovaks.

[blayze]

Damn, wish I had noticed this thread last month. Looks like a lot of fun.

[dodospice]

I can't believe I talked myself out of Domi and McDavid... McDavid I figured would be very rusty after his layoff and Domi I thought would end up in the doghouse with some undisciplined play, boy was I wrong...

A fair amount, I'd say. McDavid showing up in the later rounds of the tournament is helping a lot of people, and the Swedes unspectacular showing against the Russians didn't help.

The russians scored a lot, but very few of those who got points were picked.

Talked myself out of :

Domi in favor of Nick Ritchie (playing the top line with McDavid and Lazar herp derp - that's a 7 point gap)

Demko for Saros (That's another 6 or 8 points since Saros got nothing).

I'm at 91 and first place has 107. Those extra 13 keep me in the running.

FML.

all i need is like 20 goals in the can/rus game and i could potentially win

Damn hindsight.

[horrorfan]

I'm just happy that I'm inside the top 10 at this late stage. Hope I can stay there.

Speaking of hindsight, since it's fun to reflect on what could've been, I was this close to swapping Saros (my current pick) with Soderstrom. Oh well.

[Mr. Guru]

A Canada win would put me 5 behind but still thats too much ground to cover.

[doulos]

Thought I might be a point or two closer. Basically had a perfect day and am still back by 5

I need Slovakia to win, preferably keeping Nylander's points somewhere close to zero. And need McDavid to go nutso.

[Magicstew]

Loaded up on Swedes and Yanks

[doulos]

Lost 1 point in the Sweden/Slovakia game.

Looks like McDavid (x2) and Provorov for me vs Domi for watchingthegame and I need to gain 6 points. Awfully slim chances.

[audiopile]

I need that top line of Canada to light it up. Domi/Duclair show, like game 1.

Oh wow, you have Petan and Fucale as well. I like your chances better than mine. I had Reway so picked up 3 points on you, but if Canada goes crazy with points you'll be in great shape.

[Axeman33]

As much as I'd love to see it, I am skeptical that Canada lights up Russia. It's not that it's not possible, especially with that roster, but I just don't see it happening.
