Good game. Once we got to the 8 minutes left in the 3rd I knew we weren't gonna score.

Canadian defense was way too strong, just better is every facet of the game today

Quick gave US a great chance to steal it though

If Quick was anything short of excellent (which he was) the game is over midway through the 2nd. I think we beat Sweden too but it'll be harder than the Yanks.

Canada-Sweden should be good. There's gonna be a black dude playing in that game

Spoiler

For Sweden

I'm not even mad they lost like in 2010, they played too passively and soft to generate any offensive pressure

Brian Burke

Byslma

Orpik and Dustin Brown

How can you be mad at them? They don't have the guys. Look at the US roster then look at Canada's.

They were competitive in the 1st - I was expecting a CLASSIC game after that. Huge letdown

I was pissed how you leave off Ryan, Yandle, and Okposo off the team, they were playing well this season

Yandle surprised me. Okposo I kind of understand since he has had some tough seasons and just blew up this year. Prolly thought he was risky.

After the 1st 5 minutes Canada was playing some late 90's circa NJ Devils Hockey. shyt was disgusting.

I know, but even before the tournament the roster they selected was criticized and today you saw why that became the case. USA didn't enough offensive players to just give Canada any trouble, Canada defense was outstanding, I'm just disappointing that USA didn't push the game harder on them

That being said the reason we all thought we would lose was the exact reason we lost.

Scoring.... not enough of it.

Against competition on or close to our level (including Russia) we could not score 5 on 5.

Mid 90's

On that note.... Zach Parise loses.

Canada will win against Sweden. No Zetterberg, no medal. USA chocked again.
