Who knows anything about the World Jr. Hockey Championship game this afternoon?

[stevenash]

Besides the juice is ridiculous.

185 Russia (U-20) pk -140 o6 -110
186 Sweden (U-20) pk +120 u6 -110

[caboman]

I am liking the Russians a lot. They beat a Canadian team that were overwhelming faves in the tournament, and the Swedes just squeaked by in their SF match up. Taking Russia all day long here.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

holy shite! Russia looks nice @ PK. These boys can skate and score goals in bunches. Swedes are going down by at least 2 goals.

[k13]

Sweden already beat russia. Sweden beat Canada in pre's 5-3

I think Sweden will win gold and the Canada-Finland game will be over 6.5 goals.

[robzilla]

Id take the Russians in this one. They were down 3 or 4 goals in the championship last year, and they came back to destroy Canada.

[Jaug]

Sweden and the over here. Sweden played a great finnish defense and still managed 45+ sog. Thinking 7-3 final swe.

[xxx]

sweds have not won this for a long time, they will be extra motivated. It will be good for the tournement if someone other than canada or russia wins.

[r1kkie]

I think Russia will win. Sweden beat them earlyer in the tournament, now its Russia's time.
But I cant bet against my fellow swedes so I think I will stay away from this game... GO SWEDEN!

[Boxing Champ]

Who said Fins have a good defense???
Canada beat em 7-1 in the first round...

[Swedmoney]

canada wins big!! Hope sweden wins

[bruins35]

russia has better team and they will win gold for teamates that died in crash . russia is lock i wil bet 10 units on them

The Russians were favoured to win the tournament, NOT the Canadians.

Russians have all to lose, Sweden has nothing to lose, they are already winners...
Go Sweden!

[gohabsgo]

Canada was favorite by 2 goals against russia...

I believe that RUS has a great chance to win this. Even though SWE outshot FIN in their last game most of the shots came from positions far out in the zone and there weren't enough of players crashing the net for rebounds, which were given in excess by the Finnish goaltender. If we see a similar game tonight, which is likely, the Russians will win because they will get the quality chances and capitalize on these with their tremendous skill.

RUS (in regulation) +142
RUS (ML) -111

And finally, GO SWEDEN!!

[k13]

0-0 in OT crazy

Under was the play.
It was juiced big.

[k13]

Sweden wins 1-0 in OT.

In last years finals it was Team USA that beat Canada last year in Buffalo, not Russia.

Canada was favorite by 2 goals against russia...

Yes Canada was favoured by two goals in the Semi final vs Russia.

Russia was the pre tournament favourite.

Russia, not Canada.

[mathdotcom]

bullshit plommer
I remember seeing Canada -200 to win the tournament on a couple sites. Not to say I agree with it.

Canada had a horseshit team this year, I almost spit out my coffee when I saw -200.

Wait... what?

USA beat Canada in Saskatoon in 2010

Russia beat Canada in Buffalo in 2011

and...

Canada was the pre tournament favorite... they were on home ice. My book had Canada -120 and Russia & USA were both +300.

I'm going by what I remember from 5Dimes. They definitely had Russia favoured to win the tourney before it started.

You are correct.

For whatever reason I had it in my head that because it was played in Buffalo it was the Americans that won last year. Somehow my frazzled brain got the years mixed up. I am getting old.

My bad.

welcome back you degenerate

Thanks.

FWIW - I never looked at any other sites but I remember seeing Russia favoured pre tourney at 5Dimes.

I thought it was strange, thats why I remember it.

Am I being punked or something?

Fitting title for this thread. Seems as though some know absolutely nothing about the World Jrs.

[betplom]

I blame years of marijuana use as the reason for my failing memory.

2003 -2011 is one big year as far as I'm concerned.

[doogie24]

Canada had a horseshit team this year

Can't help but wonder if you would have said that if they didn't fall asleep for 2 periods against Russia and ended up winning Gold. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

They were hindered by a lack of available stars who are currently in the NHL, but that's the same story every year for them. This team had just as good of a chance to win gold as years past, they just failed to execute, just like in 2010 and 2011.

haha no worries, thats a legitimate excuse in my books.

[doogie24]

So be it, you definitely called it.

I just think with the depth they have available, they always have a legitimate chance. While other countries are forced to round out the bottom of the lineup with a little less talent, Canada is always strong from top to bottom. Goaltending and a lack of "Game Breakers" in the last few years has really hurt them in key times.
