German Defenseman Ejected for Illegal Check to the Head

In what can only be described as a one-way bloodbath, Canada v. Germany on Day 3 of World Junior Championship got ugly in a hurry.

After two periods, Canada leads Team Germany 9-1, with a 39-11 advantage in shots on goal. What's more, German defenseman Rayan Bettahar was ejected for an illegal hit to the head on Canadian forward Adam Fantilli.

On top of being on the receiving end of a beatdown, Germany played down a man for the final 20 minutes. Hardly ideal when in deep against Team Canada.
