Canada makes no apologies

UFA, Russia - Team Canada was down a couple of bodies going into their game against the U.S. Sunday, but as the number of forwards in the stands and the accusations of dirty play against them mounted, the Canadians weren’t making any apologies -- or planning on changing the way they’re playing.

Good on them.

Canadian defenceman Scott Harrington is a quiet and steady force on the blueline whose standup play and willingness to do the grunt work earned him the coach’s cape after Canada’s 6-3 win over Slovakia.

The dark cape, with “The Reason” emblazoned on the back, is awarded to the player the coaches think was key to the team’s effort.

 











Would Patrick Roy make a good coach for the Colorado Avalanche?
  Yes, he's perfect
  No, he's not ready
  Bring him to Montreal!
