Share some holiday cheer and some hockey on TV with your friends at the kitten ranch.
It’s a Christmas Miracle! Hockey that matters will be played in Canada today; the World Junior Championship gets underway for real in Edmonton. There’s three games to be played; Switzerland vs. Slovakia, Germany vs. Finland, Russia vs. USA; so you can plant yourself in front of the TV and watch live hockey all day today! It all begins at 2:00 p.m. ET. The games are broadcast on TSN 3 and TSN 5.
Naturally, we are most interested in the Finns and Russians since the Leafs have some hot prospects on both teams, especially to see if Topi Niemela comes through with a repeat performance from the warm-up game earlier this week.
Unfortunately, Nick Robertson isn’t there to play for Team USA, but if you want to relive some Team USA highlights, here’s a good set; every point scored by Auston Matthews in the 2016 World Juniors. Note the video is 11 minutes long because there’s that many points.
