No, both teams played well. Canada dominated early but by the 3rd they seemed to just be trying to maintain rather than keep the extreme pressure like they had in the 1st and early part of the 2nd. They simply weren't prepared for the 3rd period rally this Russian team has become known for, and the house of cards caved in on them.
Congrats to the Ruskies. Nice win. We'll get you next year. We're still ahead in # of golds over all. :D

They were done in the 3rd. Choked, tired, out of gas. Russians simply schooled them with endurance, speed and skill. They could have scored 7 in that 3-rd period. You can't expect Canadians to run 60 minutes and hit and hit and hit. Outcoached. Just like canadians did it to russians in OG.
