I respect the Canadians , they are the favorite to win the gold medal , no doubt. However You did get beat by the American, i just like to see respect given where its due.
If your gonna blame the Canadian loss on bad goaltending then you almost have to do the same for the Russian loss tonight. I understand homerism, I am here during the flames games too.... its the same story during those games!!!
I am rooting for a Canadian, American final. For this American team to be playing for gold and/or getting a silver medal is a huge feat for this young bunch. We both got one more game to play to meet each other. Good luck!

Did you even watch that game? The only reason that Canada didn't destroy the US team like they did Russia was Miller stood on his head and Canada's forwards were snake-bitten. They outshot the US 18-3 int he third period. It's not arrogance, it's just that anyone knowledgeable hocley fan could see that the teams aren't even in the same league.
My prediction, Friday's game between Canada and Slovakia is the gold medal. Slovakia is the second best team in this tournament (ii've been saying this to my coworkers for about a week now). The winner of this game will be the gold medal champion. Mark my words, if Canada beats Slovakia (Slovakia can definitely beat them), Canada will absolutely trounce the US if they play them again. Not a good outcome for the NHL if their goal is to acquire more US fans.
