Still our game
January 4th, 2005
It’s gold for Canada in the world junior hockey championship tournament.
Canada snapped some bad history to beat Russia 6-1 for the title. This is our first junior gold since 1997, capping off a great hockey year for Canada that includes a World Cup. Earlier today, the Czechs beat defending champs USA in overtime for the Bronze.
With the NHL showing no signs of resolving the labour dispute anytime soon, it’s even more obvious that the junior teams are playing incredibly exciting hockey. And the international elements of the game add even more flavour. Who else thinks we should just scrap the NHL and start a new league with the junior players?

Yeh, and with a salary cap this time!
At least you guys get the broadcast of the world juniors. We get bupcase down here.
Yup, and we get ‘Trailer Park Boys’, ‘Kath and Kim’, and for those alternately inclined, ‘Queer as Folk’; ain’t life grand?
Geoff, they’ve been on ESPN. At least they were when I was watching ESPN in Belize last week — I assume they were in the US broadcast, too.
