Submitted. Taking a chance on a write-in. Information conflicted. GL all end enjoy the show!
Well, I'm in. For what it's worth. Looking forward to watching the games this year.
I've also been going to hfboards. Some good info on the European teams but it's been less useful this year than usual. Not trying to give this site a cheap plug, but dobberprospects has had much better stuff than you'll find there. Hfboards helps trying to get a better understanding of team lines and notes from the preliminary games. But don't expect to get any info on who's gonna be starting for Sweden and russia. Nothing on that front.
Steve kournianos has had a nice amount of stuff over at sportingnews.
I thought it would be a slam dunk to go with knight and askarov in net but now I realize it's not simple at all. I think askarov ends the tourney in Russia's net, but how long does it take before he gets the starting job?
I think there's more variety this year than most. I don't expect too many rosters to be all that similar. I don't think there are too many surprise players this year, but there are so many players that are "must pick" guys that many won't get picked. I know I'm gonna have to leave guys I want off my roster, it's just a matter of who at this point.
Also this is one of the most wide open years we've seen in a while. The top 5 teams have legitimate claims to winning it. Plus you've got the group of death this year. Changes things a lot since the usual powerhouses won't have their 10-1 games to drive up the stats.
Should be loads of fun. And since the tournament is in Europe, I can actually watch some games this year instead of them starting at 2 in the morning for me!!!
First time entrant! Pumped
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
Looking forward to the pool. Just doing some research right now.
Roster sent. Looking forward to this. Best hockey of the year.
I think we're headed for a USA-Russia final. The two best goalie prospects of the past decade. USA pulls it off.
Sweden over Canada in the bronze medal game.
I feel like this is gonna be the lowest scoring world juniors we've seen in a while. The usual powers don't have any easy games (even Germany isn't a cakewalk this year). Sweden and Finland have the easy games, and I don't think Finland's offense will blow anyone out, while Sweden's forwards are not on the level of Canada/USA/Russia. So no Canada 13 Kazakhstan 1 this year to drive up the stats.
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
