    I'm there with you!!

    Love the Junior Tourney over the holidays. One of my favorite sporting events of the year. It's Canada's answer to the NCAA tournament.

    Very excited to watch Kadri play.

    as a Canadian living in NYC, I'm happy the NHL network is carrying some games. This great tournament gets absolutely no recognition down here. Enjoy.

    4-2 USA right now. Nowhere I'd rather be on NYE!
  • MrMerkinballMrMerkinball Posts: 1,978
    And Canada wins with the shootout. That was huge

    FANTASTIC game. I was really impressed with the US's speed and transition game. Tough one to lose, but Canada is still Canada. Definitely want a rematch in the Final.

    Horrible loss

    You don't blow a 2 goal lead against canada. You bury them and not choke. Our boys still played a hell of a game. Our goalie is gonna be a superstar some day in the nhl.

    that was one of the best World Junior games, an instant classic, even if Canada lost

    it's amazing to see the level of hockey played at the World Juniors with such raw talent, especially compared to the level of professional skill in the NHL, this hockey is amazing at this level and to think they are 18 and 19 year olds

    My wife just surprised me with tickets to the gold medal game!!! :o

    Leaving from Edmonton and heading off to hopefully see the boys win gold again! 5hr drive and won't get there until about 1am their time but so worth it!

    Always dreamt of seeing the Jr's play, let alone Canada/USA for the gold ;)

    GO CANADA GO :!: :D:clap: :thumbup:

    Did anyone catch Dean Blundell (in Toronto) giving the USA goalie a 4am wake up call on the radio? Awesome
  • MrMerkinballMrMerkinball Posts: 1,978
    Questionable 2-10 penalty.

    It was too funny.

    Dean: Um this is Housekeeping, would you like towels

    Lee: (silence) ummmm no

    It should be 9 - 5 Canada with all the chances they've had in the last 5 minutes.

    amazing that they came back both games down 2 in the 3rd to the Americans

    love to see a shoot-out for the intensity

    the one 2 or 3 years ago with Toews lit it up was really intense, and that was for the semis

    I think everyone I know is watching this game (probably everyone in the country). Is it even on television in the US?
