Great game by the Canadians. Absolute domination everywhere. The Ruskies defense was pathetic. If you have Garbegkov on your team, you know you have a crap defense. Still, I expected more from those Ruskies, but it seemed like from the drop of the puck the Ruskies were not interested in playing. Lots of individual play, about 3 too-many-men penalties, weak back checking... very surprised they didn't at least put up some fight.
Offensively, Canada was allowed to do anything they wanted - and boy did they look good doing it. Defensively, we dominated them and didn't really allow any quality scoring chances. Loungo was fine, but not spectacular. If this comes down to goaltending, Canada likely doesn't win.
Luckily for them, the way our forwards and defense played (and hopefully will continue to play for two more games) it won't matter who is in net for Canada. Luongo was fine, and will continue to be fine as we rack up the goals at the other end of the ice.
