It hurts. Most nowadays would say that losing to the Americans is worse. But I feel losing to our historic arch-enemies in the hockey world is that much more sour. This goes back all the way to the historic 1972 Summit Series where Canada narrowly defeated the Soviet all-stars in eight games (the Canadians winning four, the Soviets three, with one tie)
Last year's defeat at the hands of the Americans was bad, especially considering we had the lead late in the third, only to lose that, tie it up with less than a minute with two quick goals by Jordan Eberle, then lose in overtime. But this one may hav ebeen worse with Canada owning a comfortable three-goal lead only to stop hitting and stop being hungry. It seems the Russians wanted it more.
