[Butch26]

I love Raddysh . Have him 22 last year

 

[David Suzuki]

Once again Montreal embarrasses Canada with an abysmal attendance..

Montreal is a Habs town not so much a hockey town.

but regardless:

Don't charge nhl level prices for junior level quality of hockey.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Trust me Finland has every chance again this year.

Maybe maybe not.
Of course this situation is a bit similar than 2014 Määttä and Barkov didn't get released.
And Mäenalanen Teräväinen Lehkonen line was on fire and Ristolainen was a boss in blue-line and Saros was a king in net.

But unfortunately Veini isn't new Juuse Saros.
Lets see what this team can do as i said i'll give them chance to prove me wrong.

Eh Montreal seems to be the only place in Canada that has a hard time with that for this tournament.

 

[lakai17]

we want 3

 

[Kamiccolo]

Don't like Bean so far. Strome has been good, so has Barzal.

I mean I wouldn't pay 100+ dollars to watch junior players either.

This is TSN's tournament... People that watch RDS only don't really care for it. Also, as others have said, Montreal is a habs only city not hockeytown Canada.

If thats the thought process then IIHF should walk away from them. This is only an exhibition game of course, but two years ago, the Canadian games were nowhere near sold out. Was ridiculous.

Neither would I. I'm surprised anybody pays these ridiculous prices.

Good for you? A lot of people would but clearly not in Montreal. You also make the fact it's junior hockey a negative when really it's a positive the more mistakes in the game make it the most exciting hockey all year....which is why it got so popular which is why they can charge so much for it.

Yup, and so far he has two turnovers and had one of the laziest puck retrievals that he got beat to. Lucky that guy turned it over or it was a guy in front by himself thanks to his play.

 

[Melacez]

Lauzon plays so hard... Love it!!

 

[Steven1562]

Neither would I. I'm surprised anybody pays these ridiculous prices.

I would if the game actually meant something like a semi final or gold medal game. Who would pay for a pre tournament game.

 

[TLEH]

anyone know where an American can snag a view.

 

[Budddy]

I see Gord Miller stills like to yak incessantly while the play is going on...just tell us the play by play please...

 

[Get North]

Canada is getting a little too cute with the puck.
