I guess Canada's subpar competition has caught up with them where they're now in a real battle. I personally thought Canada would win this one 7-1, but they've looked a slight step behind the States.
On a side note, I remember watching this tournament 15 years ago and you knew these weren't NHLers. These days the level of play has increased so much. While most of these guys won't make it, the level of play is so much faster and skilled then it was 15 years ago.
