Quick Recap of the WJC up to Finals

[Kisshan 17]

In this year's World Juniors, a great round robin led to very tight medal round matches. Team World shocks the audience by taking over Team Europe and they had advanced to the semifinals against Canada. But sadly, their miracle run was ended by frontrunner Team Canada who seemed to do the best in group stages and look like the favourite to take the whole championship home. Now that we covered that side of the bracket, we can talk about the semi-final match which involves Team Asia and Team USA. This very tight matchup ended in a 5-4 victoria for Team Asia who will now go on to face Team Canada in the finals.  In all honesty, with these two teams doing so insanely great, it is almost impossible to tell who is gonna really win it all. With players like Sergei Kovalev and Maxim Kovalchuk on the side of Asia. And players like Joseph McWolf and Chance Trepanier on Team Canada, both teams just seem very strong offensively. You can easily expect to see a tough battle in the scoring department but maybe also see both teams step up in the defensive categories of their gameplay. Only time will tell, but we are all eager to see who will take this season's WJC!
