Canada: 4 W - 1 T - 1 L, Disqualified Depending on your point of view, the 1987 tournament in Piestany, Czechoslovakia, was either Canadas best or worst moment in the history of the World Junior Championship. Nick Foles Jersey . With Canada in contention for gold and leading Russia 4-2 in their final game, the lights went out - literally. A bench-clearing brawl erupted and officials, struggling to restore order, had the lights in the arena shut off. The players continued to fight in the dark, and organizers were forced to cancel the game. Both teams were eventually disqualified from the competition. Many Canadian fans complained that the Russians, out of medal contention at 2-3-1, started the fight to ensure that their Canadian rivals would not get a medal either. Some were proud of the Canadians for standing up for each other on the ice, others were ashamed of the melee. In the end, it was academic. Finland beat the Czechs 5-3 on the final day to take the gold medal and the Canadians went home with nothing but an asterisk. Though the gold medal may have been somewhat tainted, Finland did have a talented club. Teppo Kivela, Jukka Seppo and Janne Ojanen each recorded a dozen points to lead the Finns in scoring, while Markus Ketterer was named the tournaments top goaltender. The Czechs had a solid offence, led by top forward Robert Kron and all-stars Jiri Latal and Juraj Jurik. A win over Finland on the final day would have been golden for Czechoslovakia. With Ulf Dahlen winning the scoring title with 15 points, and top defenceman Calle Johansson patrolling the blueline, Sweden was good enough for the bronze. All four of Swedens wins came via shutout, with Sam Lindstahl and Johan Borg setting a record with two apiece.

The Calgary Flames will see if they can take their recent hot streak on the road when they shoot for a sixth consecutive win Monday night in Montreal.(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Jose Sharks aim to cap a season-high seven-game homestand with a fourth straight victory on Monday night as they take on the Edmonton Oilers. The Sharks are 5-1-1 in their past seven games overall and shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 on Saturday thanks to Antti Niemis 31 saves. Niemi recorded his fourth shutout of the season and 31st of his career as he topped his former club. He made some very tough saves in succession, Sharks coach Todd McLellan said about Niemi. Joe Thornton and Melker Karlsson each had a goal and an assist for the Sharks, who are looking to record their longest winning streak since a season-high five-game run from Dec. 9-20. San Jose is second in the Pacific Division with 60 points, 10 back of the first-place Anaheim Ducks and three up on both Vancouver and Calgary. Tyler Kennedy missed a second game in a row on Saturday with a lower-body injury, while Tye McGinn exited early versus the Blackhawks with an undisclosed ailment. Both are questionable for this game. Edmonton enjoyed a stretch of three victories in ffour games ahead of Saturdays meeting with the Calgary Flames, but failed to hold an early lead and allowed four third-period goals in a 4-2 defeat. Harold Carmichael Youth Jersey. Jordan Eberle and Benoit Pouliot scored in the first period for the Oilers, while Ben Scrivens made 29 saves in the setback. They just kept coming, Edmonton interim coach Todd Nelson said. They never change their game and we got away from a few of the things that were working for us in the first. Edmonton, last in the Western Conference with 35 points, was without forward Taylor Hall for a third game in a row due to a bruised left leg, but he hopes to return tonight. He is tied for the club lead with 18 assists and third with 29 points. The Oilers have lost 10 of their past 12 versus the Sharks overall and five straight in San Jose. Scrivens is 2-4-1 in his career versus the Sharks with a 3.13 goals against average and .909 save percentage in seven meetings, recording one shutout. Niemi holds a career mark of 10-1-1 against the Oilers with a 2.45 GAA and .905 save percentage in 12 meetings.
