Your last point, Canada only wins the OT compliments of a bad goal allowed by Miller.

The OT winner wasn't a bad goal, it was a one on one situation with the best player in the world. Not many goalies stop that.
Those games show the US are able to exploit good goalies having bad games. They didn't exploit good goalies when Luongo played in the final for example and didn't exploit good goaltending in the two games against Switzerland.
