Grapes doesn't like the way the Maple Leafs' Kyle Wellwood was benched this week but is enjoying the toughness displayed by a couple of young Edmonton Oilers. The coach also takes a moment to salute Team Canada after it clinched its fourth straight world junior hockey championship in the Czech Republic.

Great to see Grapes say something about the west
and Oiler younguns . Aren't most viewers getting
a little sick of seeing the cameo shots of
coach Maurice and his expressions to every
goal and penalty call as well as the special
shots of JFjr from his solitary box . Unnecessary drama for a broadcast. Bring back
satellite hotstove so viewers can hear about
some other parts of the country.

Sweden should have won based on scoring chances.
Sweden could have won if they could find the net more often.
Sweden would have won if Canada's goalie wasn't so good.
Sweden did not win. End of story.
Canadas fourth straight win of course we are the best nation in hockey. You dont get lucky four times in a row.

Just wanted to let you guys know that we always tune in for Coach's Corner because of Don Cherry. He has done more to promote patriotism for our wonderful country than any other public figure in recent years. He loves Canada as I do. Wasn't it great to hear our young boys sing O Canada with so much enthusiasm, and to see 150 of our troops at the World Juniors, both of which are fully supported by Cherry.
