And actually let in what was probably a soft goal by his standards with the Niedermeyer goal in the finals.
But in the end your point is right.
2002 and 2010 are both looked at more favorably than things like 2004, 2014, and 2016 because they beat the US in the finals.
Think the 1987 Canada Cup is looked at more than 1984 for a similar reason - they beat the Soviet Union in the finals when in 1984 it was Sweden.
