So far so good for Team Canada. Winning their first 2 games, beating Denmark 14-0 and the Swiss 3-2 last night. Their next game is tomorrow night against the Tcheque Republic. By winning their first 2 games they automatically qualified for the Semi Finals.
 
Yah, they need to clean a few things upon on special teams.
O for 5 on PP and allowed two on PK against the Swiss.
The easy games are over.
Czechs and Russians not easy teams.
Just one goal difference in their game last night.
 
Ream Canada falls asleep in 3rd to give Russia the win.
Looks like they get Finland in first elimination game.
 
It was disappointing but I suppose its to be expected.
They said fast high scoring offence, with mediocre D and Goaltending
before it started. Well I don't think we were any faster than most
outside of Denmark game not much offence, Our D and goal tending is what looked best.

Also unlike 20 years ago when it was normally Canada and Russia playing for gold,
Other countries have advanced their hockey programs and produce very good teams
Being Jr's window is tight and many teams can win, in one and done playoffs it can be tough.

We are spoiled and expect gold, anything less is a disappointment.
 
I thought I would cheer for the Swiss, with Canada being out,
and it such a great story, what not. Odds are not good but
no one thought they would be here either.
