It's precompetition not preliminaries. Not until Dec 26. Still more cuts to be made on the team.

No worries. I can't wait either.

Yeh, problem with Canada isn't with their offense, its there defense and goaltending.

I'm looking forward to this year's World Juniors. Not only are the games going to be on at a reasonable time of day but for the first time since 2012 I can watch the games from my own couch AND not have a work schedule interfering with game times.
GO CANADA!

Maybe it wouldn't be if they'd bothered to look at the OHL for defence and goaltending. Mike DiPietro? Dylan Wells? Mattieu Henderson? Logan Stanley? Darren Raddysh? Connor Timmins?
There's lots of defence and goaltending in the OHL but politics...
Looks like you got one right, well someone got one right.
They went with a OHL majority last year and what did that get them, 6th place? yea I think it was 6th place.
There are 2 players from the Q this year, but one is from Alberta, the other from BC, what does that do to the stats ?
Good luck boys.

Well if we ever want to go 5 straight again, Hockey Canada knows where to find those good hard nose western boys at.
Brent Sutter and politics go hand in hand.
