More World Jrs

Just to note that 15-0 is a tournament record for goals and the 8 powerplay goals by Canada was a record for Canada. As for player records, John Tavares tied Eric Lindros and Jeff Carter for total goals with 12.

Now a bit about the semi against Russia tonight. We were playing our own hockey game during the first 2 periods but we caught the most important part of the game. I must admit when there were about 30 seconds to go I thought Canada was done, and I was mostly thinking no one would score in overtime, but I had all the faith in the world that Canada (mostly John Tavares) would get it done (like Johnny T got it done against the USA). And look at that, they did. Canada plays a tough opponent on Monday night in Sweden, should be a great game and as shown by today just cause Canada looks down and out doesn't mean they are.

One more quick note:
5.3 seconds..way to take it to the wire
