The Summer is here and the primo hockey content is kind of thin, what with the only big news being whether or not David Pastrnak will end up signed here and mostly kvetching about what player “deserves” to have a good camp.
Thankfully the IIHF are willing to jump in and hand us the World Junior Summer Showcase! Basically the NBA’s summer league but with teenagers from hockey playing countries. And ho boy...did Sweden and Finland have a point to make tonight.
Both teams played like the building was on fire and they didn’t have another rink to go to, trading goals and wild saves like it was nothing.
