  1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z Generation Z They're running out of letters . .
  2. High stick on shoulder. Russians are great actors I wonder if Canada will be burned again with a penalty to start the second.
  3. Russia knows Canada is not used to the Euro refs, and is taking advantage by making sure they drop at any opportunity.
  4. What a freakin nailbiter! Marky def deserves the All Star.
  5. I loved the audacity of Canada using gold in their uniforms in the 2014 Olympics.
  6. 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.
  7. Gord's already called it for Canada - Russia Highly unlikely we will lose, but still. I've seen crazier finishes at the WJ
  8. It's happened before they have put everything into the semi-final, and not had enough in the final. I'm sure not letting themselves underestimate Finland this time was big on their minds. On the other hand, Russia's drubbing of them the last game will help motivate them.........IF they win this that is...
  9. Stupid? Yes. Probably thought one of the 4 magoos would have seen the high stick, and was expecting a call. But sure, a dumb move. Bad taste though. If that sequence happened against Canada, we'd be p'd as hell.
  10. Wow, instead of a double minor to get back in the game they lose a good player for 10 minutes. Don't like that kind of incompetence when it happens to Canada, or any other team.
  11. Stecher for me as well. Pearson is a close second. But forwards like Pearson, Leivo, Sutter do get praise when they have a good stretch of games. Meanwhile Stecher just goes on consistently doing his job, night after night, never complaining about being on the bottom pair or excluded from the PP. I don't know about his fancy stats, but with the eye test he seems to put in 100% every shift, and I contend he is our best defenseman, besides Hughes of course, at making the quick smart decisions with the puck even under pressure. Clearing the puck out of the zone and finding a forward to pass to. If he loses the puck, he ferociously skates to retake it. He uses position to make up for size expertly. Love the guy.
  12. just got in watching on the ferry. My gawd this game has been going on an insane pace all game long. Both teams will be exhausted after this one.
