It's literally a best-on-best U20 tournament. There are snubs at every level.

I don't ever recall seeing any Blackhawks player shed a tear after losing in the playoffs. I don't recall seeing players crying after getting bounced in the quarter or semi finals at the Olympics.

The WJCs are fever dreams with tons of raw emotion.

Because NHL players aren’t 17
 
Moore rewarded for a really strong 200 foot tournament. Fair to wonder what the ultimate upside is, but I’d be very surprised if he’s not an nhl player in some capacity

High floor player. His speed and defensive responsibility means he’ll likely make it. It’s just too bad the offense is likely not there.

God Leonard would be a perfect fit in our prospect pool

If we had dropped from 3 in that lottery I’d have been pounding the table for him. Players like him don’t grow on trees

Glad things turned out the way they did though (obviously)

USA wins and/or Canada does badly = world juniors matter a lot
USA loses and/or Canada wins = world what now?

And frozen four is always awesome unless Michigan or Notre Dame win.

You don’t have a point.
That they are 17 and emotionally immature in no way makes it the best tournament.
To me (just my humble opine) this event or the frozen 4 fail when compared to the NHL playoffs.

These are not teams they are kids thrown together from a variety of teams. The 4 nations will be a bunch of adults thrown together from a variety of teams.
Nothing beats the heart (and blood) of the NHL playoffs. Just reading the lists of players having surgery a week or so after the cup finals ends is all you need to know. They play through the pain for a chance to have their names engraved on a hunk of tin. … the most prestigious hunk of tin in all of sport.
 
World Juniors happen every season and its the exact same 4 teams that contend for gold. Each countries top players usually arent there. Kinda meaningless to me tbh. Fun to watch though and its the best chance that diehard prospect fans get to see them all in one place

You're allowed to be wrong about the world juniors. It's okay.

Pretending your opinion is correct and any who disagree are wrong?
Or
Admitting you’re ok with you being wrong about world juniors?

Don't be upset Space umpire. It's okay to be wrong about the WJC. No one is mad at you.
 
Rooting for the Czechs to get the bronze. Would be nice seeing another Hawks prospect get a medal (Felcman).
