Grant the Finnish victory didn't seem to upset.

– English has long been strong in junior, and now they play a good tournament. As canadian, of course I was hoping for Canada to win, but always not, Grant said.

– First, Finland had a strange leveling of the paint just the actual playing time of the end, then in overtime the canadian racket broke avopaikassa and Finland right after making the winning goal. I have to confess, that the winning goal was fine and the defender's shot gorgeous, Grant said.

Grant made jokers the opening goal for Sibir Novosibirskiä against. Complaints had not been grant's not the size of the field solo after the hit.

I Was in a bit onnekaskin, when the puck was already running away from me. Opponents wasn't close, so I was free to skate towards the goal. The hit came good feeling, Grant said.
