That’s not to say that Knies was invisible, he was far more comfortable directing traffic to get himself to the front of the net, was aggressive on puck battles, and broke p a potential shorthanded breakaway for Czechia. The five minute major to Brett Berard sank Team USA’s best shot at coming out strong in the third, and while Knies isn’t used as a penalty killer, a 4 on 4 opportunity presented itself. Beyond the assist, Knies had a sizeable hit on David Jiricek, and he was generally aggressive on the attack. Knies has been more tentative than you’d hope to see from him offensively and he seems to be yielding to Cooley and Coronato to establish the play rather than jumping in himself. He won a couple of puck battles, and landed a big hit to do the things you’d hope to see from him on, but the offense wasn’t there. Matthew Knies picked up a secondary assist on the only American goal in the period.

I didn't think he was effective at all in the second, but he really started to get a little more active in the third period, especially when Team USA had an extended power play and he was able to generate from the top of the point. He was Canada's third leading scorer and the heart and soul of their impressive third line. He did contribute a fair amount in the third period push to come back, but the errant pass that led tot he empty-net goal by Kulich also came off of Hughes's stick.

In 2009, his sister Amanda Kessel (6+13=19) topped the points derby as the U.S. Yet the player who got the eventual winner in the 6-1 gold medal romp over Russia in Grand Forks, North Dakota wasn’t a future superstar. In 1998, when Niklas Hagman got the 2-1 sudden-death winner against Russia, Hannu Kapanen, now a Finnish Hockey Hall of Famer (2005), was the team’s head coach. 2) Canada is the most successful nation in World Junior history with 18 gold medals, but surprisingly few of its bench bosses have used coaching at the tournament as a springboard to Stanley Cup triumphs. The IIHF first adopted the playoff format in 1996 when Boston hosted the World Juniors. However, if we apply the first Art Ross Trophy tiebreaker (“Player with the most goals”) to the World Juniors, then McDavid drops off the list, since Canadian teammate Sam Reinhart equalled McDavid’s 11 points in 2015 but scored five goals to McDavid’s three. Did you know that all three points recorded on the first goal ever scored in an IIHF World Junior gold medal game went to future Calgary Flames forwards? Canada leads the way with Wayne Gretzky (1978 WJC), Jarome Iginla (1996 WJC), and Connor McDavid (2015 WJC). 1) When Czechoslovakia hammered Austria 21-4 at the 1981 World Juniors in West Germany, it was the most goals ever scored by one team in a single game. The Czechoslovaks, coached by future IIHF Hall of Famer Jozef Golonka, actually got more goals in that game than the sixth-place U.S. did in the entire tournament (19).
