Has anyone else been enjoying the World Juniors hockey tournament these past few days?

Latvia's win over Canada last night was unbelievable.

Later today, the US and Canada will decide who takes the #1 seed into the quarterfinals. Fun stuff!

I know hockey is a big thing in Latvia, so kudos to them. They almost beat Sweden in playoffs also. Looks like they are becoming a proper hockey country

Yes! Too bad they didn't make it to the semifinals, but they were absolutely punching above their weight.

The gold medal game was a lot of fun to watch, with team USA getting a comeback win in overtime to win their first-ever back-to-back gold medals at World Juniors. They're now looking ahead to hosting the tournament at home next year and going for the three-peat.
