Short tournaments are tough for goaltenders, they only have a limited amount of time to get hot. Jake Allen was terrible last season, and is setting the AHL on fire this season...Not sure you can really blame the selection committee for the goaltenders failures, they took the two best guys, but to this point neither has gotten hot.

Martin Jones is standing on his head in the AHL as well.

I don't care if Jake Allen wins a Stanley Cup this year and Roy wins a Veznia next year. This is two years in a row we've had shit goaltending at the World Jrs.

Meh, not like any of the other contenders have had solid goaltending.

The FIN goalies have been fantastic.

Would you honestly label the Fin's contenders though?

I think not counting the FIN's as a medal threat would be silly, they lack defensive depth and size, but have insane grit and work ethic on top of top end speed and surprising skill.

They very well could be a threat for a bronze, but without Granlund, they have no hope of contending for a gold.

Jack Campbell is money when it matters.

Goaltending at it again

LOL, I can tell you have watched alot of Windsor and Team USA games this year...Jack Campbell has been horrible this year, and is incredibly raw with his positioning, but his size and athleticism are off the charts for a young netminder.

not mention his confidence was completely shot at the start of the year, hes getting back to sort of being on track they are watching him very closely but i think his being tested this much and struggling right now will make him a better a goaltender in the future

I love his future, don't get me wrong, but he hasn't been great this season, and certainly not "money when it matters" as Shiv suggested.

annnnnd shiv gets called out for talking bullshit for the 346th time.

Conz is money

Swedes just got fucked, that should of been icing Easily. Why would that be waived off?

Jack Campbell has alot of tools to work with, but this tournament showed just how far away he is yet...But that's ok, no goaltender is a finished product at 18.

Go Russia ...
