Michael DiPietro’s mother wipes away tears as Canadian fans chant her son’s name in Vancouver

In case you’re not watching the quarterfinal matchup between Canada and Finland at the World Junior Championships right now, do yourself a favor and fire it up RIGHT NOW.

After two periods the Canadians are up 1-0 on the Finns thanks to a goal from Ian Mitchell. The big thanks though has to go to Vancouver Canucks prospect Michael DiPietro who has been an absolute wall for Canada in this game.

I mean… just look at him stare down Finnish sniper Eeli Tolvanen on this breakaway:
