to move up and down
Canada will meet the United States in a sudden death semi-final showdown Thursday at 4 a.m. ET. You should probably take your pre-game nap now.
Canadian goaltender Malcolm Subban had his best game of the world junior hockey championship so far in a 2-1 win over the United States on Sunday.
The Belleville Bulls goaltender made 36 saves for Canada, who are unbeaten in three games and face host Russia on New Year’s Eve for first place in Pool B.
The winner gets a bye to the semifinal, while the loser must play in a quarter-final. Russia is currently second in the pool at 2-0-1.

First they self-destructed. Then, they almost put the pieces back together.
But there is no consolation in it for Canada’s teenagers.
From down by five goals to Russia in the third period of the semi-final at the IIHF world junior championship, to one goalpost shy of a miracle comeback in the final minute. Their consolation — a shot at the bronze medal Thursday afternoon against Finland — won’t put much of a smile on their faces, even if they can find the gumption to give it their best shot.
