IMPRESSIVE PENALTY KILL

With Canada trailing Russia 1-0 in the late stages of the first period,
check out how Casey Cizikas lifts his team with an aggressive fore checking
shift helping him team kill a crucial penalty. Canada would come back to tie
the game just minutes later and eventually go on to win their opening match
at the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championship in Buffalo with a 6-3 win.

You call this impresive well you obviously don't watch any european hockey since in europe you have DEFENCE on your team aswell so you dont get into lot of trouble by causing penalties

I can't wait to see Casey Cizikas kick ranger ass, why are you people talking about different players and different teams? This is an islanders prospect.

[FFJabarr]

That is one of the best shifts of hockey you'll ever see.

Reimer is a joke.. Kadri has yet to prove himself, so I'll let that one go, but seriously. James Reimer is a media glorified joke. It's too bad cause hes a nice kid.

Cizikas is a beast

[Matt Landers]

I completely agree with you. The most balanced players are Canadians but everyone is missing my point. Who cares what country their from? I care about the players performance on the ice not where their from.

Canadian Players aren't necessarily the most skilled but they are the strongest, smartest and hardest working. Russians are fast, Swedes are skilled, Finns make great goalies and are generally fairly crafty like the Swedes and Americans are gritty, but there is no doubt Canadians combine all of those traits the best. Watch Canada vs USA it's a gritty game, Canada vs Sweden/Finland there's lots of dangles, Canada vs Russia it's fast paced, end to end. OH CANADA
