I don't know about Russia being the better team. Canada dominated the first 2 periods, in which they could have scored more then just 3.
But, they totally didn't show up for the 3rd period. Fools !
Anyways, this made a headline today :
Russian juniors booted off plane
Russia's gold-medal celebration at the world junior hockey championship went into overtime, preventing the team from boarding its flight Thursday morning from Buffalo, N.Y.
About 30 members of the Russian contingent were asked to get off a Delta Air Lines flight to Atlanta after boarding for takeoff early Thursday morning, an airport spokesman said.
"To ensure the safe operation of the flight, the crew of Flight 1266 denied boarding to 30 passengers who were travelling together and displaying unruly behaviour," Delta spokeswoman Susan Chana Elliott said. "The passengers are being rebooked on a future flight."
