IIHF.com. Seven for seventh
BRNO – USA Hockey is going to have to clear out some more room in the
U18 trophy case. The Americans romped over Sweden Sunday evening 7-0,
winning their fourth straight world championship and seventh overall to
further cement the States’ dominance at the U18 level.
Mental mistakes for Sweden in the second period led to three key goals
for the Americans and buried the Swedes’ gold medal chances. The United
States defence shut down the potent Swedish offence through three
periods, in the process setting an IIHF U18 world championship record
of only four goals allowed throughout the entire tournament.
“Things turned for us in the second period," said USA coach Danton
Cole. "We were able to get a good forecheck going and forced them into
making a few mistakes that we were able to capitalize on and I think
that turned the game for us. I though our guys did a great job, they
played hard and skated very physical.”
While Sweden opened the frame with good pressure on Olson, one bad
giveaway in their own zone led to a breakaway goal from Daniel O’Regan
to make it 2-0.
Five minutes later, Nicolas Kerdiles sent a pass to JT Compher at
centre ice, triggering a two-on-one for the States. Compher kept the
puck and shot it under the arm of Swedish goaltender Oscar Dansk for
the 3-0 lead. The goal prompted Sweden’s coach Rikard Gronborg to pull
Dansk in favour of backup goaltender Marcus Hogberg.
While the Swedes committed costly mistakes in their own end, the
Americans remained steady in their defensive zone and opportunistic on
offence. With the score 3-0 and three minutes remaining in the second
period, Sweden had a chance to shift the momentum when U.S. defenceman
Brady Skej was called for holding. But their power play lasted a total
of four seconds, as Jacob de la Rose was caught on a tripping call to
eliminate Sweden’s advantage.
On the ensuing four-on-four, Swedish defenceman Christian Djoos crossed
his own blue line, but inexplicably passed it back to the middle of the
ice. No one was there to pick it up for Sweden, and Kerdiles jumped on
the puck and beat Hogberg with a forehand deke to give the U.S. a
commanding 4-1 lead.
"The guys tried to do a little bit too much in the second and the other
team took advantage of that," said Gronborg. "The U.S. played a perfect
game, they scored on the opportunities that they had and it was the
difference.”
Ryan Hartman, Connor Carrick, and Kerdiles each added a goal following
the second intermission to complete the 7-0 rout, and the U.S. coasted
the rest of the way until the final whistle gave the team its fourth
straight IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship gold medal and record
tenth medal in the tournament. The margin of victory is the second
highest in the U18 gold medal game after Canada's 8-0 win over Russia
in 2008, and gives further testament to the success of the U.S.
National Team Development Program.
“Yeah it is,” said USA captain Seth Jones when asked if this year’s win
was sweeter than when he won the gold in 2011. “I’ve been with this
group of guys for two years and it’s incredible to win this one. At the
National Team Development Program we focus on strength building and
physical development and I can’t tell you how far I’ve come personally
through the program and how far the team has come through this program.”
Both teams came out fast and furious in the opening period, with
end-to-end action and quick transitions throughout the frame. Sweden
looked to take advantage of two penalties by the U.S., but on the
second power play defenceman Calle Andersson took a shot from the point
by was blocked by the US point man. The puck came out of the zone just
as Ryan Hartman came out of the penalty box. Hartman was initially
stopped by Dansk, but the Swedish goaltender could not get a handle on
the rebound, and with two U.S. players jamming at it the puck was
accidentally kicked in by a teammate and slipped past Dansk and into
the net for the first goal of the game, with the credit going to Thomas
DiPauli.
As the clock wound down to zero in the third, the Americans mobbed
Olson to celebrate their gold medal victory. Olson was chosen as the
Best Goaltender by the tournament directorate, while Swedish captain
Filip Forsberg was selected as top forward and Canada’s Matt Dumba as
top defenceman.
Olson recorded his third shutout of the tournament, tying Jack Campbell's record set in 2010.
“It started with the goaltending,” said USA captain Seth Jones. “Olson
and Rutledge were outstanding, allowing four goals total in the whole
tournament, that’s unheard of. They really set the tempo and the
defence came behind them.” |
