The United States of America last night put an end to any Canadian hopes of a record sixth straight gold medal in the world junior hockey championship when the fleet, sometimes panicking young Americans pulled off an upset 6-5 overtime victory over the defending champions and pre-tournament favourites.And from the Canadian Press, a report card on Canada's performance in the world junior's final, rated on a scale of one to 10.
The win dampened an incredible Canadian comeback late in the third that saw Jordan Eberle, the clutch hero of last year's gold-medal victory in Ottawa, score twice to force the overtime.
Unfortunately, unlike a year ago, the Canadians could not finish the job, the game lost at 4:21 of overtime when the Americans broke up ice on a three-on-one and defenceman John Carlson scored on a hard shot that beat Canadian goaltender Martin Jones.
The final goal at 4:21 in overtime here:
