Well I think I can speak for most of the males in our great country of Canada when I say it is good to have hockey back!! Well of course it's not the NHL and that is still sad, but what is not so sad is that these Junior players put forth a lot of effort and they are really fun to watch. I just finished watching Canada play their second exhibition game tonight against the Swiss, they should stick to making Chocolate. We beat them 5-0 and it should have been a lot worse.
Another joy of watching the World Juniors is the simple fact that you get to watch the future of the game, Sydney Crosby, take the ice and basically put on a clinic for all to see. This kid is amazing to watch. He's freaking 17, making him the youngest player ever to score for Canada in international play when he scored our first goal against Finland on Monday in a 6-0 victory.
So we went 2-0 in exhibition, with 6 periods of shut out hockey, 11 goals in 2 games...plus you get to watch Sydney play. Why wouldn't you watch the World Juniors when they start Christmas day? I know that Brewer and I will be! I don't think even a new X-Box would keep my from watching because I AM CANADIAN! And we will win! Click the title for the schedule!

hooray for the world juniors! i look forward to some good ol' fashion billingsbrewer time--we'll watch hockey, play video games, eat junk food, and later, we'll snuggle! (a little Elf humour, there) and then we'll watch Anchorman! And Napoleon Dynamite! And...and...hooray!
Better watch out for East Timor's Ice Hockey team. I hear they are a terror on ice. Canada better say their prayers.
You're watching Anchorman AND Napolean Dynamite in Fredericton? Aw...I wish I weren't so antisocial sometimes.
Wow...I'd almost forgotten about hockey. But on the up-side, I'm way more interested in baseball than I normally would be!
I think that's an up-side...
*sigh*
a moment of silence for the NHL, please...
