Amazing game..... but I'm pretty disappointed. I feel like the US team was the most solid all around. Total domination of every opponent throughout the tournament until the final game.
I was going to say the same thing. Shots on goal were around 41 to 19 for Canada Miller definitely won that first game for the US. It is possible to be the better team and still loose.
Great game today though by both teams. One of the best I watched in years.
You know that is gonna be an epic win for Canada to look back on in 20 years. Think about it the Shoot out with the Swiss then the loss to the US team. Then the comeback by the US in the finals with a dramatic goal to tie up the game with less than 30 seconds on the clock. Hell even the fact that Crosby who is sure to be a legend scored the winning goal will add to its legacy.
People should give more love to Iginla, dude made the pass on his knees to Sid so he could score that goal. This win is going down in history books; if I didn't know better, I would say the whole thing was scripted.
Canada loses a heartbreaking 5-3 in the prelims despite out shooting the US 40-20(ish). Goes to dominate our arch rivals the Russians 7-3 to break the 50 year drought. Then we play a game against the Slovaks who upset both the Russians and Swedes (who are the defending champions) in a close 3-2 game.
Finally, at the gold medal game we go up 2-0 to only have the Americans climb back and score the tying goal with only 25s left to go. Then we come out guns blazing in OT and pressure the Americans until Sid the Kid scores the game winning goal. How crazy is that?
I was very disappointed with the outcome of this game but America did better than expected. Luongo was pretty crappy though. He is an amazing goaltender usually but he had zero puck control that night and I was so frustrated that the US players weren't capitalizing on those rebound chances. As soon as they started doing it, they tied the game up.
Congrats to team Canada though. They had an amazing team full of superstar players. I actually like a lot of the players that are on that team, just had to root for my home country. I just wish anybody besides Crosby would have scored the winning goal. I can't stand Crosby even the slightest bit. :boo01:
The Americans got lucky the 1st game. Played much better then 2nd game.
Parise is a beast, i was saying that all night long, if i could pick one American to come play for Canada, its him. Makes sense considering his father is a canadian hockey hero from 1972.
I cant stand Brian Burke and Ron Wilson. two leafs losers. nice to see them lose again.
I don't consider that a lucky win. They were outshot by a longshot but they made the most of their oppurtunities and Miller was playing incredible that night. I don't think it is luck. USA's goalie just had a much better game than Canada's did.
Parise was very good. I thought Kane played very well too.
