Perhaps I jinxed us when bragging about the streak the other day. We went 6-0 at the World Cup last September and 6-0 at the World Junior Championship in January. Unfortunately, we won't be running the gamut at this year's world championship.
Up 2-0 in the first, I was ready to blow the Swedes out. I was feeling a little cocky and began looking beyond this game to tomorrow. What happened? The Swedes are a good team and our D didn't show up and there were too few players playing their ass off. We'd better show up tomorrow against Finland.
