Gold medal again!!!!!!
Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done boys. 5-0 against the Russians. For the team with only 1 returning player from last year ( Cam Barker, who didn't even play in the medal round last year because he had mono ), the team that was supposed to be nothing much, the medal was totally deserved because they worked their butts off! Kudos to Sutter for a great coaching job.
So much for the supposed-to-be great Team USA. Sorry to my American friends, but we heard a lot about how they had 8 players back from '05 and Kessels is really great. I watched a couple of their games expecting to be dazzled. Guess not. I was impressed by their goalie, Schneider, who is a Canucks draft pick.
So much for the much vaunted Evgeni Malkin. Didn't do anything really. Managed his offensive player award for being good earlier in the tournament obviously.
Can't wait for next year in Sweden. Three in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!
