A World Championship team with four guys who play for something called the Fischtown Pinguins beat a Team Canada squad chock full of Hall of Famers and Stanley Cup champions. And that's why they bother playing the games. Ken Campbell's video column discusses just how rare this Denmark win over Canada was. This specific Denmark squad [https://thehockeynews.com/international/latest-news/nikolaj-ehlers-denmark-beating-canada-one-of-the-biggest-things-i-ve-done-in-my-career] beating this specific Canadian team [https://thehockeynews.com/international/latest-news/disappointed-sidney-crosby-we-couldn-t-get-it-done-here-tonight] is arguably the biggest upset in the history of international hockey. It's certainly right there with Poland beating the Soviets in the 1976 World Championship. But what makes this such a stunning defeat is that it happened in an elimination game at the Worlds. It was win-or-go-home, and a stunned Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and Marc-Andre Fleury are going home two days before they thought they would.
