World Jr championships

Post by MACMAN »

Wow, anyone els watch lastnights game? I tell you what, considering the HUGE advantage Canada gets from playing these games in front of packed home crowds, should have had them lastnight, and I think we will surely take them after battling back into the medal round.
In front of a USA crowd, Canada doesnt make that come back last night.
I would so much rather see that USA team play in the Olympics than the NHL dandy's, they are faster, and play harder than any last min thrown together NHL deal...I would like to see the NHL olympic team play this JR team before the olympics...I dont think the NHLers would stand a chance.

US Olympic roster was released a little bit ago after the Winter Classic, not liking some of the picks and ones left out, i agree the US Jrs are looking great (as well as Canada). World Jrs comes to US soil next yr in Buffalo so hopefully the crowd isnt as Canadian :tonqe:. Once CA started the rally and the crowd got insane US kids had no chance!

on a side note hopefully someday we'll see some BG players on the World Jrs in the future.

Insane gold medal game tonight. Several soft goals, both goalies getting pulled, and Canada coming back in the last few minutes made for some exciting hockey. It's awesome to see the US win gold after making early exits the last few years. That and I just hate to see Canada win gold year after year.

They made the smart move in putting Campbell back in tonight, we were just getting bad bounces.
this is also a case in point study and prof that any team in a hockey game, that tries to sit on lead, gets it taken away. Keep the gas on and play they way were to win.
USA
This team should represent us in the Olympics...the NHLers should play them for the spot if they are not scared because they have a good drop in team.
