After a less-than-impressive trio of pre-tournament games, which included a 5-2 loss to Finland, Canada didn’t exactly enter the World Juniors firing on all cylinders.

Well, they are now.

Team Canada was virtually flawless on the opening day of the World Juniors, beating Denmark 14-0 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Fans will surely have Canada’s new goal song, “Don’t stop the party” by Pitbull, stuck in their heads all night.

Canada led 3-0 after the first period and 8-0 going into the third.

Eighteen of Canada’s 20 skaters registered at least a point. Even goaltender Michael DiPietro got on the board, earning the second assist on the 5-0 goal.

DiPietro wasn’t busy, but did have to make a couple of difficult saves early. The Canucks draft pick also had to stop a penalty shot in the third period, which he made look easy.

Comtois, along with linemate Cody Glass, finished with a game-high +7 plus-minus rating. Glass also had four assists.
