Favorite time of the year, World Junior Championships! See tomorrow's superstars today!
USA favored to contend for the Gold behind Jack Eichel, the future #2 pick in the 2015 NHL draft. #2 may not sounds impressive, but he's the highest regarded #2 since Malkin went #2 to Ovechkin. The reason is because the guy going #1, Connor McDavid, is the most hyped prospect since Crosby. He's also in the tournament, playing for Canada.
USA vs defending champs Finland starts at 2 today on NHL network!
So how did it go?
USA squeaked by the defending champs in a shootout after a 1-1 tie through regulation and OT. Eichel looked like a stud out there although he tried to do too much on his own. Hopefully the team will settle down and put some pucks in the net Sunday vs an easier opponent.
Canada smoked Slovakia 8-0. McDavid was somehow invisible that game.
Russia needed a late goal to force OT vs Denmark. Russia eventually won in a shootout.
Sweden won their game easily, forgot who they played.
More great games today!
