Since we have a few scattered World Junior Hockey threads but not one specific one to focus on the tournament itself, I thought it was best that to start one.  
 
I wasn't able to catch the game today but I see that Canada clobbered Kazakhstan 15-0.. http://www.ebrandon.ca/messagethread.aspx?cat_id=13&message_id=98114  
Keith Aulie managed to chip in with his first assist.  
 
For anyone that saw the game, how did the Kazaks handle the Twin Towers?  
 
Games like this (and Germany's 9-0 win over the same team) bring out two questions  
 
- Are there one or two too many teams in the A pool? One might argue that we're limiting other countries from developing their hockey programs if they aren't allowed a chance to play with elite hockey countries... and someone else might suggest that any matchup that produces a 15-0 game isn't great for the tournament.  
 
- at what point to you let up? Because Germany beat them 9-0, you have to at least top that with a potential tiebreaker in mind...
