So Canada just finished beating Finland 3-0 in their opening match of the World Juniors. It was a great game to watch, with Canada totally dominating the Finns physically. Even without Jordan Tootoo, Canada just totally rolled of ther the Finnish players. By the end of the game, it was obvious that the Finns were utterly worn out. Had it not been for some great saves by their goalie, the score would be MUCH higher. Especially since Canada outshot them something like 13-4 in the third period. Good on Marc Andre Fleury for scoring a shut out in the first outing of this tournament. While he didn't face too many shots, he did make some big saves. It's even sweeter in that this Finnish team beat the US 4-1 in an exhibition round game.
Bring on Russia!
I'd check into who Canada plays next, but the stupid IIHF website is moving slower than molasses in winter. Plus, because no one actually reads this, there's not really a need for me to inform anyone.
