Are they showing the world juniors online again this year? Sorry didn't know where else to ask. I paid the 15 for the tournament last year. Would again this year since we only pay for INTERNET.

As far as I know TSN is not streaming live games this year (for free or pay).

It does however appear they will make the games available on demand for free afterwards:

I wonder if they'll talk about Johnny Hockey at all

[sureLoss]

LOL Zamboni broke down again... half an hour delay.

[Delthefunky]

Biiiit of a goat show going on.. Then the zamboni driver slips and falls into a giant puddle.

[Poe969]

At least we will get to see gillies play! They een mentioned that he was a flames draft pick!

[Table 5]

Any idea if the US games are available to watch on tv in the US anywhere? I haven't heard one peep of a mention of it here anywhere, so my guess is no.

[Scoreface]

Haha. I wouldn't have believed the latest zamboni malfunction unless Sureloss reported it. They should just ship them in from here! Haha

[lifetimefan]

I just tuned in. How has Gillies looked?

[Delthefunky]

He's looked good. Finns have hit 2 posts, one on a penalty shot. First goal he had a pretty good screen and the 2nd was a 5 on 3, not much chance.

Did any of the goats appear on the ice?

[lifetimefan]

I kinda like how Hodge's B-team panel is calling out Lowe as the only constant during the ongoing fiasco in Edmonton.

[dissentowner]

Thought Gillies was excellent, no chance at all on any Finn goal

Most annoying commercial this year is easily cocky British goalie kid

The "I dream in British" Telus commercial is worse.

[madmike]

Gillies looked really good. The team in front of him looked pretty awful though. Not sure the US is going to go too far this year.

I've never wanted to punch an old woman in the face before, but I'd make an exception for "hashtag frugal".

[lifetimefan]

Another rough start for Canada, and Sweden is taking advantage of it.

After listening to him this game it may not be that Ferraro is a Canucks homer he just loves everything about the Swedes and with the Sisters, Edler they give him plenty of opportunity to gush over routine plays made by Swedes.

Canada hasn't been great offensively to start but the way Ferraro praises the Swedes for every little thing you would expect they were dominating and not taking weak shots from the perimeter.
