    See what I mean? Players don't even know what a legal bodycheck is

    And I even agree with McGuire who has been fairly low key so far. Maybe someone took him aside before the tournament and told him to cut down on his asshole level.

    20th consecutive win for Canada in the tourney.

    Next stop: Sweden on Saturday afternoon.

    US plays Russia at the same time (2:00)

    It would seem Canada has done well in building this team from the goal-line out.

    TSN online has this thing with McGuire, McKenzie & Miller on favourite World Junior memories.

    My favourite is this one from Gord Miller from the tourney in North Dakota:

    http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/news_story/?ID=225527&hubname=world_jrs

    Thousands of Canadian fans from Manitoba and Saskatchewan drove down for the games, but one night the highway was closed due to a snowstorm, meaning the fans could not return home. Local officials opened the domed football stadium, and nearly 5,000 fans spent the night there.

    The officials later reported two things: that the Canadians pitched in and cleaned up the next morning, leaving the stadium in immaculate condition, and that they sold more beer that night than they sold in an entire season of North Dakota football.

    I'm not sure which of those two things makes me prouder
    "

    That may be the quintessential Canadian anecdote.
