For the third straight year, Canada has failed to medal at the IIHF World Hockey Championship. This time falling to Slovakia in the quarter-final round, thus making the tournament trip all for not for our supposed Kings of Hockey nation.
Ryan Getzlaf took a undiciplined and stupid five-minute major and a game misconduct with two minutes left in regulation to allow Slovakia to score for a 4-3 win. Winnipeg Jets teammates Evander Kane and Andrew Ladd finished the tournament with four goals, three assists for seven points and one goal, four assists for five points, respectively.
Jim Slater's team USA also lost to Finland in another semi-final, 3-2. He finished with two goals and one assist for three points.
