WingNutt 12 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) :UPDATES: USA -vs- Canada 0-0 2nd Period Staring Goaltenders USA- Jeremy Smith Canada- Steve Mason ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TSN pre-game Sweden beat Russia 2-1 in overtime in the first semifinal. The winner of the Canada-USA showdown will thus face the Swedes in the gold medal game. Sweden beat Canada 4-3 in the preliminary round. Russia will play the Canada-USA loser in the bronze medal game. In last year's semifinal, the Americans dominated most of the play and led 1-0 with 10 minutes to go. Canada came back to tie the score and then prevailed in a tense, seven round shootout. It was an all-time classic when it comes to shootouts. Dominated by players already in the NHL just a year later, it featured last-second poke-checks, corners getting picked, pucks dying on the goal line and, perhaps most memorably for Canadian fans, the unstoppable Jonathan Toews. According to international rules, shooters are not limited to one attempt if the shootout remains tied beyond the first round. Canadian coach Craig Hartsburg kept sending Toews out to shoot, and he kept on scoring until Canadian goaltender Carey Price was able to stop the Americans. Toews, however, is not on this year's Canadian team. In fact, the Americans have most of the offence with James vanRiemsdyk, Colin Wilson, and Jordan Schroeder all among the tournament scoring leaders. Price is not here, either, and Hartsburg has chosen Steve Mason to start in goal against the Americans. Mason had an uneven game against Finland in the quarterfinals, winning 4-2 but allowing two soft goals. "We feel Steve will get the job done for us," Hartsburg said. "We trust him." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History The world junior championship began as an invitational tournament in 1974, and was sanctioned by the International Ice Hockey Federation three years later. Medal history Russia: 26 (12 gold, nine silver, five bronze) Canada: 23 (13 gold, six silver, four bronze) Czech Republic: 13 (two gold, five silver, six bronze) Finland: 13 (two gold, four silver, seven bronze)) Sweden: 11 (one gold, six silver, four bronze) United States: 5 (one gold, one silver, three bronze) Switzerland: 1 (bronze) Slovakia: 1 (bronze) Edited January 4, 2008 by WingNutt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
