At Least We Have the World Jrs. During Break

Re: At Least We Have the World Jrs. During Break

First off thanks Viz for all the great links and updates you post. You're amazing! I love the WJC's and the fact that it falls during the Christmas break. The quality of play always amazes me.

Second, the WJC's are a High, Holy Holiday in Canada and are all but unknown in the states. TSN's coverage of the tourney is first rate. I love their delayed video archive. You can watch every game that they cover whenever you like and the quality of the stream is excellent. I've watched the first two Canadian pre tourney games. Interesting that Team Canada only has one NCAA player and the US has 15.

Lastly, the USA Hockey website blows! OMG, is the water boy updating it on his smoke breaks? Do they not have any money?

Enjoy the tourney everyone!

I especially like how you have to download an Excel file to get USNTDP stats. Site is legit.

Easily one of the worst websites.

That's your hard earned money paid in membership fees put to work. Come on now, everyone knows USA Hockey is nothing but a Good Ole Boys club. They are a marketing machine, that's all.

But hey, you do get a fancy little newsletter every week

Chris Peters posting on The United States of Hockey is doing a far better job of reporting than USA Hockey.

The WJC is like a Christmas present for all college hockey fans

PS--thanks for the kind words MagnessMan

Just after the 28 min mark begin discuusing team captain, Jason Zucker, and Etem and Tinordi.

No live blog tonight, rink doesn't have internet

I'm impressed by your knowledge of the game and how you keep up with not only the Pios but everything else in the hockey universe. Do you ever come to Denver for games?

Looking forward to getting a look at the Swedish team tonight.

You two should get a room or something...

I too appreciate the updates Vizoroo

And I agree, Chris Peters does an outstanding job (despite being a Blackhawks fan)

Minnesota Wild prospects with three of the five goals. Not to mention, three Wild prospects wearing the "C" in this tournament - Zucker (USA), Grandlund (Finland), and Larsson (Sweden).

Future is looking bright for Wild fans
