this coming world junior championships, anyone exited as iam?

Question

there's just one thing i should address, some analyst's are saying this is one of the weakest squads sent to represent canada in awhile. But how can that be? the two 17 yr olds playing there, one of whom is being touted as the next gretzky, the other being touted as a mix between bure and yzerman, and two of the most touted d-men to come from canada probably since chris pronger or scott niedermayer. And there names are Drew Doughty and Alex Pietrangelo. and what about the goalies Steve Mason and Jonathan Bernier. Bernier in my opinion, is better than Carey Price, or Justin Pogge.Anyways who do you think are the top 4 nations that could really challenge Canada, maybe even put them out?

I forgot to mention, Pietrangelo is not going, darnit, yet some guy named PK Subban is going, what a drag.

Answer 1

this tournament is the best tournament out there, i think it will be between Canada and Russia for the gold and maybe Czechs and Usa for Bronze

Answer 2

Yeah in my house it is an annual tradition, we sit around the Rec room full on turkey,ham and the fixins and watch every Canada game that we can see -time permitting,at least it won't be on at 3am this year as for the experts...Screw them, the team has a lot of depth a great D,Bernier will dominate and with Stamkos and Tavares looking to put on a show, good luck tothe rest of the teams.
Oh and I can't forget a great coaching staff...Go Hartsy!!

Death Taxes and Canada wins Gold!!!

Answer 3

Any junior team that doesn't even need Angelo Esposito has to be good. Wayne Simmons is my kind of hockey player. I think the Finns will give a good account of of themselves. They have had their team playing in a pro league in order to prepare. It's hard to expect much from the Russians after the way they played in the Super Series and the Defi Series. However maybe they will pull it together with the world championship on the line.

Answer 4

yes iam excited to see young men scoring for thier country
