Once Canada started cycling in the 2nd the skill level of the US got exposed. We're a great grind team, but just don't have the skill to match chances with Canada.

He just didn't look comfortable at all IMO, seemed to lack confidence and was fighting everything. It didn't really lead to goals but I think it did give Canada some life.
First time playing in such a big game and it likely got to him a little bit.
Fucale on the other hand went through games like this on the road to the Memorial Cup and it showed in his poise.
