Sent from my man on the inside at the NHL who loves the arrogance of the subhead. As do I.

That winning streak that was snapped was five straight gold medals by the Canadians, or by my calculations, nearly 30 straight wins in World Championship competition.

Oh, did I forget to mention this momentous feat happened yesterday? Some of the hockey community is pretty enraged that we didn’t pay more attention to this. Personally, I’m surprised we didn’t get a plug for the junior team from the 1980′s Olympic heroes during the Winter Classic last weekend – you’d think Eruzione and friends would take an interest in a bunch of 20-somethings taking out a powerhouse in dramatic fashion. I guess there wasn’t time during the segment…possibly because they had to clear up the fact that the game against the Soviets wasn’t actually the gold medal game.

Regardless, hats off and reign victorious to John Carlson, pictured above scoring the game winner in OT, and the rest of the U.S.A. Juniors. The Steady Burn nation commends you.
