Wow...what a crazy game. Russia with 3 in a row to bring it to 5-4 at the end 2. Russia will be on a full 2 minute PP to start the 3rd period.

That's a brutal group for the USA once Canada wins this.

That's probably true (even if Russia wins) but at the same time, I'm reasonably sure the US can still take at least 3rd in that group. And as the Russians (and even the Slovaks) proved, finishing 3rd in your group can still mean big things in the finals. Sure that probably means getting one of Russia, Finland (on home ice) or Canada in the knockout and...wait this initially started as an optimistic post.

Also - Go Russia!
 
Re: 2015 World Junior Championships

I guess they can win one every six years...


Great game and a lot of fun to watch with no real dog in the fight.

Canada got a way with a few holds in the last 5 minutes or so, but Russia goat away with an interference with about 12 to go. Glad they let them play although the advantage to letting them play goes to the team protecting a lead.

Hopefully the US can put a better TEAM next year.

Go Russia.

Hate to root for them, but the alternative is far, FAR worse,

In addition, it's a lot of fun to watch Canadian fans gnash their teeth and wail when they lose these tourneys. :D

Yeah, but I was close to pulling out the AED. :eek: Great finish to a great tournament.

To paraphrase Ferraro, Canada vs Russia is never boring!

Good post-mortem by Chris Dilks today: http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/201...r-team-usa-at-the-world-juniors-a-post-mortem

Going all crystal ball, here is how I envision next year's roster:

FORWARDS
Brock Boeser
Jeremy Bracco
Kyle Connor
Ryan Donato
Christian Dvorak
Jordan Greenway
Dylan Larkin
Ryan MacInnis
Auston Matthews
Sonny Milano
Nick Schmaltz
Alex Tuch
Colin White

DEFENSEMEN
Louie Belpedio
Brandon Carlo
Ryan Collins
Jack Dougherty
Noah Hanafin
Johnathan MacLeod
Zach Werenski

GOALTENDERS
Brandon Halverson
Alex Nedeljkovic
Luke Opilka

1996s
Belpedio
Carlo
Collins
Connor
Donato
Dougherty
Dvorak
Halverson
Larkin
MacInnis
MacLeod
Milano
Nedeljkovic
Schmaltz
Tuch

1997s
Boeser
Bracco
Greenway
Hanafin
Matthews
Opilka
Werenski
White


NCAA (projected)
Belpedio
Boeser
Bracco
Collins
Connor
Donato
Dougherty
Greenway
Hanafin
Larkin
MacLeod
Opilka
Schmaltz
Tuch
Werenski

Major Junior (Projected)

Older team with many returning players and more size up front (Greenway, Boeser, MacInnis) as well as replenished skill (Bracco, Connor, Dvorak) to complement the returning forwards. 4 returning defensemen, anchored by Hanafin and Werenski. Halverson should emerge as the #1 goalie.

Not a fan of Donato's game at all...Was unimpressive when I saw him with the U-18 squad and with the South Shore Kings this year. Doesn't stand out for a second round pick at all.
 
Re: 2015 World Junior Championships

Chad Krys probably has a good chance to make it since the 96 defense is not good.
