World Juniors daily recap: Going for gold

Throughout the World Juniors tournament, we’ll be keeping track of all the action and bringing you all of the results in one place.

Canada vs. Russia

The semifinals were upon us last night and things sure were set to get interesting, with both of our matchups being rematches from the pre-tournament, interestingly enough. We kicked things off with Canada and Russia, as Canada was looking to keep what’s been a pretty stellar run going. And, well, they sure did get themselves off to a good and interesting start. Just 59 seconds in, Alex Newhook (who missed last game with an injury) looked to hit the crossbar and we thought “oh wow, that was close, good chance,” and kept things rolling, until the horn of doom sounded to let us know that the goal was being reviewed.
