I actually thought that period went great for Canada until the penalty call. They were doing some frustrating things in the offensive zone on occasion but they were spending a lot of time there. Other than Boldy going 1 on 2, the USA didn't have much at even strength until the last minute there.

I haven't liked the line combinations and utilizations all tournament. McK, McD and Mack are an exiting line to watch, but putting them out for a defensive draw when we're down by one is a head scratcher. They can't win a FO to save their lives.
Waiting until midway through the third in an elimination game to finally put Bennett and Marchand together... Reinhart as the 13th forward in the gold medal game, when he has back to back Stanley Cup clinching goals (including 4 goals in the last one), and is one of the top snipers (and one of the best defensive forwards) in the game.
Missing Crosby is a huge hole, but man do I ever hope we can overcome it. USA can
themselves!
