I'll admit that Canada made a job of it when it came to the Swiss. They were being far to generous in passing, instead of shooting. And there were too many blind passes that ended up on Swiss sticks.I think the US hockey team is kicking butt! Canada needs to step it up. The Americans have role players, Canada is full of stars. The balanced team might help US in the long run. But Canada has some guys that should be grinding a little more. US doesn't have that problem so far.
I can't wait for Sunday's game between Canada and USA. It should be GREAT HOCKEY!!!
That said, Hiller stood on his head in goal and almost stole the game. I mentioned in a previous post that a hot goaltender in the Olympics can make all the difference. The team as a whole played very well and I admire the grit and heart.
As for the US, they were actually fortunate in their game against Norway. The US gave up a whole bunch of 2 on 1's and 3 on 1's. If they do the same thing with Canada, they will be crucified! I look forward to the US/Canada game as well.
Do you remember what happened in Salt Lake City? Canada sucked in the first couple of games. Do you remember who won the gold medal?
Look at what happened to Russia! Lost to Slovakia! Russia was the favourite going into the tournament. The tournament format for the Olympics can make it a crap shoot, when trying to predict.
