2025 World Junior Championship Highlights: Canada vs Finland

[@YalzaAlaiat]

That goal from Price to Pinelli was excellent. This year, it will be difficult for us Americans to repeat. In the quarters, at least, we won't have to visit our friends in the North.

[@eugeneeugene7024]

Guy turned his back on that penalty. Hate that call. Let the puck go rather than turn your back to protect it.

[@dylananderson1867]

Yeah, he even know the hit was coming. Unfortunately I've seen this move actually coached in youth hockey. Sure, you might draw a penalty, but is it worth the risk of never walking again?

[@hampusjohansson-s7o]

The responsibility is on the guy hitting. Not the guy getting hit. Not to forget to mention how out of context your comment is. The battle for the puck is between the 2 guys around the boards, a 3rd guy coming in with full speed and hitting from behind. You shouldn't need to expect a hit like that.

[@jeremyrichards8098]

Let’s look at same basic facts here: Dave Cameron is 1 for 3 at the WJC for Canada. He’s part of the most infamous collapse in WJC history when Canada, who, in the gold medal game, was up 3-0 heading into the third period, in the end, lost 5-3 to Russia. Then, he, somehow, found a way to squeak by Finland in the 2022 WJC gold medal final, where Mason McTavish pulled off both an undisciplined give away, and the save of the century. Fast forward to last year, and we have this same coach playing Fraser Minten, the same Fraser Minten who had an eye popping 48 points in 43 games in the WHL, playing 22 minutes in an elimination game over the 1st overall pick, Macklin Celebrini, the same Celebrini who is a point per game this year in the NHL, and who won the Hobey Baker as the top NCAA hockey player in his draft year. In the end, Canada was eliminated in the quarter finals last year, losing 3-2 to Czechia, failing to even medal. Taking a look at this year’s roster construction, the fact that Tanner Howe not only made the team, but was considered a lock is mystifying. This is the same Tanner Howe he had 1 assist in 7 games for Canada at the U-18s in ’23 and zero points in 4 games at the U-18s in ’22. The same Tanner Howe who, playing alongside Connor Bedard in Bedard’s draft year, produced 85 points, 36 goals in 67 games; to 77 points, 28 goals in 68 games in his draft year, without Bedard; to 16 points in 16 games this year, two years removed from playing on the coattails of Bedard. Even in Canada’s 7-1 blowout win over the Swiss a few days ago, according to Dave Cameron, the one thing he, Dave Cameron, took away from that game was Tanner Howe’s backchecking. Yes, backchecking is important, but maybe Cowan’s hat trick should have been the highlight. The issue is not Tanner Howe per se. It’s more about why does Team Canada keep coming back to this guy as a coach? This is the same coach who would rather have Fraser Minten out in the third period, over a phenom like Macklin Celebrini, in an elimination game, like last year against Czechia. This is the same coach that had Gavin McKenna penciled in as the 13th forward against the Swiss and Sweden. Had it not been for some injury and maintenance calls to forwards up the roster, McKenna might still be the 13th forward. So the question begs: why Cameron specifically? His coaching record is dismal at the NHL level. Coached 2 seasons for Ottawa in 2015 and 2016; finished 4th in the Atlantic, got bounced in the 1st round against Montreal. Didn’t even qualify for the playoffs the next year. His teams have never won anything at the OHL level. Dave Cameron the coach, at both the junior level and the professional level, are substandard. But what about Dave Cameron the player? Well, there’s not much going on there either. He played on some of the worst NHL rosters in NHL history. The 81-82 Colorado Rockies finished dead last in the league, where Cameron scored 23 points in 66 games, good for 10th in team scoring on arguably the worst team in NHL history. The 82-83 Devils finished 3rd last in the NHL that year. Cameron scored 9 points in 35 games, good enough for 20th in team scoring. The 83-84 Devils finished 2nd last in the NHL, but not for a lack of effort. No. They were bested only by the most infamous tank job in NHL history, pulled off by the Pittsburgh Penguins who, for their efforts, were rewarded with Mario Lemieux. Cameron scored 21 points in 67 games in his final NHL season, good enough for 12th in team scoring. So, when you sum in all up, Cameron is a career plug, both at the coaching and player level, it seems. This explains the fetishization of plugs like Fraser Minten, playing over Macklin Celebrini, and his inclination towards hard working back checkers like Tanner Howe, over clearly more talented and deserving players like Michael Misa, or Carter Yakemchuk or Beckett Sennecke. Gavin McKenna, the most talented player on Team Canada, who lead Canada to gold at the U-18s in 24’, scoring a hat trick in the gold medal game against the United States, will likely get the Celebrini treatment this year as well. Cameron cannot seem to accept that his brand of hard-working grit, and hard-working back checkers, in favor of rolling a 4 line offensive juggernaut, in favor of the outdated and outmoded concept of the top 6, bottom 6 roster construction does not apply to a country like Team Canada and the sheer offensive prowess they could exert over its opponents. In short, this is why his teams, at all levels, reflected in his own career as a short-lived journeyman plugger, who played for some of the worst NHL teams in NHL history, are why Canada has and continues to fail and there is nothing to suggest that this won't continue to be the case.

It’s open again, but there are to manu teams in the Liiga, which isn’t an issue in a sense except it means that each of Liigas’ teams juniors are guaranteed spot in the highest junior league. And since juniors isn’t filled with foreign players as Liiga -> the junior Liiga isn’t hard enough to develop. It should be split into higher and lower junior liiga to guarantee ”hard” games all season.

[@pauljmorton]

@@teemup9247 It might be open again, but it's such a recent change that it hasn't had time to have any effect yet. K-Espoo was promoted by official decision, noyt by authentic promotion. Only the actual most recent Mestis champion should have the opportunity to get promoted, and that should've been IPK, not K-Espoo. If the reopening of Liiga will have a rejuvenating effect on the level of hockey, it's going to take 5 to 10 to 15 years to be noticeable.
