2016 World Junior Hockey discussion

Philly is going to like that guy.

We should have traded up to get him. Johansen probably could have landed him.


/blech.

HEEEEERE WE GOOO



(by the way, my furnace went up so I am at home "working"/watching while the guy works on it. Don't think I found a stream and didn't share.)

 

[forty_three]

Well, Georgiev kind of fucked that up.

Rob Tychkowski @Sun_Tychkowski
Finland is going to be drunk out of its mind tonight. Plus, they also have the World Junior Championship to celebrate.

Oh, now I see it on replay, Provorov took Georgiev out. He couldn't get across the crease.

So glad we didn't trade up to draft that bum. :P



In all seriousness, what a game for both teams. Love seeing that passion on the ice.

The scary thing is there are several guys on this Finnish squad that could be back at next year's tourney.

It's not a real overtime unless its 3 on 3.

The president of the International Ice Hockey Federation says lowering ticket prices and boosting the number of French-speaking players on Canada's roster could help improve attendance at the 2017 world junior championship in Montreal.

Ticket sales were disappointing in Montreal during the 2015 world junior tournament, which the city co-hosted with Toronto. Montreal held preliminary round games while Toronto handled the playoff rounds.

The two cities will co-host the 2017 event, which begins in December, with Montreal hosting the medal round and Toronto taking on the preliminary round.

As Gonzalez spoke about how he believes that snowbirds — Canadians heading to the southern United States in the winter months — shouldn't affect ticket sales in Montreal, Fasel and Kummola interrupted with another suggestion.

"Maybe there should be more French-speaking players on the Canadian team," Kummola said to Fasel within range of the microphones.

Cheaper tickets, more francophones key to selling world juniors in Montreal: IIHF boss

Montrealers just can't be bothered to riot in January.

LOL. Well when you flaunt the fact that you've done no research on your opponent, nor do you plan to do any research, leading up to the biggest of your team's tournament you shouldn't worry about getting your resume ready.



At least he's smart enough to see the writing on the wall though.

Yep, they're far from Finnished.

Man, you were Russian to get that one in, am I right?

You can't blame me, I've definitely Putin the time here.

So, Finland has taken 2 out of the last 3 tourneys, looks like they're producing forwards and defensemen in addition to goalies these days?

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Swede Baby Jesus!! Help US!! CAN you not see that this tournament is not just about two teams.

LATely any team can go right into the lion's DEN and come out with this trophy.

Goalie, defencemen, forwards...

[KennyBanyeah]
