Topic: Canadian Thoughts

Would just like to offer my condolences to all Canadian junior hockey fans on the results of the weekend.
As they always say better luck next year.

Re: Canadian Thoughts

Europe swept the medals from North America this year, which is something few of us ever would have had nightmares about. Having grown up as a player and a fan, I find it's a hard pill to swallow. The one thing that seems to stand out amongst the winners VS the losers is work ethic. The Fins, Swedes, and Russians wanted it more, and on the ice they simply outworked our Canadian and US teams.

One thing is a bit puzzling. Norway, Sweden, and Finland are neighbors, yet Norway rarely puts a team on the ice as good as the other two do. Hmmmm ... ?
