Those top teams often lose to the "minnows" on the world stage. At the very least the games are competitive, with the goalies keeping the games close. The Women's tournament is unfortunately much different. I remember the Americans lost once to the Swedes... otherwise Canada/US have won every single game. It's a lock they'll meet each other in the finals every Olympics. It doesn't appear like the other countries are improving in their programs.
