Re: World Juniors 2020
A real bad day for the Canadian Juniors, a 6 - 0 thumping at the hands of the Soviets and they likely lose their best forward to injury in the process. Ouch. This is the worst defeat in modern tournament history for the Canadians. However, there is always hope, check this out:
In 1976, Canada was represented by the Sherbrooke Castors, champions of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League a year earlier. The format was simple: a five-team round-robin tournament. Canada opened with a win over Finland. Two days later the country suffered what is still its worst defeat ever, a 17-1 loss at the hands of Sweden in which it was outshot 79-14. Canada rebounded to beat the Czech Republic, but it fell in its finale to the Soviet Union. The Canadians and the Czechs finished with identical 2-2 records, but Canada’s win in the head-to-head match-up gave it the tiebreaker, and with it, the silver medal.
So, shake it off, move on, a medal is still absolutely achievable!
