Kudo's to the Russians for not giving up but what the heck, It was like they{canadians} fell asleep, no defence, no goaltending and no offence, maybe they forgot it's a 60 minute game. I feel sorry for those guys, its a lot of pressure on them, one of my buddies said he hasn't seen a collapse like that since 911. Maybe a little extreme but it seems we as Canadians put our "game" as more of a priority than other countries do....next year guys, next year.

Ohhhh that stings. I'm still PROUD of those kids though. They play their hearts out for this Country and this has got to hurt them more. Way to go guys!!!!

That was a rough 3rd period to watch. We dominated the rest of the game, shame they fell apart in the third. Good job of the russians picking that up though, I guess we know why a big chunk of the NHL's russian now :P

whats funny is the TSN announcers were saying the NHL was starting to shy away from getting players from Russia for there was a noticeable lack of interest in the sport over the last few years there. Supposedly their domestic league (KHL?) is in a lot of trouble and up until last year they didn't even have a junior program (i dunno what they meant by that because hasn't Russia been in the World Juniors every year since forever?!?!? - maybe they mean a OHL/WHL like program?)


Gotta hand it to them though - they didn't play dirty and turned up the skill in the 3rd.

It really did seem to me that the Russians were way more interested in playing hockey and controlling the puck while the Canadians seemed to focus on trying to line up big hits. Some beautiful moves by the Russians

And yet the scoring leader is a canadian, with a couple of swedes somewhere in the mix.

they just played like the Flames. Up 3 nothing and fell apart in the third.
