WJC Right Around The Corner

As you may know, the 2011 World Junior Championships are right around the corner. If anyone knows us then you know how excited we are for it.

This is (one of the main) reason(s) that we pay so much for our cable. Some people just don't understand.


This year the WJC is all about the US and their defense of the gold. They are without many key components of last season's team because of the NHL.

Players such as John Carlson, who is with the Washington Capitals and Derek Stepan who is with the New York Rangers will not be returning to the WJC USA Team.

This is Canada's chance to take the gold. We are divided as always in this house and it won't be any easier when Macke comes to town for a week. It will be a bloodbath here.

Like normal.


Anyway, here are some articles from NHL.com that were really interesting to us about this topic.

- Chris Kreider had a phenomenal 2010 and he just hopes that he can continue that good luck into the new year.

- Here is the lineup of the US Team. A lot of the players are newbies but the ones that are returning are a talented bunch.

- A center from Team Sweden claims that the US is their toughest competitor, not Canada. Link from Darren Dreger's blog.
