'We're snake-bitten': Unconvincing Canada gets past Germany 3-0 at world juniors

Coming off a stunning, embarrassing loss to Latvia some 48 hours earlier at the world junior hockey championship, Canada picked up an unconvincing 3-0 victory over Germany on Sunday.
Dave Cameron and his players once again found themselves in an uncomfortable position.
Coming off a stunning, embarrassing loss to Latvia some 48 hours earlier at the world junior hockey championship, Canada led another of the sport's lesser lights by a single goal late in regulation Sunday.
The tournament hosts would get the job done in the end. It wasn't pretty.
Oliver Bonk, Caden Price and Mathieu Cataford, into the empty net, scored as the wobbly Canadians picked up an unconvincing 3-0 victory over Germany.
"We're snake-bitten," Cameron, at his third world juniors as the country's head coach, said of the roster's toothless attack. "We're getting chances. That's all you can do … it'll break."
Carter George made 25 saves to register the goaltender's second straight shutout for Canada, which was coming off Friday's 3-2 upset loss to Latvia in a shootout.
"I just want to go out there and do my part to get this team a win," said George, who took a shot at the empty net that dribbled wide. "We all pitch into the system."
