Question for American fans.... I know Canada has 75 % of the fans i believe TSN said and USA 25% but i would of thought throughout the whole tournament there would be more USA fans then canada with it being hosted in Buffalo, NY.... whats up with more canada fans going to all games in the tournament and not Americans

We don't give a **** about hockey. It's the simple truth. 99.9% of the country doesn't even know what the World Junior Championship is. We don't obsess over hockey like Canada. Football is our hockey but football is a solely American sport.

3-0 lead 20 mins away from going to Gold Medal game against Canada... LETS GO BOYS

 

[OmniSens]

Not looking too good for the Americans

 

[daydreamin]

Wanna bet?

Sure...

 

[Scotianhab]

Great period by the Canadians. 1 More to go!

 

[Luuuuuuu]

3-0 at the end of the 2nd. 20 more minutes boys and it is off for the Gold.

I am probably the only American who is not watching the Orange Bowl...again my Alma Mater is in the game and I'm watching this pulling for the Canucks

as someone that knows a lot of sabres season ticket holders who i believe had first dibs at tickets, they sold their tickets to make a quick buck and/or aren't as interested in junior hockey as canadians seem to be. just my guess.

campbell really is keeping this as close as it is so far.

sour grapes.....

 

[Sizemore24*]

And Canada could use Duchene and Hall

give me some Evander Kane

 

[TheStranger]

So, how badly will the Russians get beat?

 

[slimkay]

Americans don't care about the WJC. It's a fact. The Orange Bowl is on. Orange Bowl > WJC.

Orange Bowl >>> WJC IMO.

Andrew Luck >>>>> any Canadian prospect.

Watching this ATM. Relying on this thread for updates.

They really should have limited Canadian attendance.... to 50%

 

[Blehst*]

and we don't have hall, segwin, skinner, gormley.

 

[dm1371]

I was expecting it to be a closer game.

It isn't over yet

 

[crimsonking]

Good 2nd period. Just need to keep playing the way we have, and not let up at all in the third.

Yet 24 hours ago, fans on here were stating how the US was taking over in hockey as well.

QFT.

 

[Rocko604]

Have the both teams who got the bye in the knockout round ever lost in the semi-final?

1999

 

[SoCalSharkzFan]

I am so sick of kyle Palmieri. He is a terrible team player, just please get him off the ice!

 

[McGuires Corndog]

USA could reaaaaaally use Derek Stepan...

Canada couldn't use Hall, Duchene, Seguin or Kane...

 

[Canucks LB]

Campbell vs canada basically

Yeah we have heard it many times over thanks for repeating it....sheesh

20 mins to their 10th straight trip to the gold medal game

 

[Wilma]

Didn't play overly well at the end of the 2nd...so let's hope they come out flying again to start the 3rd!

Great period before that. How they didn't make it at least 4 - 0 I don't know...
