Happy World Juniors Day, Bitches. Wake Up With "USA Hockey Is Do Or Die"

It’s here! It’s finally here! December 26th in the year of our lord 2019 and the 2020 World Juniors are finally here. It’s Christmas Day part deux for hockey fans all across the globe as the best hockey tournament of the year, every year, gets underway.

The Russians and the Czechs get things going at 9 this morning. Same with Switzerland and Kazakhstan if for some bizarre reason you intend on watching that game. But the real action gets going today at 1pm when we have the two biggest games of the tournament going down at the same time. A couple of border wars to really get this year's tournament going. Finland vs Sweden in group A at 1pm, and USA vs Canada in group B at 1pm. The fact that both of these games are being played at the same time on the opening day of the tournament is blasphemy, but it's still going to be a gongshow of a day either way. So make sure you've got the fridge stocked with cold ones, a great spot on the couch picked out, and prepared to go America all over everyone's ass. All games will be broadcasted on NHL Network here in the United States. Pretty sure you Canucks get the games on every single channel in Canada. And then I’ll be tweeting out links to game streams for all the games as I come across on them on Twitter (make sure to follow me @BarstoolJordie).

In case you still need to prepare yourself for the tournament, here’s my full preview blog from last week. And most importantly, here are the future odds for the tournament as we get ourselves going here. Courtesy of OddsShark.

Now let’s run it back.
