North America's young stars were guilty of a little premature celebration after an overtime win against Sweden at the World Cup.
While Nathan MacKinnon was understandably excited about scoring a whale of a goal on Henrik Lundqvist, he thought the moment was bigger than it was at the time.
Nathan MacKinnon thought Team North America was moving on to the semis when he scored. "Maybe we shouldn't have celly'd that hard."

Instead, North America will have to rely on Finland to beat Russia on Thursday in order to advance to the semifinal round.
