I've seen like two Q games on TV, and didn't mind it, there's good players that come out of the Q, enjoy Junior hockey and stop the bitching for the sake of bitching. Its not like you're making the W or the O better than the Q if it was the case.

Except that history has shown the O and the W are better than the Q, but the reasoning behind this specific argument is faulty.

Anyway, the Sun does not need to encourage Ken Thrower's singing career....

That was a great rush by Foucault and Bubnick.

Tri-City came out hard... Had ten shots in the first eight minutes. Couldn't beat Jones. The Amerks must be wondering just what it will take to score right about now.

3-0 Hitmen. Sylvester late goal in the first. Hmm looks like some more bad goaltending too again for TC.

WOW. Neither American goalie can make a save. It wouldn't surprise me to see Owsley back in there for the 2nd. Good job by the Hitmen, they held the fort in that period. Gave up lots of shots but most of them were from the outside.

It has to be unbelievably disheartening to have so much difficulty beating Jones, only to see your own goalie giving up weak goals.

Hitmen are just squeezing the Americans in this second period. They can't get anything going.

No goals for the Hitmen in the 2nd period but they dominated TC that period.

Why is the World Jr. team stacked with WHL/OHL players year in year out? Why does the Q team get throttled at the Memorial Cup every year? Hell, look at the Canada-Russia Challenge. The WHL and OHL run show every year at the Q struggles to win and often lose.

Within Jr. Hockey the Q is the weaker sister. What exactly is so hard to comprehend about that?

Whenever you need to take a bad penalty, Giffen Nyren is always there.

My god... FOUR blocks on that five on three, and another just after.

Hitmen PK has been unreal. That last penalty was a nice dive.

17/17 in the series, and we've killed our last 32 off. That is just ridiculous.
