Balanced reporting for Gold Medal Game (even though I'm actually mad Canada lost)

Held in Buffalo, N.Y. the World Junior gold medal hockey game was a battle between the two powerhouses of Canada and Russia. It looked like gold for Canada after a 3-0 lead at the beginning of the third peroid. In a stunning turn-around, the Russian team scored 5 consective goals to take the gold out from underneath the Canadian's noses. This is Russia's first gold medal World Junior hockey game since 2003.

Surely Canadian fans (like my dad) must be disapointed and shocked by the complete game change-up but the Russians could not appear to be any happier after the game. The mix of hysterical yelling and crying from the Russian hockey players, overcome by excitement and happiness, filled the arena. Some Russian fans in the stands, though vastly outnumbered, were obviously over-joyed. Russian Captain Valdimir Tarasenko was overcome by emotion, recieving his gold medal, was quoted, "We're champions! We're Champions! WAHOO!"

Canada's woeful defeat was obviously a hard hit to the team. Sombre expressions on the Canadian players were not broken or consoled by silver medals. Members of the team said that silver medals was not what they had come into the game hoping for. Some fans also scrutinized the Canadians, saying that had let the game slip out of their own hands; they had gotten too cocky and comfortable with their 3-0 lead. The Canadians learned a hard lesson at the World Juniors. It's not over, 'till it's over.

A stunning and thrilling World Juniors game was had for 2011, and for the veiwers at home, sitting on the edge of their seats during the third period, excitement was sky high. In a face off between two very skilled teams, there can only be one victor but there will still be enjoyable, intense hockey for both teams and viewers. The world juniors for 2012 will be held Calgary, Edmonton. For the Canadian team, it's another shot at sweet victory. For the Russians, it's the defense of their title as the best junior hockey team in the world.

 Cheer up boys, i still find you more attractive than the Russian team.
