We finished 3-1 in the preliminary round of the world junior hockey championship after disposing of Denmark 4-1. We're groomed to be disappointed with anything other than perfection in this tournament. Sweden went 4-0 to secure the bye so we've got a quarter-final game against Finland on Wednesday.
Not to look ahead or anything, but a victory against Finland would set up an exciting semi-final rematch against Sweden and a victory there could pit us against our continental rivals. And no, that wouldn't be Mexico.
