Disaster for team Canada in the 1st period of tonight's game
Kicked out of the game and an own goal!?!?! C'mon, boys! Get your heads on straight!
Less than 10 minutes into tonight's Quarter-Final matchup between Canada and Czechia at the World Junior Championships this evening and the host country is absolutely reeling.
With the stage set and with Canadian hockey fans going wild in Ottawa, Czechia scored less than a minute into the game.
Then, with less than 10 minutes left in the period forward Cole Beaudoin was given a five minute major and a game ejection for a knee on knee collision.
Check it out:
The officials spent a considerable amount of time analyzing the hit before electing to hand out the Major penalty to Beaudoin.
After Tanner Howe managed to pull the game even with a shorthanded goal, the Czechs regained the lead after defenseman Sam Dickinson puts the puck in his own net!
So to recap Canada's start:
- Goal against in the first minute
- Undisciplined penalty to take you off the power play
- 5-minute major
- Own goal
Get your heads screwed on straight, boys!
