Sweden Vs Canada - World Jr Hockey Championships gold, here we go
Both are 5-0 in what has been a very entertaining tournament. Canada is looking for their 5th straight gold medal win, while the Swedes are looking for their first one since 1981.
Should be a great game. GO CANADA! |
Woohoo!
1-0 Canada in the first minute. :D |
Lets Go Canada!
|

Canada's got this shit. 3-1 fin.
|

|
Incredible game so far. Fierce end-to-end action.
Still 1-0 Canada, and I think Canada is outplaying them so far, but not by much. |

There's a link just to the right of the main picture that says: "Watch live now - Canada vs Sweden" After one period it's still Canada 1, Sweden 0. |
Where's Camokat to throw in some support? :)
|
Go Sweden !!!!
|
Another one for the good Canadian kids
|
Damn, that Swedish goalie deserves an academy award for overacting on that play.
Hedman should have got a penalty, he punched Esposito in the head after the play. It was obvious to all except the refs I guess. ..... Then.... BOOM: 2-0 CANADA!!!! |
That Esposito guy is great.
|
Thanks for the link, CDS. Go Canada :thumbsup
|
End of 2nd period, still 2-0.
Canada starts 3rd period on a power play, weeee. On a side note, I don't remember ever seeing so many broken sticks in a game like there've been in this one. Both teams are going all out, boards rattling, bodies flying. I love it. Canada just has to watch the penalties. |
Canada deserve every penalty they get, that's one thing you can be sure of!

You can bet money that Canada is always going to play rough, but not necessarily dirty. |

Another empty netter. Canada wins 5-1
Gold - Canada Silver- Sweden Bronze- Russia |

Canada got lucky. Should have been Russia-Sweden final.

Now tell me with a straight face that It wasn't a penalty on Esposito when he clearly stuck out his leg and tripped the Swedish goaltender, 1 minute later he scores 2-0. And to say Canada didn't play dirty is pretty blue-eye'd. That said, Sweden didn't fes up enough in special teams and Canada won fair and square though. Next year we will beat ya. Congrats. |
I know a lot of people call these jr players "kids" but the fact is they are the next wave of NHL players and in fact a lot of them are already on NHL teams or spoken for by them.
They may be 17-18 yr old kids but they're going to be bloody rich kids very soon. |

I have no doubt the Swedes will continue to be serious contenders, they only seem to get better and better. But to imply that Canada played dirty just isn't right. Our mandate has never been to play the game that way. There are exceptions of course, but there are exceptions in every country's teams, certain individuals who give a little more punishment than they should, lose their cool easier, etc. If anything Canada's hockey teams seem to push the players of other countries to become better, in order to some day... beat us. |

I suppose while we're disagreeing someone should say that it should have been Canada-Russia in the final, because of the two I'd say Russia was a tougher team to beat than Sweden. Conjecture aside, Canada now looks forward to getting a record 6th Jr Championship gold a year from now. Cheers. |

No worries, if there is one thing I've learned it's to never argue hockey with a Canadian LOL |

I looked at every replay TSN provided, and they showed several from different angles. He was going for the puck, not the goalie.
If anything your Hedman guy should have gotten a penatly for punching Esposito like he did, and your goaltender was in academy award mode for overacting and embellishing the hit. I've never seen a player's headgear come off so easily as the Swedish goaltender's did. Sneeze on him and there goes his headgear flying through the air. And yes, Canada has been beaten before. Just not as often as we've won, that's all. :D |

Every team deserved what they got, end of story. |
Wicked game!

And the second run over is clearly interferance, the goaltender is absolutley out of play going for the bench cause of a delayed penalty when Della Rovere runs him over from the side. That said, yep each team got what they deserved in the end, Canada had better special teams and were more agressive. |

And someone needs to take a staple gun to him and bolt on his headgear for him. It comes off way too easy. |
