the World Junior Championships are awesome, maybe better than the NHL playoffs. The best young players in the world playing against each other. Basketball doesn't have it, baseball doesn't, football definitely doesn't have it. Anybody remember the year Russia's top line was Bure and Mogilny centered by Fedorov? You only get to see things like that at the WJC or the Olympics now that pros are playing.
Only unfortunate thing is that nobody cares about the WJC other than Canadians. Every time they hold it in Europe, even in hockey countries like Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, Russia, the games draw flies. In Canada in small cities like Halifax which host it it's the biggest thing ever.
It should be on ESPN 2 at least.
That story about the Flames being sold isn't there. Was the poster joking or what? I haven't heard anything about the Flames being sold.
