Home Forums Skybox Sports Bar Clearing the Zone World Junior Hockey Championship

Well, for the few of us who enjoy hockey, there is real hockey being played. The World Junior Championships always provide great hockey. It showcases the players before they get 'tainted' by the NHL and smothered by all the clutching and grabbing and the 'trap' that happen in the NHL.
It is being played in Grand Forks, North Dakota and Thief River Falls (?), Minnesota, so if any of you live in those areas, go check out a game.
Canada is off to it usual great start (2-0) and hopefully will follow it through in the medal round. The USA is 1-0 so far.

USA losing to belarus at home was quite the shocker...Canada should win it all tomorrow

The US did not have a good tournament. I expected them to do a lot better. Even with the loss to Belarus, which was shocking, and the loss to the Czechs, they could have redeemed themselves by beating Russia (who they beat in the preliminary round), but got smoked in that game.
Canada has been to the final game in the previous 3 years and lost. This will be a great game tonight (Russia has a pretty good offensive team) but it should be Canada's time to shine.

great game? I was hoping for one....too bad Canada had to blow em out like everyone else.

This team has to rank up there with best WJC teams ever with the way they blew everyone out each game of the tourney.
