\"TeamCanada is expected to pose a serious threat to winning the World Junior Hockey Championship<\/a> after they opened their campaign this week with a 4-2<\/em> win over Team Finland<\/strong> and followed that up with a thumping 6-0<\/em> win over Slovakia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Their opening game against Team Finland was pretty intense as Team Canada started out in very aggressive fashion while overcoming a series of bad turnovers and penalties on defense early on. However, as the game progressed it seemed Canada began to settle down and kept the opposition in its own side of the rink for much of the last period.<\/p>\n

Team Canada had to deal with nerves in its first game at the World Junior Hockey Championship and eventually finished with a 4-2<\/em> win. The keys to success were the aggressive opening play where three players launched attacks on the Finnish defense and it paid off.<\/p>\n
