Congratulations to everyone in the WJHC for developing complete and total immunity to the COVID virus! Can’t help but feel like another international tournament was supposed to happen soon as well but hey I’m sure the IIHF wouldn’t discriminate like that, and definitely not twice in a row, right? Right? Anyway go hockey! Let’s see how long it plays until it gets canceled!

Unofficial case numbers on the 24th in Alberta indicate around a 23% positivity rate. Games will be at 50% capacity and fans aren't allowed to eat or drink in their seats. I'd like to see omicron get around those measures... game on!

Any tips for online streams? The Finnish TV is going to be poo poo for this. edit: Finnish TV broadcast is actually surprisingly good. The team? You need to be more convincing against Germany in the 3rd to have a chance against the big dogs. StoryTime fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Dec 26, 2021 |

Finland won with higher overall skill, but Germany impressed me more with solid play in all periods. They can get any team that skates in with their pants down.

I thought that was some kind of mistake by TSN, but it turns out there really is a player in this tournament named Ivan Ivan Ivan. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=227324

While on a penalty kill for a hold, one Czech player's legs got caught up with a Canadian player entering the zone, causing a tripping penalty, and when the play stopped, a Czech player cross-checked a Canadian player in the head after the whistle, so 2 Czech players went to the box and the Canadians had about 2:50 of 5-on-3 which they scored on twice.

Whenever you see a Bourque on Team Canada, it’s safe to assume they’ll never be an NHLer

Absolutely trucking a dude in the head after the puck is gone somehow not a 5 minute major. Great job.

Canada strategy this tourney. Before the game draw a name out of a hat. That player gets a hat trick

They are still playing a tournament and preparing for the elimination stage, you can't expect them to spend game time doing literally nothing.

The funny loving thing is that if the other world junior megabastards get COVIDed out and they don't, it will be the most one-sided gold medal game. Tbh, best possible option is like only the two shittiest teams are COVID free for the final

Classless of 2023 draft eligible Connor Bedard to upstage what should have been the Shane Wright hype tourney. 16-year old Michkov also owns but his khl contract situation is frightening

I'm just waiting to see if Slovakia caught it, and if they did, they could've already passed it on to Sweden too (though unlikely because SVK-USA and SVK-SWE were on back-to-back days). Another Canada-Finland final for the ages. Zat fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Dec 29, 2021 |
