Canada downs Russia in Gold medal U20 final
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Michael Blunden scored a pair of goals and Justin Pogge made 35 saves as Canada defeated Russia 5-0 in the championship game of the World Junior Hockey Championships Thursday.
Canada scored twice in the first period and twice in the second to set up the convincing win before a raucous sell-out crowd at GM Place, home of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks.
It was the Canadians' second consecutive gold medal and the 12th championship for Canada since 1977 at the men's under-20 event. Canada went a perfect 6-0 at the tournament.
"We came out and played our game and, oh my God, look what happens," Pogge, a Toronto Maple Leafs prospect, said.
"We're in Canada and it's Canada game. The gold stays in Canada."

didn't watch the game but great result.
and good to see the Leafs have a good goalie in Pogge when ever Belfour decides to quit.
