Wow, what a surprise no one here is talking about this tournament. GFY sure is different these days.
Canada was bent over and dominated in their game against the US. They looked virtually nothing like they did in their previous two games. The Americans came out swinging with better passing, better puck control, a more disciplined physical game, and creating better chances than Canada did, and it paid off in spades for them. The one goal we did get probably shouldn't have counted due to the major gaff on the part of the idiot ref blowing his idiot whistle too early.
Good luck to the US against the Swedes for the gold.
Russia too nearly got bent over and abused in their game. It was all Sweden for the first period and a half of this game. I was pleased to see them regroup and eventually tie it up, leading to a tense shootout finish.
Canada v Russia for Bronze. Even though it's only bronze it should still be a good game.
