was thinking the same thing this morning........6-5 or 5-4 is incoming in that Czech- Slovak game.

Does anyone know if the full games will be available on the IIHF youtube for us americans without NHLN? On ESPN+ the only game I see for tomorrow is FIN v CAN.

That’s why i hate when they play in Europe. Keep it in Canada where people go to the games and the majority of viewers can watch the games live and not at 6am.

Yes i’m being selfish but I don’t care.

Exactly and some of us have to work so we don't get to watch the games live. I don't watch hockey re runs. We've been lucky the last 10 years I know, Europe is due for a few tournaments of course. The iihf know the cash cow is in Canada at least.

Yup.. first two goalies taken in draft are about to be lit up. Curious how both teams look as I'm cheering for both. Czechs tomorrow though. Good luck against Finland. Remember... The second they score on you... Expect 50 posts about a goalie controversy.lol

From what i’m hearing they have sold a lot of tickets. You get to see the games at prime time every year. It’s your turn to f*** up the sleep!

 

[FinPanda]

I¨m happy that the tournament is finally back in Europe. The games are in the middle of the night for us when they are in Canada.. at least u got early morning.

 

[Ace]

How many goalie interference calls will it take for Canada this year?

 

[Joe Zanussi]

I am soooo f***ing ready. Six AM can’t get here quick enough. Enjoy, Folks!!

One nice thing, my dogs are up at 5:00 a.m. local time so this will just reinforce getting up early for the holiday week.

Lol, no shit eh? Although we are already ahead of that.......we already have a goalie controversy. It's always intrigue in the Canadian camp.

My favourite time of the year! Christmas, U20 Worlds and New Year!!!!

Stomach is full of food, chocolate and alcohol, im ready!!! Even though that i don't believe that Finland can win any medals, im in, every year. Best tournament in hockey!!

In the words of legendary finnish gangster Tom "Tomppa" Sjöberg:
"sometimes we win, sometimes we lose and this time we lost"

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

[Bounces R Way]

As much as I enjoy the WJC GDTs I dunno if I give a shit to give up at 6AM just to follow along.
Might just have to catch the replay.

ooooo another addition to the big book of American excuses. Excited to see which they'll land on for this tourney.
