Unlike most, I don't really have a whole lot to say about last night's collapse.
To make light of it, I suppose we could call it the Curse Of The Green Sweater! The lovable Roughriders have had some memorable collapses in recent years (Paul McCallum 18 yard field goal, too many men)!
It is what it is. A blown lead in the biggest junior game of all. Period.
Anyway, here's my response to Dan O'Connor on Facebook...
The second goal was weak and I think the players did what most junior players would do....they kinda panicked. Russians kept coming and won the game. Not totally Visentin's fault. But, he didn't make a deadly stop either to help regroup the guys.
Canada still rules the roost. 7 juniors in the NHL and the top 5 scorers from both the OHL and WHL weren't considered for this team. Name another country that could leave off 17 players of that calibre and still win or come within a whisker of winning.
