Congratulations to Russia

I would've rather been losing the game early than witness a crazy collapse like that of the Canadian junior team last night. Five goals in the third period after leading 3-0? Unheard of at this level. I thought it was a Saturday morning and I was watching a fun game of house league.
Still, good on the Russian kids and they were fully entitled to their spirited celebration after the game - a refreshing display of human emotion compared with the stern Soviet teams we used to see. Think 1972.
If this game had been played in Jersey or Vegas rumours would be swirling. Wonder if Janet Gretzky won big.
I can't stand to read or watch anything about the game, but for those who like staring at train wrecks, go to TSN.
