World Juniors Hockey Championships 2011: Aftermath – Should Canada Be Concerned?


Not a lot new here, admittedly - thought I'd share to ensure this quick take perspective heard.

Canada’s third period collapse against Russia in the gold medal game is now not so ancient history. Executing three valiant comebacks in three consecutive elimination games, the Russians have to be commended for showing the heart and determination their international squads have recently sorely lacked all too often at various levels of play – from the juniors to the Olympics.

Team Canada played a near perfect game against a strong USA team in the semi-finals...

No. And truthfully, not really worth asking.

They had a bad period, the sky is not falling.

Congrats to the Russian team for the strong comeback, hope you enjoy the metals.

Hasn't this dead horse been beaten enough in the WJC section?

It really doesn't need to be brought over here too.

Canada should definitely be concerned that Jeff Skinner unexpectedly made the NHL when he could have been helping the world junior team instead.

Agreed on both accounts.

I actually stated as much in the intro here in OP.

It was, admittedly, more for the common hockey fan.

Likely not appropriate for most readers here...I'll give myself an a$$-kickin' for posting here!

It was a 3rd period collapse in one game, hardly something to make you worried about the state of a program in general. NHL teams collapse in the 3rd period of games all the time, it happens. Also, as the article indicates, guys like Duchene, Hall, Skinner, Seguin, Kane, etc. were only not playing because they were way too good.

The article itself basically says "no, Canada should not be worried," and I agree.
