Not from what I've seen in this tournament. They were horrible against the Swedes, and Kipper was the only reason they lost by only 3 goals.
I didn't watch the Czech game, but from what I did see and read, they weren't that great in it either, and if not for Kipper, they probably don't win it.
They've only scored one goal (on a goalie) in their last 2 games going into this one, and it probably doesn't get scored if the Czech defenceman doesn't have to go retrieve his helmet from behind the net.
When Kipper is bad, he is really bad. But, he also bounces back well. If he doesn't play in the Bronze game, I expect a great performance from him on Wednesday against Backstrom and the Wild.
