The tense shoulders and drawn face of Sergei Nemchinov said it all.
The coach of Russia's junior hockey team and former NHL player was the picture of frustration at the post-game news conference after his team lost 6-2 to Canada on Friday and their third straight to the visitors to start this Super Series.
The Canadians aim to sweep the Russian leg of the eight-game event, which was put together to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series, before the Canadian half of the series opens Tuesday in Winnipeg.
Game 4 of the Junior Super Series is Saturday (TSN, 6 a.m. ET) in the second of back-to-back games at the new Arena Omsk.
