babinator77 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 i know the tournament officially gets underway on boxing day but i thought for those of us who follow it we might want to start discussing teams/players to watch (and i didn't see an existing thread). any teams other than canada worth mentioning? has anyone taken in any games yet? here's the link to tsn's site: tsn world juniors here's to another great tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Pat Quinn, they still have some work to do in key areas of their game,but of course,will come together and will be ready on boxing day. Will be a great opportunity to see John Tavares and other up & coming future NHL stars. Also for me,seeing my home-town future NHL'ER CHRIS DI DOMENICO ( from our SJ SEA-DOGS ) making the cut was cool. Good luck to him & the team. It's the drive for 5 baby, GO CANADA GOOOOOOOOO.

Kubby31 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yes,you are correct.Evander kane should be in their line-up tomorrow nights game vs Slovakia. Even with their convincing 7-3 win yesterday against Finland,Quinn was not really impressed, but remain confindent they will come together on Dec.26th. With Cody Hodgson's goal & 2 assist yesterday,he opened a few eyes,watch out for him to have a good tornament. Let's see what comes from the young ladds vs Slovakia tomorrow,should be good.

GO CANADA GO... Hodgson is a very good, smart player. My son played against his team in OMHA (minor hockey). Hodgson went through with Markham Waxers on the same team as Steve Stamkos. The team was something else. One year (at least) they never lost a game. I think there were a total of four players on that team that were drafted by NHL clubs 2008. As we know, Stamkos (#1) and Hodgson (#10) were both in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteenIsThaFuture Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Never a big fan of this tournament, would it kill the IIHF to make the medal round into series after the round-robin?? For such a huge and critical talent/player analysis event, you'd think they would want to get as much as they can out of it, I know the IIHF doesn't care about scouting but the whole idea of 1 and done especially in hockey is stupid.

Ellie_mtl Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I just got back from the game vs. Slovakia. Great game! Tavares is insane, love that guy. Also P.K Subban was cool.
