Can-Russia Gold Medal Game- How it Should Have Ended



So - the Canadian Jr Team had an epic collapse in the 3rd period last night at the World Junior Championships in Buffalo; 5 unanswered - and unexpected - goals by the Russians. With 17 minutes left to celebrate Gold, we lost, 5-3.
Damn.
The boys played so well - with grit, determination, skill and heart - but at the end, the Russian team just had that little bit extra. Well played, lads, well played.
So - how did I see the game finishing? Well, since the Gold vanished, how about this (click link for a good old fashioned BRAWL!!!):

Makes we want to head out and play some shinny.
