I wish my book offered Moneylines on this tournament but unfortunately only spreads and totals. I definitely think Russia -0.5 at +600 is worth a shot in a game that could go either way. Like I mentioned before, let's just say Canada is up 5-3 with 2 minutes or so left, Russia will still pull their goalie because its an elimination game so your +2.5 would be in jeopardy. Tonight's spread sort of scares me for Russia backers.
Good luck everyone.Comment -
WOW! The Swedes just came from 2 down to tie it in the 3rd period. This game might be headed to OT!Comment -
What does Russian world Junior Hockey team have to do with players that died in a plane crash???? They are not comrades..They are from the same country.That's it..Originally posted by bobbyk1133
They are not in the same league, same age....it wasn't a Canadian missile that crashed the plane or a Canadian pilot in a Canadian plane...
Am I missing something???Comment -
One more thing..if Canada is favored by 2.5..and total is 6.5...
That means they are planning on Russia scoring only 2 goals....
I don't think so...
One of these is wrong..either Canada -2.5 or Over 6.5...
I think there will be a lot of Canada hitting..maybe Russians retaliating, both teams frustrated...
there will be a lot of powerplays IMO...I think Over is the better play..Comment -
You must not be watching this tournament very closely. They mention it almost every game RUS plays and have done numerous specials on it with the current team.Originally posted by Boxing ChampWhat does Russian world Junior Hockey team have to do with players that died in a plane crash????

I didn't know that...I didn't see these games...Originally posted by bobbyk1133Comment -
Two members from last year's WJC team were on the plane and many of the current staff/roster have connections to the tragedy in some way.
Devoting their efforts
The Russians have devoted their efforts in Calgary to the memory of those who perished in the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash last September. Among the 37 players, coaches and staff killed were two members, forward Danill Sobchenko and defenceman Yuri Urychev, from Russian coach Valeri Bragin’s gold-medal winning team from last year.
There also were two players, Pavel Snurnitsyn and Maksim Shuvalov, who likely would have been part of this Russian junior team.

Canada outplaying Russia badly so far. Russians got the breaks in the first and Canada did not. Canada wins 5-3 I say.Comment -

I'd like to personally thank the media for overhyping and overrating this CAN team. I waited all tourny for this game to cash in on these odds.

Knew Canada didn't have a chance at gold with crap goaltending and lack of size. Favouritism when selecting players cost us again this year.Comment -
Not to use an excuse for CAN, but most of their best eligible skilled players are in the NHL. Without them they had to rely too heavily on Huberdeau and Strome. Scheifele has been a big disappointment...and like you said their goaltending is weak. Also after Gormley and Hamilton the dropoff on D is pretty significant.Originally posted by OTLComment -
Who else is lovin this Canook Collapse in the Juniors !!!!!!
What is that....3 straight years now ...Canada CHOKES.......
How does that song go.......

This is true, but Canada chose to suit up a lot of older less talented players in favour of better younger guys just because it was the last year they'd be eligible to play in the tourny. They need to get back to the winning at all costs mentality instead about worrying about hurting peoples feelings.Originally posted by bobbyk1133Comment -
If it wasn't for Huberdeau's 10 min misconduct I'd be tempted to do a live bet on CAN +3.5. I think they'll want to finish with some pride in front of the home crowd.

Most epic comeback in history? Highly doubtful with their goaltending.
