That's not a problem exclusive to Buffalo...a lot of this is the result of Hockey Canada and their price-gouging of attendees. http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/jrhockey-buzzing-the-net/world-junior-2015--empty-seats-in-montreal-reflection-that-hockey-canada--iihf-overshot-their-target-012622485.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/world-junior-tournament-montreal-1.3919781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDPritch Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 6 hours ago, MafiaMan said: Because, much like everything else nowadays, this revolves around $$$ -- and the IIHF sees green every time this tournament is held in Canada. It's a mandate now -- the tournament is held every other year in Canada. And in certain off-years, it's held in Buffalo, which may as well be in Canada. Or a decade ago (?) when it was in GF which may as well be in Canada...Any way that can happen again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for the Ralph, MTS, USA Hockey, and Hockey Canada to work together to host the tournament in Grand Forks and Winnipeg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved what one of the Russians were quoted about Comtois (before the tourney), comparing him to a soccer player rather than a hockey player. He is too good of a talent to do what he is doing, and even the Canadian announcers were a little tongue tied on a couple of his antics. I think you will see a different Comtois in the quarters, and it will be interesting to see how focused they are. If the US gets both Hughes brothers going, and stop the D Hughes from trying to do too much, it will be a great Canada- US game for the gold.

I have watched every game and as much as I am blown away by his skating and vision, it seems as though he is constantly making mistakes (some which has cost the team big time).

I thought the first shouldn't be a penalty shot as it didn't take away the scoring chance. The guy still has a breakaway after the first trip. The second trip was the one that ended up taking away the scoring chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
