Diary of Samuel Ross: World Juniors edition

[Brrbisbrr 207]

I'm going to be honest here, I didn't know I was even eligible for the world juniors.  I know I am still relatively young and the workhorse for a VHL team, but I never imagined I would get another shot at gold.  Last time, team USA (or honestly team Ottawa) were underdogs.  We played well, gave it our all, but fell short.  This time we are one of the top teams.  Wolski and I make an elite tandem for the world juniors.  Everyone on this team can hit, pass and score.  USA is getting a lot of press, but will it hold up?  In my first few games it has been rather rough.  I have had plenty of work with multiple games of 40 plus saves.  It’s taking this team a little longer to gel than I had hoped, but we’re still winning.  I’m also getting some good press.  We’re heading into the next round in 3rd place.  Fine with me, less pressure on us. Hopefully some of the other guys will take us lightly.  I sure wouldn’t.
