Really amazing Canada is still holding on to the lead against Olympic silver medalist Germany, despite the latter's clear superiority in population, industry and the power play percentage. For how long can the plucky Canucks withstand?
#WorldJuniors
Canada is up 2-0! Will they call this Wunder auf Eis? They better! #WunderAufEis #WorldJuniors
It's 3-0! Canada might emerge as the feel-good story of the tournament, a real proof that hockey is truly for everyone.
To fully appreciate what Canada is doing today, consider the following:
* There are exactly 0 hockey players living on 80% of Canada's territory
* Canada is home to BOTH Nickelback and Justin Bieber
* Canada once destroyed Christmas forever by removing Donald Trump from it
Also, the military museum in Ottawa is truly awesome and you should visit. It contains 100% less glorious glorification of glory than the equivalent US and Russian establishments and 100% more self-awareness, informativeness and realization of what hell war is.
You're welcome.

You have to understand that Russia doesn't have much to go on when it comes to major successes. The space race, yes, but they are now as concerned with promoting Moon landing conspiracy theories as glorifying their own achievements.
And then, there is burning envy of America...
America's cultural and economic impact on the rest of the world is immense. Even Russians eat burgers, wear jeans and listen to rock music. Russian movies are invariably pale imitations of Hollywood (even while decrying the latter's "pseudocultural decadence")...
Russian sports have to rely on state-sponsored doping programs to even stay in the same strata with Americans.
All Russia has is the military and that one big victory (over its erstwhile ally, but whatevs) to brandish over the world. And brandish they will.

Just noticed team USA has a player named Jack Drury in the lineup, so I went and googled him, and... yep.
Seriously, is there a sport outside of fox hunting that is more nepotistic, exclusive and aristocratic than hockey?
Everyone is someone's son. Unreal...
And the NHL is even proud of this fact.
"Our sport is a tight-knit monochromatic circle where your admittance is guided by bloodlines and pedigree... Oh, and check out our marketing slogan: Hockey Is For Everyone! Nice, huh?"

Once again, it's not to say that legacy players are not good. Of course they are.
The point is, THIS IS WHY THEY ARE GOOD.
In hockey, legacy players have an enormous advantage. Much more so than in other sports. It's a huge problem that hockey doesn't recognize (& even embraces).

IT'S GO TIME! Tune into @NHLNetwork now! 🇺🇸

#USAWJC | #WorldJuniors
@NHLNetwork Midway through the first and no score to report. Both teams have killed off their respective penalties.

#USAWJC | #WorldJuniors
@NHLNetwork After one, it remains a scoreless contest. The U.S. will start period two on the power play.

Some good chances for #TeamUSA in the first and this big pad save from Spencer Knight!

#CatalanEU
Last Tuesday, a political trial against members of the previous @govern, against social leaders of the main civil organizations of #Catalonia and against the former president of the @parlamentcat began in Spain #CatalanEU
The simple fact that this trial could take place brings #ShametoSpain and, therefore, to the entire #EuropeanUnion, whose main institutions have chosen to remain silent, when facing such a disgraceful situation where democracy is at stake #CatalanEU

@DaveAlvord164 has asked me to look at an article about the latest Canadian trade controversy.

brianlilley.com/what-trudeau-d…
Brian Lilley writes about being made aware of an interview featured in a news program produced by the state-run Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
First, some background.

Before final negotiations at the G7, the President was asked during an interview about a sunset clause in the renegotiated deal with Canada. (14:20)
