World Junior Hockey: Canada vs. Russia
No medal for Canada. The first time since 2001 that a Canadian team finished out of the top 3.
The game was fairly high scoring ending regulation time in a 5 - 5 tie. Russia scored the winning goal at 1:35 of overtime.
Although this was a great, all-stops-out game for both teams, the series overall was a lacklustre performance for the Canadians. I'm not sure if this is an anomaly or if it's indicative of deeper problems in Hockey Canada. Blame it on coaching, poor goalies, bad officiating or whatever, the fact remains there better be some post-battlefield soul searching going on.

World Junior Hockey Semi-finals: Canada vs. the U.S.
After beating Russia 2 - 1 and gaining a bye into the semi-finals, Canada came apart in the game against the U.S. losing 5 - 1. It would be easy to blame Subban who was pulled in the second period after letting in 4 goals, but to be honest he was only part of the problem
The truth is the Americans simply outplayed the Canadians. They controlled the puck, their goalie was at the top of his game and is the best in the tournament and they skated rings around the Canadians. Canada started off weak and never improved. You could see the holes in the Canadian game in earlier match ups, but they became chasms today.
Canada will play for the bronze against either Sweden or Russia.

Centre of Stillness
We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.
