In Canada nothing has a bigger audience in all of sports. Of course we're a Hockey Nation but the World Junior is of particular interest up here.

It's all been well and good but we're down to this tonight:

Canada wins to set up match-up with confident Russians in gold-medal game at world juniors 2015

Scott Stinson | January 4, 2015 | Last Updated: Jan 4 10:59 PM ET

" The Russians have reason to feel confident. They beat an American team that forced Canada to win in a thriller on New Year’s Eve, and against Sweden they were clinically effective, bottling up a team that had scored 24 goals in its five games and holding them to only just one late marker when the game was out of hand — and only 13 shots on goal through two periods, when the outcome was still in doubt. "

The Russian Junior Hockey Teams have beaten the Canadians in the medal round in four straight years.

This Team Canada looks stronger than I've seen in the last five years. This game should be one to watch as the Russians are a team that has gotten better every game. The Russians have every reason to be confident but I expect Canada feels that way as well.

This is an important hockey game for Canada and it will receive a huge TV audience.

All signs point to another Canada-Russia classic in world junior hockey championship finale

If the NHL decides not to send players to the 2016 Winter Olympics, I would imagine a lot of the players in this tournament could be Olympians.

Players may be drawn from other Pro Leagues like the American Hockey League unless the NHL stops that. Most of the most excellent Juniors have been drafted by NHL teams.


Canada opened fast and scored two goals 2:28 into the 1st period. Team Canada is playing like a team possessed. :duel: Ready to get it on !

The score could be up two more if it wasn't for the Russian Goalie and just getting better than hitting the post.

Guiness started a Championship Game thread in the regular forum.

CANADA WINS GOLD !

This game was as good as it gets excitement wise.

The Final Score:

CANADA 5 - Russia 4.

A FIVE YEAR ... Gold Medal Drought is OVER!!!
