We didn't get of to a great start today:

Russia   5
USA       1

With Fleury in net Canada is up 4-2 on Sweden through two.

edit: the final score was:

Canada 8
Sweden 2

And the Swiss hold off the Belarusskies 4-2.  Hopp Schwiiz! B-]

According to TSN.ca, Marc-Andre Fleury will start in goal for Canada today against the Czech Republic.

Along with a Team Canada mask it looks like Lenny is sporting a new blocker and catching glove for the Jr. Worlds. . .see photo 2 in Team Canada Gallery XII http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/main.asp

Very nice game David!:-)

Two short-handed goals by Chris Higgins helps beat the Swiss, 3-1.  (Sorry, John.:`( )

Nice article on Dave  ::nut:: (other than saying he was taken in the 4th round of last years draft not the second. . . opps) ::nut::
Apparently even the TSN staff doesn't know much about our overlooked goalie.
