Honestly, this entire tournament has been kind of meh for me so far. Seen lots of sloppy play from every team but then again I'm not used to watching juniors and am not sure how much of the missed passes are normal.

USA has looked okay. Wasn't a fan of today's game vs Finland. As for Canada, they just don't look like a team. I don't think the players are trying to hotdog and do it all themselves, but there is just no real good chemistry and it often looks like whoever has the puck thinks they are in this thing alone.

Out of curiosity, am I being too harsh on the tourny this year? Or does it seem like its being played at a lower level than in years past to others as well?

That was an epic failure coaching job from that schmuck cameron. For me, eastern coward has been the worst Canada player. From his useless, easily stoppable weak wristers at the net, to his extended shifts, to his last-man back backchecks - he sticks out as the bad wheel on that line but the coach stays the course like he's fishing for a job with the leafs.

Last night, he takes the most useless penalty of all time - in a 2-1 game with less than 10 minutes left in the game and Canada gets scored on. What does the coach do? Puts him right back out there.

Canada deserves to lose. You just can't win with a moron at the helm.
