What an utter dismantling. Outside of the first 5 minutes Canada simply dominated in every zone. I agree this is probably the best Team Canada ever.

These teams aren't bad. Canada was just amazing defensively. 6 guys in their prime.

Most of the team in their prime actually.

This is exactly like the Bruins and Canucks game 7 in 2011....one of the 10 best games ever.

With victory nearly assured do NHL rivalries start factoring into the equation? Bergeron start wacking Crosby in the head repeatedly on the bench, Doughty firing slappers into the ankles of Getzlaf and Perry.

It all starts Tuesday.

Crazy that any team can only surrender a trick play goal in almost 180 minutes of play.

Kinda sad that a Latvia team is way better than the Buffalo Sabres

Why? Sudafed definitely does give a boost and has been a pretty popular drug in pro sports for years for at least perceived performance enhancement.

When was the last time a team got a shutout for gold?

[Jets4Life]

Is it random testing on the team or do all players get tested? I have a feeling other players used "banned substances" but weren't tested.

Healy is a moron.

GOLD!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!

Puck patience. Its all I can say. Truly Canada has never once panicked with the puck. And my vote goes to price . ...back to back shut outs. That is all.
