Of course it's nice to see your Country play well and win rather then lose, but this is the kind of tournament that can be easily shrugged off.
I doubt even the players in the tournament will lose sleep over the early exit.
It's actually enjoyable to watch the World Championships just for the fact that the teams are much more even. Blowouts are good for a laugh, but your going to follow a tight game more closely then a blowout.
The big thing to take into consideration is that even though Canada lost, it doesn't really reflect on the overall skill of the Country. Every other country has their A or B team while Canada could of filled 3-4 roster's before turning to many (if not all) of these players.
Bottom line... We lost, big whoop, wanna fight about it?
