The golden boys have lost their carats this year...
Canada and Russia, the juggernaughts of hockey; A history of legendary hockey and respectable rivalries lay deep within each countries jersey.
A much anticipated game etched lines and chips on the ice of the stadium where Russian and Canadian junior players hustled for a gold medal. The skates were kicking, the ice was cracking and the fans were in a state of athletic tranquility. Top tier junior hockey players battleing it out in the rink enevitably caused some post game controversy and a stir of emotions across Russian and Canadian hockey fans.
The final score 6-5 Russia.
Highly respectable hockey team, well deserved win. (Period)
Aside from a few judgements on Canada's goaltending, the game was action packed and both teams were playing competitive hockey.
Alot of Canadian fans are obviously upset due to the loss; but any form of hostility towards the Russian hockey team is greatly inappropriate. Canada still holds the most gold medals in hockey; yes we are known for our formidable hockey teams, but also you cannot expect to win a gold every single year it is highly unlikely. Canada's hockey team does have an insane reputation for being one of the best in the sport but USA, Russia, and Sweden are just a few other renowned good teams. Should Canadians be upset, well; not really, it definately sucks to not take home a gold medal. But we should be proud of other teams that have the opportunity to win it when we lose. After all a sport isnt a sport without competition and Canadians just have to learn to accept a loss sometimes. Partially due to the fact that we are so used to being successful in hockey it may make it hard to take a loss once in a while.
Mad respect to the Russian hockey team, Canada i`m still very proud of our team and kudos to a good game played by both countries!
