World Juniors Start Tomorrow in Buffalo

[tullamore]

This is a great hockey tournament. No one pays attention to it in the States, I have gone to it twice in 1996 when it was in Boston and in 2003 when it was in Halifax. There should be some good betting opportunities, starting tomorrow.

Curious what my Canadian friends think off their team. Solid group of forwards but no standouts like last year with Eberle and Hall gone. I am looking forward to seeing Sean Couturier and Sweden's Adam Larsson play as they good be future Bruins thanks to the Leafs.


I'll have some plays tomorrow.

Merry Christmas All.

Good betting opportunities on juniors? This would be 16-18 year olds right?

Yes wally, but don't get too excited. They are a few years older than the boys you are used to fondling.............I mean coaching.

16-20 years old is the age group, but you wont find many 16 year olds. Many players have already been drafted. Schenn has already played in the NHL.

Team USA are the favourites.

And hockey is suppose to be Canada's sport.

That is more embarrassing than anything an American hockey team could inflict on Team Canada.

Fiver no one in the US cares about the World Cup of Baseball, players refused to play in it. All of Canada cares about the World Jrs.


Has a Canadian player ever refused to play in the World Jrs after being selected?

I think Brett Hull was cut and than chose to play for USA.

That Canadian baseball team was essentially career minor leaguers. There is no comparison.

I doubt Canada will win the gold medal this year, but we should win the bronze.

Did you have a good time when you were out here in Halifax Tully?

No older than 20. It's rare for Canada to have a 20 year old on it's roster. Usually it's for 18/19 year olds unless you are a Crosby type of player who played when he was 15.
