That's a pretty sweet highlight camera angle. Almost like watching a computer game.

Being a way better team doesn't hurt either.

Nice moves and net crashing.

They should just cancel the USA/Czech game, no one wants to see that.

That World Cup trophy from 96 looks awesome. Why did they replace it with a vase?

Kudos to the US leaving a bunch of talented guys at home so they have a bunch of grinders on their PP. Canada smartened up in the past 6-8 years and just said eff it, we're bringing the best players we don't need a checking line. The US doesn't have the depth of Canada, so if they want to compete, they can't leave talent off the roster.

I don't think he would have won a challenge on the fourth goal, but it's more likely that he would have won that challenge than the one he used.

Bishop should be in the game by now. There's precious little else that could provide a spark.

The intensity doesn't come close? Bro I'm not a cheerleader of this tourney at all, but the intensity is absolutely there.

More so almost than the Olympics. You don't really see scrums and rough stuff at the Olympics.

I had respect for Tortorella early in his career because I thought it was more of an act and he'd eventually mellow out his he got older in age. Now I think he believes in his own BS. The team philosophy from the top is ridiculous and they're fully being exposed. Hopefully they get rid of some of these prehistoric ideas of what it takes to be a successful team, and they produce a team who can score in 4 years.

This country owes Kris Draper a great debt. He made Hockey Canada understand that if they want a defensive shutdown centre, they should just bring Bergeron.

And doing this all without Benn and Seguin who would obviously be an awesome line with anyone on that team. Price needs to have a bad night for them to lose.
