Canadian Juniors defeat US, make it into finals

4-1 final score.
Scorers were Shawn Matthias of the Belleville Bulls, Brad Marchand of the Halifax Mooseheads, Colton Gillies of the Saskatoon Blades and Calgary Hitmen defenceman Karl Alzner before American James vanRiemsdyk scored.
Canadian goaltender Steve Mason was a controversial choice to start over Jonathan Bernier, and he earned this win and was named player of the game. He's a Columbus Blue Jackets draft pick, and was traded to the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers by the London Knights prior to Friday’s game.

Canada is chasing a fourth straight gold medal in this tournament
finals vs. Sweden on Saturday.
Sweden beat Russia 2-1 in overtime in an earlier semifinal.
Most exciting about this is, having watched the oshawa generals play live numerous times, i've seen hotshot Tavares play, and he's been a vital member of this squad.
Go Canada.

Re: Canadian Juniors defeat US, make it into finals

gold medal round, canada winning 2-1, with seconds to go and the swedes' goalie pulled - Sweden evens it up.
feels like a Leafs game.
it is now OT.

we win, seconds into OT - and Russia wins over US for the bronze.
This was good hockey. Goalie Mason is tournie MVP.

Re: Canadian Juniors defeat US, make it into finals

Honestly, I think the MVP should have been Marchand. Sure, I might be biased as he's coming over to my Mooseheads on the 12th, but every game I saw he was simply amazing, really showed the world what Canadian Hockey's about, even with a less then stellar team compared to previous years.

I'm not saying mason didn't amaze all, but when a team does well, the goalie is so often the man who gets the glory.
