Canada: 5 W - 2 T - 0 L, Gold Medal Canada seemed to struggle at the 1997 World Junior Championships in Geneva, Switzerland, but somehow went undefeated and came home with its fifth straight gold medal. Canada was 2-0-2 in the round-robin portion of the tournament and had trouble finding any offensive spark. That changed in the playoff portion, as 17-year-old Boyd Devereaux scored a clutch marker late in the semi-final to beat Russia 3-2 and then opened the scoring in the final as Canada beat the United States 2-0 to claim gold. There were other offensive stars for Canada during the tournament, as Brad Isbister, Christian Dube and Cameron Mann tied for the team lead with seven points. In the end, Canada was the highest scoring team in Geneva with 27 goals, although Russia scored 26 times in only six games while claiming the bronze. Canada won on the strength of its defence, led by veterans Chris Phillips and Brad Larsen, while new-comers Jesse Wallin, Jason Doig and Richard Jackman provided size, speed and mobility. It was a multi-faceted group full of future pros. Canada was also set in goal, where Marc Denis played all but one minute and was never less than sensational. He was particularly brilliant in the final game, stopping 35 American shots to get the shutout, the win, and the gold medal. He was a no-brainer pick for top goalie and ended his WJHC career with a 7-0-2 record and a sparking 1.67 goals against average. Somehow, Denis was left off the all-star team, but Phillips and Dube were there to represent Canada. In stretching its gold medal run to five straight tournaments, Canada also extended its incredible record to an unthinkable 24-0-3 in its last 27 world junior championship games. The streak had put the team under intense pressure over the week, but they came through with flying colours to claim Canadas tenth gold medal.

It was the first time in franchise history the Canucks recorded back-to-back shutouts on the road in consecutive days. Derek Dorsett, Shawn Matthias and Alexandre Burrows all scored in the second period and Kevin Bieksa supplied two assists for the Canucks, who beat Philadelphia 4-0 on Thursday. Sometimes you need your goalie to bail you out and Ryan did, Vancouver head coach Willie Desjardins said. It was great to win, but maybe a game we didnt deserve to win without our goaltending. Cam Ward allowed all three goals on 13 shots over the first 40 minutes and Anton Khudobin turned aside all four shots fired his way in the third. Vancouver has won its last four games against the Hurricanes. After a scoreless first period, Dorsett got Vancouver on the board at 6:18 of the second. Justin Faulk misplayed the puck at the Carolina blue line. Dorsett hopped on it and beat Ward with a wrist shot. Carolina had a chance to tie the game as Miller came way out of his net to play the puck and Riley Nash beat him to it, but Nash missed wide from the side of the net.dddddddddddd. I dont know what happened there. The puck was rolling there, said Nash. I just missed it. Its a tough one. Moments later, the Canucks went up 2-0 with another breakaway goal. Matthias swept the puck past a defender, shifted the puck from his backhand to his forehand and slipped a wrister past Ward at 12:57. Burrows ripped a shot under the glove of Ward from the left circle to make it a 3-0 game with 3:11 remaining in the period. Miller made eight stops in the third to preserve the win.
