World Juniors Recap Day 2: Demid Yeremeyev stole the hearts of Canadians

Day two of the 2019 World Junior Championships picked up right where Boxing Day left off. While all four favourites won their respective games, the final scores didn’t really tell the whole story. Yes, Russia played well against Denmark, but they also gave up way too many scoring chances to them. Sweden defeated Slovakia by multiple goals, but the Slovaks looked as strong as they did against the United States the day before. Canada beat Switzerland, but the Swiss pushed the Canadians right up until the final buzzer. And even though Finland won handily, their goaltender was stellar and stole the hearts of #HockeyTwitter.
