2011 comeback for gold over Canada showed at same time as Sunday’s final
Some Russian hockey fans were celebrating victory despite losing at the world junior hockey championships because of a confusingly timed TV repeat.
Two state TV channels showed Russia-Canada finals at the same time on Sunday. One was live, and the other was from 2011.
While most fans, and Russia’s players, commiserated after a 4-3 loss to Canada on Channel One, many Russians watched a nail-biting, nine-year-old 5-3 comeback win on rival broadcaster Match TV.
