Heart, determination factors in Canada going undefeated against Russians
17 hours ago

VANCOUVER (CP) — Going undefeated in the junior hockey Super Series with Russia was a matter of heart and honour.

"It was just our heart," Stefan Legein said Sunday after Canada watched the Russians lose their composure and surrender five power-play goals in a 6-1 victory. The result left the Canadians with a 7-0-1 record in the series staged to mark the 35th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series with the then Soviet Union. Canada won the final three games in Moscow to capture that series 4-3 with one tie.

"We just wanted to win the series so bad and honour the '72 guys that won," said Legein, who plays for Mississauga of the OHL and is a 2007 draft pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

"That's how we played out there. We weren't going to let them beat us in any aspect. We were down a couple of times (2-0 in both the first game and in a 4-4 tie Friday in Red Deer) so I think it was just our heart that made the difference."

NOTES: - The last time the Russian junior team played at GM Place it was beaten 5-0 by Canada in the title game of the 2006 world junior championship ... five Team Canada members are from the Vancouver area - Alzner, Gillies, Zach Hamill, Lucic and Turris ... all but Gillies were on the ice for the opening face-off.

It is a Candian Game

I honestly think the US would have been a much better opponent as they can at least match the physical play.

Not much of a "SUPER" Series this go around

Nope...would have been nice had it been a bit closer, like 5 games to 3 ...so long as Canada wins, still, it was fun watching the skill level the Canadian jrs have now, when you think back to all those years we were known as the team that got outshot 40-20 , but won anyway.....We finally got goal scorers and have taken back the top of the World hockey pyramid!
