I've set up a book for the USA Vs Canada game (y).

Watched the Canada vs Latvia game today, valiant effort by Latvia, but it was only going to end one way.

Shocked by Russia's exit but they did struggle in the final group game, the TJ Oshie show took a lot out of them.

Might have to book Friday off work to watch USA vs Canada.

If Canada continues to struggle to play together then I like USA's chances. If they get in sync then its going to be a really hard game. Hopefully Team USA keeps that confidence rolling and can take it to them early. Canada has been having issues playing against the trap, so an early lead could be huge. Their defense is better than anything USA has faced thus far, and their puck possession is nuts. Won't be easy, but if USA wins then I think Gold is theirs to lose. Sweden's group was so weak, and Finland has been okay.

Crap calls. Not a slash nor a crosscheck, should have been the 4 on 3 PP for USA, but instead its 3 on 3 and then 4 on 3 Canada.

Giving up 2 goals in 2 and a half minutes though, the girls just couldn't hang on. The goalies play on the puck for that game tying goal was ugly.

Canada looks like they want this game more. USA not helping out Quick at all, they got away from what made them successful previously.
