Could have easily been one more goal for Russia, with the camera angles it was too close to call.
Good game, anyway. Good pressure by Canada at times but quite sloppy play at key times. Russia scored a few very sweet goals, their 2nd in particular.
See you next year.

Very deceiving stats. Canadians shoot from any angle. They always come out strong in the first 15 minutes and then slow down if other team can handle the intensity. They had 22 shots in the 1-st. After that it was pretty much over. On other hand, Russian pass way too much and look for more finesse opportunities.
In last WJ Canada was up by 4 goals and managed to lose. They ran out of gas and choked big time.
