FGM13 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 So it's that time of year again, as tomorrow marks the start of the 2014 IIHF World Juniors in Malmo, Sweden. Sweden is a powerhouse, the USA is gonna contend, Russia's gonna Russia it up and score a lot of goals, and my own Team Canada is kinda scaring me.Post predictions, updates and opinions on the World Juniors as the need arises, and Merry Christmas!

sportstar1212 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It'll be nice not having to get up at 4am for the games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Russia vs. Sweden Gold Medal. Canada is good, but I just need to see a few games to find out where they'll be at, USA isn't as great as last year. No Gaudreau, no Jones but Jon Gillies I will be cheering for, as he is a Flames prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I was watching the USA/Czech Republic game and I have to say I really enjoy watching the junior international competition. I usually only watch the NHL but I am slowly getting into other levels of hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Michal Plutnar is the luckiest man alive right now. He went after McDavid after firing the puck at the buzzer and knocked down the linesman in the process, and only got 2 for roughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Better to lose now then later.I appreciate the sense of humor in whoever is doing the music at the games when they use "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" theme for the shootout.

Breakwood Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 So the Czech Republic beat Canada the other day. Canada beat Germany on day 1. Now Germany is beating the Czechs in the 2nd period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah...so Germany won 3-0...the Czech Republic is now in last place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah...so Germany won 3-0...the Czech Republic is now in last place.Norwegians almost beat the Swiss. Would have been crazy to see Switzerland and the Czech Republic fight each other to dodge relegation.And Canada with the narrow win over the Slovaks. Perhaps it's a good thing to be challenged, get some experience, and build character. After all, our embarassments to the US in recent years have been largely due to the fact that we breezed through the round-robin and weren't prepared for real competition. So perhaps we'll catch the Yanks off-guard and show them why we're the best.Or our glaring holes will widen against an *actual* opponent and well get our asses handed to us. Either one.

BigBubba Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 For the first time in forever, we had a goalie steal one for us in a game that mattered. Suck it, US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Jeez, Russia goes out with a brawl at the end of the game. I wonder if they know that there's a bronze medal lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
