On Saturday, he executed it in a big way, scoring a highlight-reel-worthy goal that helped Canada to a 5-1 win over Czechia at the world junior hockey championship.
“I’ve been practising that move since I was like, 14, and doing it," he said. "Now it’s just something that’s kind of in the tool box.”“It’s a big goal, a really good one," said Johnson, who added an assist in the third period. "I think it’s the period I was having, too. I think I would have been pretty pumped for it to go off my skate, too."
McTavish scored twice for Canada on Saturday, while Ridly Greig and Tyson Foerster each found the back of the net. Jack Thompson, Ronan Seeley and Stankoven each contributed a pair of assists.Jaroslav Chmelar was sent to the box after running fellow New York Rangers prospect Brennan Othmann into the boards from behind and leaving the Canadian with a bloody nose.
Seconds earlier, Suchanek made an eye-popping stop to preserve his team's lead. Stationed at the side of the net, Johnson got a quick shot off on the out-of-position netminder but Suchanek slid over just in time to make a diving glove save. “This tournament, now as the games get better and the competition gets tougher, you have to stick with it," he said. " was really good and we stuck with it and found a way.”
