UFA, Russia -- The weight of a country's expectations can be a heavy load for any goaltender to shoulder.
A nylon cape? That's a lot lighter.
"It feels pretty good," Canada goaltender Malcolm Subban said after staring pressure in the face during a 2-1 victory over the United States Sunday at the 2013 World Junior Championship.
"The biggest thing was the rivalry we have with that team. It was a lot easier to get up for that game."
