Canadiens/Jets, Russia vs. Canada, WJC, Subban and More

Brendan Gallagher Brendan Gallagher #12 of Team Canada body checks Pavel Kulikov #15 of Team Russia during the 2012 World Junior Hockey Championship Semifinal game at the Saddledome on January 3, 2012 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Wow.

Canada almost rallied from a 6-1 deficit against the Russians last night at the World Junior Hockey Championship. Almost.

In the end, the Canadian juniors would fall 6-5.

The fact that Brendan Gallagher was a key part of that rally should please Canadiens fans greatly.

Meanwhile, watching Nail Yakupov rack up four assists and seeing the Habs ranked 26th in the league, it almost makes one want to launch that "Fail for Nail" campaign. Almost.
