There has been a number of disappointments over the last few days, that's for sure.

I agree. The US played well right out of the gate and a lot better in the third, but overall Canada definitely outplayed the US team. The difference was simply goaltending. Miller had an incredible night while Brodeaur had far from that.

Incredibly frustrating to outplay another team and lose.

Yeah, the one he batted out of the air was just a total brain fart.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Pronger and Scott N should have been replced by someone younger and faster this time around. eg Mike Green. Enough of the 'Boys Club'

I found quote this on the CTV sports website.
"(Ryan Miller) is the best goalie in the world," said Team USA defenceman Jack Johnson. "He was absolutely phenomenal and the reason we won that game. He bailed us out tonight when we were on our heels."
It's 'nice' that the USA players recognize why they won the game. For some reason it doesn't make me (and I'll bet the other 30+ million Canucks) feel any better.
I heard one of the players (Crosby I think) say after the game "it's a puck possession game". Right now I'm thinking no it's not. It's a 'put the freakin puck in the net' game. Sheesh.
And I am tired of guys (commentators) saying crap like "it's not time to worry or don't panic"
These players need to play with a much greater heightened sense of urgency. In the last 2.5 minutes they showed what they are really capable of (not counting Perry's apparent lack of effort on the empty netter). They should have a lot more shifts like that. They must have the legs for it. They only play 15 minutes a game.
Oh yeah, put Fleury in net. Remember him. He's the guy that won the Stanley Cup last year and was a hero in game 7.

Maybe Phaneuf??
Bouwmeester would have been a good choice. But all that aside, we have more than enough talent to win. I agree with Paul, it's the effort and scoring that's lacking. Incredible, when you think of who our forwards are.
I predict we'll see Luongo in net against Germany.

I know at home I told him to get back in the F-in net a few times every time he step out they got a scoring chance i was actually hopping they would pull him after the first.
Someone else mentioned Mike Green I can't understand how he didn't make the team we have problems scoring the last few Olymipics. He is a mobile puck moving D man and he can also put the puck in the net! it still baffels me who we can't put the puck in the net with all of the snipers we have
We play Germans and IF we win that we play Russia....looks like no medal again this year unless something drastic changes.
If we don't get medal i think we should be like Sweden when they had their meltdown in Turin every newspaper in Canada should have the teams pictures on the front page with the headline saying Failures or Canadas biggest disapointments, Swedens said Traitors!!!
