Tournament started today. 3rd period of 1st game, Canada beating Latvia 15-0 to open it up.
We are on a 5 yr streak, and trying to make it 6.
I don't follow hockey much, but this tour I do. Probably because of it being during the holidays, not really sure. But yea, I like watching it.
Anyone else?
Heavyweights beating up on flyweights going for 6 in row.:p
Is it on ice or grass? Its a good spectator sport, I like ice hockey.
Pretty much. Most of the opening games are kinda mismatched so the stronger teams meet up later in the tour. Russia, Sweden, Finland, the USA are usually strong and good prospects. Final score was 16-0.Quote:

This year is quite good in matter of french Canadian in the whole team for sure nonaway, loads of frenchie or not, I am always 100% behind the National team, Junior, U18 and all the others. Normally if Canada is eliminated, I go depending of my feelings, by these time I quite like Latvia because I know a lot of latvian peoples and because their team did well last year... which seems that it won't be the case this year but indeed... but still Josh, even if you're not that hot because we lack Canucks on the rooster, you have to support the red leaf-ed legion :)Quote:

IT is, but only blind patriotism, just supporting your hockey team ain't too patriotic if you respect the adversaries I think :)
We respected the shit out of Latvia! :p

:D A Flash of Bill Hicks went through my mind then!
"You take that back, my daddy died for this flag!"
Well gee, thats strange, it says made in China right here on the corner.
Can 6 - Switzerland 0
Slovakia next today at 8 pm est.
(CFH, our forums communist sympathizer pinko should be happy to know Russia beat Finland 2-0 on this day as well)
The only reason why I am happy that Russia did beat Finland is so we have chances to cross the skates and beat the hell out of them once more :p Thus said, Russia for the Olympics will have the hell of a team with Markov, Kovalchuck, Ovechkin and Malkin :o Hopefully their goalie won't be too shiny and their defense beside Markov a bit shaky plus we have a very physical team *cross fingers*Quote:

Go Canada Go ! ! ! !
Canada 8 - Slovakia 2
Canada plays the USA New Years eve and this should be a very good game, both teams currently 3-0.
Canadian juniors roll on against Slovakia
Canada vs USA
This game was to see who gets the bye into the semi finals with both teams 3-0 going in.
For the first 50 minutes of this game Canada played bad. Coughing up the puck far too often, giving away 2 short-handed goals, etc. But with 10 minutes remaining the one thing we are known for is never giving up. Losing 4-2 with under 10 minutes left, the team dug deep and got focused and tied it up, sending it to overtime, which proved nothing, and then to a shootout. The shoot out proved the difference with Canada scoring all 3 times, to the USA's 2.
Final score 5-4 and Canada gets the bye.
That was an epic game. I was cheering for the U.S., but you could tell they were doomed after the 4-3 goal.Quote:

Thus said, I am positve we can go for the gold at the moment, it looks damn fine for our boys and this close victory can only make them to think about the importance of discipline.
Yes, I was. Jordan Schroeder, who plays for the U.S., was the Canucks first round pick in the 2009 draft and quite frankly I am so goddamn sick of hearing about the Canadian juniors. They're playing on home ice (again), they've won the last 5 years in a row, and I am fucking tired of having them rammed down my throat. Regardless of the fact that I won the geographic lottery when I was born I will not be cheering for the Canadian junior team. Fuck 'em. I hope they lose and I hope Pierre McGuire goes insane as a result so I never have to hear him give another 2 hour long verbal handjob to the Canadian team while calling the games.Quote:

Hehe, I don't care about the commentators, neither the number of french Canadians in the team, I am just cheering for my country on an entertaining point of view. Vancouver is damn nice, for that it is perhaps the most beautiful province of Canada but I like the idea of being quite closer to Europe, new-York and Boston, guess that I am somehow an east coast result deep inside. Thus said, I was happier when the U18 won gold as their goaler is a close relative (Louis Boileau Domingue) but I am happy to see the game our juniors are displaying this year, they just commit too many indiscipline faults but other than that, they are quite solid and so are our girls!Quote:

I would love to somehow move the province of B.C. (and our weather here in the south) to the east coast to be close to the Eastern Seaboard and Europe. I'm looking forward to potentially moving to Toronto in part because I'll be that much closer to those places.Quote:

So like most things, I suppose there is a trade off.Quote:

For the nightlife neither, most things close at 1:00 am where in Montreal, because it is set under the french rules, everything can be open till 3:00 am without problems. However business wise and jobwise, Toronto is definitely better than Montreal, it's bigger, more companies (more expensive to live, too)and to go to Europe you can have dozen more flights and in average always cheaper. On that side, you can't go wrong at all. When would you get there Youngblood? An Montreal, any chances you have to visit the boxing mecca of Canada anytime soon?Quote:

Final score Canada 6 - Switzerland 1
Sweden plays the USA tonight to determine who will face Canada in the final. Either team should prove to be strong enough to make it an exciting game as Canada continues the drive for world junior hockey supremacy and 6 consecutive wins.
The final will be played Tuesday.
The USA beat Sweden 5-2 and the stage is set.
After the last game, in which the USA dominated the greater portion of, Canada needs to come ready for this one from the opening puck drop. Having heart and never giving up in one thing, but playin from behind is never a good thing.
Should be a great game.
Go Canada!

I was hoping Sweden would win, but oh well. Go America!

Not as big as Canada-Russia but a good north American Rivalry indeed, our boys should not make the same mistake as at the beginning of the tournament and this time, it should not be as dramatic as the first time, go homeboys go, six in a row:D
And the puck is dropped and we're under way!
Just under 3 mins in and Canada scores! 1-0
This game is already very exciting and back and forth wide open hockey. Anyone's game to win.
2-1 bad guys! Woohoo!
As soon as I post that Canada scores. 2-2.
Damn what a game!
Much I'm sure to our USA traitor/communist's delight, Benedict Arnoldomov aka CFH, the US storms back and scores 2 goals in 32 seconds to make it 2-1.
Shortly after Canada takes advantage of an offensive drive and ties it up.
2-2 it is.
