feels Oilers were beatable Sports Silver medal great for Team Canada The silver mednl Team Canada won week at the World Hockey should be regarded as one of the most flc accomplishments ih country has ever had in world hockey The mere fact that the were able to even be in Ihe gold medal game was everyone In this land hod to be proud of After all It Is fairly safe to say that this year team was not the most talented squad Canada has ever had In head loheadcompctltionswithRussIa Czechoslo vakia However we were still able to capture second spot Listening the medal round game between Canada and the on the radio Wednesday afternoon truly emphasized what heart and determination can da for a team that on paper Is outmatched Often in sport hose two elements are the intangibles that make the underdog strong and the eventual victor However against Team Czechoslovakia Friday one hod to spot the Canadians at least a onegoal deficit for having lo play the champion until the home team scored a shorthanded goal In the second period to take a 3 advantage that one began to feel maybe the gold medal t in the offing for Canada this year Even though Canada was one goal down In actuality was two down because a lie would have meant the Czechs taking the gold based on a total goals scored in the medal round Thumping Team USA 11 gave Czechoslo vakia hat edge while Canada had a par lowscoring wins in their medal games versus United States and 1 against Russia Yet despite the twogoat disadvantage you couldseetheCanadiansnatglvlngup When Team Canada headed Into the third per down the squad put on great pressure in their quest for the equalizing tally but It was not going to happen The two squads exchanged goals In the final period until Czechs scored their last goal In the empty Canadian net Therein lies winning edge as TEam Canada had to be happy with the sliver medal after the loss But world championship ended a fantastic year for Canadian hockey teams in world competition Team Canada won the Canada Cup Spengler Cup world Junior hockey championship and of course Canada was just one win away from a gold In Ihe world In all these competitions Ihe Canadians were able lo score victories over their rivals from Russia Never has one hockey year seen Canadian teams enjoy so much success over the Russians The efforts our national teams in tho different world hockey championships has to mean our nation has returned as the lop hockey country In the world That honor belonged to the Russians be fore but Judging from our success this year maybe It is not too boastful to admit Canada has returned as the best hockey nation in the world Oilers should win Cup final I have to take one at trying lo decide who will end up in the Stanley Cup final Despite dropping the first game to Quebec Philadelphia should prevail and gain a berth and meet Edmonton in the seven Winning Ihe series in seven seems lo be a good bet On the other hand is there any stopping Edmonton The
