It's that time of year again, as we cheer on our nation's junior team against the rest of the world's respective junior representatives for the
participating nations.

This year's tournament will be taking place in Finland.

Team Canada has already won two of their pre-tournament (exhibition) games -- a 7-I drubbing of Belarus, and a 1-0 shutout win over Czech Republic.

Team Canada's top line consists of Mitch Marner- Dylan Strome-Lawton Crouse (injured - replaced by Jake Virtanen).

Here is the TSN broadcast & complete schedule of games.  Note that Canada's first game comes Boxing Day (Dec. 26) against Auston Matthews & Team USA.

I don't think Finland's officially announced their roster yet, but it seems like Laine's still with them.

I've been trying to watch this game through TSNs streaming service, but keeps giving me an error. Illegally it is!

Embrace the Dark Side.

1-1 going into the 1st intermission. Nylander with a secondary assist on Sweden's PP goal to tie the game.

Nylander is wearing #21. Pretty much their go-to guy for everything, including 4th forward on PP.
Marner is wearing #16. He's still getting acquainted with IIHF penalties, and picked up his 3rd penalty of the pre-tourney, leading to the tying goal.
Dermott is wearing #24. #1D on PP.

Timashov is wearing #17; on the 2nd PP unit; he was first back to give Virtanen the business after he ran over the Swedish goalie.
 
I assume anyone watching today's game will never again speak of Canada not selling out every single game when we host?  My beer league game last night had a bigger crowd. 
 
A Swedish player just made a ridiculous move to keep the puck in at the blueline on a Swedish powerplay, and I thought man these Swedes are skilled.

Announcer said it was Timashov. 8)

It was a mid-air spinning off the wall pass to keep the play alive on the PP. It was sweet.

Matt Barzal's touch pass to Strome for the 2-1 lead was sweet too.
 
I think we can remove "weak" and "undersized" from the list of words used to describe Nylander. Can probably replace them with "awesome" and "amazing" and "god I love him".
