They didn't need one after the first though, it was obvious after the 2-0 goal that they were comfortable out battling the Canadians and playing a solid team defense first game. They play the exact game they wanted to.
Canada was overwhelmed in the first offensively then reduced to outside scoring chances in the second half of the game by a great team defense.
It just goes to prove that teams with all the individual talent in the world can be beaten by a great team with good systems.
