Canada 9, Germany 0
Yes, that score of 9 - 0 is correct. The Canadian team was that good. Yet, it was a good game to watch as the hockey moves, the scoring moves were dramatic and thrilling.
Watching these junior teams play must cause many to wonder why we need the National Hockey League for hockey entertainment. One can go to any junior hockey game or even to a more minor league to see some excellent playing.
Canada, at this tournament is in a class of its own. Along with many other hockey fans, I expect Canada to go all the way and win the championship. Although there is not much excitement in a game when one team is so powerful, one can still see some interesting action. The excitement of "he shoots, he scores" or some great passing, resulting in a goal can still be there.
What we are seeing at this tournament are the future hockey stars in action. We are seeing those individual players who will be signing million dollar contracts in the near future. Do hockey stars deserve the money that they are making? Yes as that is a reflection of the market place for hockey players? Do I believe that they are worthy of the kind of money that they receive, the answer is a very strong no!
The NHL is failing hockey fans. Tickets to games are very expensive. It looks like the NHL hockey season will not exist this year. Hockey fans of the past may never return as many are turning up at junior hockey games in greater numbers. Perhaps the final nails will be driven in 2005. The NHL may get buried!
