sportstar1212 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 It kicks off tomorrow in Toronto and Montreal, so I figured we should start 'er up.Hopefully Canada snaps its 5 year gold medal drought. Funnily enough, I was there when they won their last gold medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I've got high hopes for this team. I like Zach Fucale in net, and the talent up front is downright lethal. The defence won't have to be great, only solid, and they should be able to do that. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG89 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Going to Montreal during the tournament, and living in the general Toronto area, I've been looking to go to a game where I can watch Canada play. Unfortunately, tickets costs as much, if not more than NHL tickets at the same establishments.Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 2012 when it was in Alberta, I caught a few games in Edmonton, and it wasn't more than 40$ for nice centre ice tickets for the four of us.

The floor was about the same, but maybe the ceiling for good tickets didn't go as high as NHL games. I saw Switzerland-Germany for $4 per ticket with my son and brother-in-law a few rows behind the player benches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar74 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Can't wait to see how Canada do.. and the other teams should be very interesting, especially USA and Russia.. and what with defending champs Finland maybe repeating? but will see how it goes.. and I hope Canada wake up and win gold finally after 5 years ... ahh..

And the gold medal game was $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 How come junior hockey in Quebec is virtually dead? I mean, obviously the Q still exists, it's just that they can hardly send anyone with a French name to the NHL anymore. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I watched Denmark play the US before the tournament and now this game against the Russians and I have to say, Ehlers looks like a really good prospect for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until we play the U.S. or Finland to gauge our chances. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Switzerland-Russia has turned into a :censored:show rather quickly. 5-0 game, and a Swiss player had to be brought off on a stretcher after a questionable hit, and it's been a parade to the box since. The third won't be pretty, I'm calling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGLES78 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Canada will dominate the less important games and then choke in the more important games like they have since 2009 (unless they pull their **** together this year hoping they do).Russia will win something because of goaltending and offense (their defense is lackluster). Czech's and Finland I have no idea what's going on with those two.Denmark,Germany,Switzerland and Slovakia are just happy to be there.Sweden will dominate if they continue at the pace they're going.USA are going gold or bust.

If they play any bit like they did against Slovakia and Germany, they're the clear favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The US looks like a team playing their second game in less than 24 hours but those fauxbacks always look great. ... and that shot by Milano.

IceCap Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Canada looked strong against the Americans. Outskated them most of the game. This team has what it takes to end the drought.
