opening day of world juniors

its opening day of the world junior hockey tournament. Canada loses to the U.S. 4-2 to cap the evening. pretty even. the last two U.S. goals were scored on a deflection of a Canadian stick and the goaltender not closing his legs quick enough. the U.S. had the play advantage i thought. the u.s. and Sweden lead group A with three points - Sweden beat Switzerland 8-3. Canada and Switzerland with no points. in group B, Russia beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in the shoot out and Finland blew out Belarus 6-0. Finland leads group B with three points, Russia with two, Czech Rep with one and Belarus with none. tommorow has Denmark vs Switzerland and Belarus vs Slovakia. that is it for day one
