Canadian defense is really tough. Hard to get any shots through. I have a Jonathan Toews Blackhawk jersey and now I have to cheer against him. Need Patrick Kane to even things up.

If Miller wasn't such a stud in goal, it'd be tough to decide between Parise and Rafalski as MVPs of the US team for the tournament.
At least we have a gold medal game worthy of it's stature.

Well, so much for that.
I know the US team went farther than was expected, but we just didn't do it defensively in the OT. Too much time in our own end.-digital dean

4 on 4 always favors the team with the most offensive talent, and that was Canada. In the end, the best player on the ice got the winning goal. As a Blackhawks fan, I was glad to see Patrick Kane have a good game. He's the guy I was hoping might get a breakaway situation in the overtime. He's an awesome talent who hasn't quite reached his potential yet. Hopefully the NHL will send their players to the Olympics in 4 years. U.S.A. hockey is turning out some impressive talent.I can't run no more

The "underdog" image put forth by the media for the US team was simply wrong, in my opinion. The US team got exactly where I expected - 2nd. This was a team filled with young players who already have 2, 3 and 4 years of NHL experience simply because they are among the best players in the world. Most have had success in the world juniors tournaments and other international competitions in the recent past. Older, more experienced American players were left home, because they weren't as good as those selected. More importantly, it was put together as a team, with a mind toward role players who would complete four lines as you would want to play with all season under international rules. The US had the second best roster there. They should have been in this game.Originally posted by digitaldean
Canada's advantage was primarily in fire-power across four forward lines, and maybe consistency defensively from their defencemen. I might have given them the edge in the net before the tournament, but Miller was very, very solid.
You get to the end, and you expect a play from the likes of Crosby or Parise. Parise got his at the end of regulation to tie it, Crosby made his in overtime to win.Comment

After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.Comment
