Team Canada wasn't the better team today. Eberle hid the fact that he gave up the puck a million times with 3 goals (1 in the SO). And Subban, very uncharacteristic. Everyone looked sluggish and slower than the Russians, who played an extra game.
However, WOW. It really pays off to watch right until the end, because I almost broke my plate when they scored the tying goal. As another poster said, it's easy to fall for the WJC because of the heart and soul that go into every game- they all have something to prove and are playing to make it to the NHL, or for the love of the game. Games are also faster and much more physical than your normal NHL game. Definitely looking forward to the finals against Sweden, as they are one tough team to beat.
