You know I am soooo flippin tired of these Gold medal game losses in the last three years. 2002 we had two 2-goal leads and we lost 5-4. Last year we have a 2-1 lead going into the 3rd. Now we have a 3-1 lead into the third and then Crosby and Getzlaf both miss chances that would have made it 4-1 which would have solidified a gold medal. I'm sorry too say but Fleury played horrible in that 3rd period. It was a disgrace. This was one of Canada's best teams ever and they cough it up like that in the end. It was disgusting. Mario Durocher should have told his boys that a two goal lead is the most dangerous lead to have in Hockey. IF we are the best in the world at Hockey, and no one says we aren't, then how in the hell do we give up 3 unanswered goals. We should have closed the deal off early in the 3rd. Canada is staring to getr very good at crying on the blueline after every Jr. tourney, they are good at that I'll say. I think thisd whole "Relax its just a game" thing has caught up to some people. There was absolutely no urgency to get a fourth goal. They should have been gunning for that. Anyways, we have got to stop losing these Jr. tourneys all of the time in choking fashion. What if this type of thing happens in the World Cup in September? It will be a one game elimination as well. What if Brodeur banks it off of Pronger in a Gold Medal game.
