Lol I dont get like that with world juniors or Olympics. Maybe its cause Canada is expected to win, and chances are the other team has a Canucks player or a prospect I'm quietly cheering for. I still want Canada to win but it's not like a Canucks game for me. Canucks elimination playoff games take years off my life... worth it though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gord's already called it for Canada - Russia Highly unlikely we will lose, but still. I've seen crazier finishes at the WJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am enjoying this blood bath after what they did to us last year as well. Couldn't have asked for anything better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks elimination playoff games take years off my life... worth it though I agree, I also have to remind myself during the juniors that they're just kids playing hockey. I get rattled way easier by canucks games more than international games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Obviously adult pros best on best like the Olympics is the highest international hockey. But there's something that the World Junior's offers that that doesn't. All that skill combined with speed, energy, youth, makes for some magical hockey to watch. I don't understand those that won't watch WJ. Tony Gallahger comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you spend your time following and watching the same group of guys, to see them grow and finally get to the summit is a special feeling. Its a short tournament so its hard to really get to know the players. We haven't seen their growth either. Its definitely less intense of an atmosphere for me. Playoff games I have been so nervous that my hands are shaking and my teeth are chattering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the World Juniors is Olympic Hockey without being in the Olympics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Didn't like that shot of Burnsie talking to Hunter....that's rarely anything but bad news. Judging by the play, it looks like a shoulder to me, or maybe a collarbone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
