So being a nice dad, I let my kid watch Muppets Take Manhattan after dinner, while I record the game.
Movie is over, kid goes upstairs, I settle in to watch the game.

about 30 seconds into the game, my wife comes down and says "why would you want to watch an 8-0 game?"
"thanks dear. did you want to watch something, or did you just spoil the game to generally be an asshole?"
"no I'm fine. enjoy your game" :gaah:

Holy Crap, SVK beat Finland 2-1 today.
shots were 38-12 for Finland.

So after two games, 12 GF, 0 GA. That's all right.

And now it begins...
Finland + USA are a bit of a step up.
Nice to control our destiny thanks to the that first OT game though.

...and don't it make SO much more sense to have 3 points given for a reg-time win. Gee G.Ari, do ya think you can wrap your nuts around that one, or at least offer an excuse, why not?

Finns are having real trouble establishing offensive zone time, though. Their best player (aside from their goalies) is dman Julius Honka. I'm not saying it's going to be a cake walk, but Canada should be able to wear down the Finns over the 60 minutes and earn a regulation win.

I'm watching a little of this Denmark - Czech Republic game - This kid Bjorkstrand looks like he's going to be a heck of a player.

Finns have strong goaltending again, whoudda thunk it?

I still want to get my hands on that god damned book.

I haven't seen him much beyond rookie camp, but he's got wheels for days. All the reports out of Portland say he's a sure fire stud.

And another Jacket Junior looks ready to rip it up:
U.S. Defeats Sweden 10-5 in World Juniors Tune-Up

5 helpers against the Swedes for Stick Tricks Milano. Let's hope he can do it when it counts.

Also, I think the Bruins could use David Pastrnak once he's done playing for the Czech Republic at this tourney.

This Danish goalie SØRENSEN is playing great for Danmark.

This has been a great game between the Danes and Czechs and we are going to overtime.

Shots on goal through three periods: Czechs 46, Danes 14

A beautiful goal by the Bruins draft pick Pastrnak ends it.

By the way, the Jets have some good players on the horizon with Nik Ehlers (Denmark) and Nik Petan (Canada).

He had a nice bad-angle snipe today.

He was a real standout in Malmo
I was not pleased when the bruins grabbed him

Solid performance from Canada results in a 4-1 victory over the Finns. Both Canada and the US have clinched the top two spots in the group, so the New Years Eve game is somewhat meaningless. That said, it's Canada versus USA.
