Getting rid of Russia, but Canada will disgrace without our help? This will be the main failure from the time of humiliation from the USSR!

“Maple leaves” run the risk of getting into history! The four nations tournament, which is now in the Canadian Montreal, did not initially look like a mega -scale event. Yes, on the one hand, the national team from the NHL has become a kind of successor to the Canada Cup and the World Cup, allowing the fans to see in the case of a part of the best hockey players of the planet. On the other, his status is precisely lower than that of past tournaments with the participation of NHL superstars, and the composition of the participants caused questions-many of those who were obliged to play there flew past the “main tournament of the decade”. This mini-championary would become more interesting , if the Russian team participated there, but for all reasons of our national team there are no. But to replace the confrontation between Russians with Canadians and even Americans is very difficult. “The best matches in history have passed between Canada and Russia/USSR. Both we and Canadians present it this way. These are two strongest schools in world hockey. When they play against each other, such matches always have a big advertisement. In Russia and Canada, there will be even more excitement before future meetings, ”the Olympic champion Valery Kamensky said the other day. In the end, the most fundamental confrontation in this tournament began to be called matches between the United States and Canada. At first, all this was perceived with skepticism, but closer to the tournament the intensity of the duel of the North American teams really increased, including because of political events. After the US President Donald Trump said that Canada should become the 51st state of the USA, at matches NHL fans of teams from the country of maple leaf began to boog out the anthem of the United States. The same thing happened at the tournament of four nations, especially before the match of the two national teams of the American continent – during the announcement of the composition of the US national team and the anthem of the country, the whistle stood throughout the stadium. This intensity was also transmitted to the players – three fights in the first minute of the match, a strict power struggle. But the main thing is the defeat of Canada and the fact that the “maple leaves” were on the verge of a grand failure. The Canadian national team may not get to the final of the tournament. And this can happen for the first time in the history of international competitions held by the NHL! In the entire history of the Cups of Canada and Cups of the world, the Canadian team only left without victory, but always went to the final. Once, Canadians devastally lost the USSR team – 1: 8, it happened in 1981 at the Canada Cup. The second time the “Klenovovs” victory was pulled out by the US team in 1996-then the World Cup final played up to 3 victories, the Americans won with a total score of 2-1.VideoAnd for the first time Canada can be left without the final. Despite the fact that only the lazy did not admire the composition of the Canadians before the start of the tournament. Indeed, from the heads collected on one sheet, the head goes around. As for the first five of the majority, someone tried to calculate how much they scored points in the NHL in total? All the more offensive and more painful with this composition will fly past the final of the home tournament. Who would have thought that the upcoming match with Finland for Canadians risks becoming historical? It is such that one of the star representatives of the Canadian national team Connor McDavid believes it: “It will be like the seventh game [в серии плей-офф]. Many guys in our team have already been in such a situation. We need to win. “VideoConnor, like no one understands what the seventh game is and what it means to give in to such a match, stopping just a step away from the cherished goal – in the final of the Stanley Cup – 2024 he survived these unpleasant emotions. And since such a comparison is given, it means that the mood of the “maple leaves” is really prohibitive. Will the Finns be able to stop such Canada and create a grand sensation?
