Canada confident ahead of rematch with Finnish foes at world juniors
VANCOUVER — Morgan Frost believes Canada’s best game is yet to come this year’s world junior hockey championship.
The Canadians lost their final round-robin matchup 2-1 in a tight battle with the Russians on New Year’s Eve, but the defending champions have a chance to redeem themselves when they take on Finland on Wednesday.
“It’s the quarterfinals so it’s kind of win or go home,” Frost said. “I think there’ll be a lot of emotion but I think you can expect our best game.”
The Finns beat Canada 5-2 in pre-tournament action and the Canadians want revenge, Frost said.
