Growing up just across the river from Windsor, I understand the passion of Canadians when it comes to Olympics & World Juniors. It may be Canada’s game, but the best team doesn’t always win.
These kids are barely teenagers, and play with a ton of pressure and expectations. I’m sure they are as disappointed as the whole country. To post on social media about how they “failed” and let down the whole country is just ridiculous.

The best thing that could happen to Canada WJC’s is to repeatedly fail, to be honest. They were winners for so long, at times when they didn’t actually deserve it, that expectations then hit that “Has to be Gold every single time or it’s abject failure” level, and this is 2019 when that’s a stupid notion to take into a tourney for kids.

Canada never really forgave Marc Andre Fleury for the fluke clear that ended up in the goal. Talk to a Canadian and they still remember it from 2004.
