What an emotional, exciting 5-0 win over the Russians for our World Junior Team. What I liked about this team was that there was no one superstar like Evegni Malkin on the Russians that Canada had to use as a crutch to get a win. Different players stepped up on different nights and they all contributed to winning. Most predicted with their inexperience, a gold medal was out of the question, some even suggested no medal was possible. But that heart & grit that defines Canadian hockey came up in spades and they deserved the victory. (I didn't forget about the goal Russia scored that was disallowed).

The only downside for me is that Leafs fans are going to be irritating me about their drafting of Canadian goalie Justin Pogge. Alright, alright, the Leafs get it right...for once!
