The World Cup of Hockey was wrapped up last night with the final match up between Team Canada and Team Europe. With the Canadians unexpectedly trailing the entire game as Europe was up 1-0 Canada picked up the pace in the third, scoring two goals to secure and defend their title as world champions. But what even more impressive than Canada's World Cup win is the Bruins' presence on the ice. All three goals put up on the board last night were those of Bruins players, talk about making a good impression for Team Canada and Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien. But let's be honest, he was already impressed and knows the talent he has on his Boston roster. In the opening period Bruins captain Zdeno Chara started Team Europe off with a shot to the back of the net helping ride them out for most of the game. Well, until Bruins teammate Patrice Bergeron kicked into gear at least. In the third period the Canadians picked it up a notch, first by taking advantage of key opportunities Bergeron's power play goal helped to tie things up for the Canadians while Bruins standout, Brad Marchand sealed away the win taking a center pass from Toew's and slinging one in top shelf over Carey Price. Now, with only a few weeks until the NHL season kicks off, I think it's time these guys bring it back to Boston. I mean, it's only fair.
