O Canada!
Your sport's now American!
True patriot love in Ryan Miller's hands.
With glowing hearts we see him rise,
Screaming You can not beat me!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We laugh as you cry on your knees!
God keep your land glorious and medal free!
O Canada, we laugh and point at thee.
O Canada, we laugh and point at thee.......

I agree that Miller was the difference. In fact, that's my entire point. Canada outplayed us, thoroughly, but we still beat them on opportunism, unconscious goaltending, and maybe a little luck. Canada played very hard, but they're too tight. The pressure is really weighing on them.

I thought he physical battles were pretty even, and defensively the US was really good. Canada got a lot of shots, sure, but for the most part the US didn't give them many good looks.

Canada's biggest problem right now is between the ears. They were told how great they were, and how they'd cruise into winning the gold. Now, they got taken to a SO by he Swiss, a team that they should have dominated, and lost to the US in another game that on paper they should have won.

All they're thinking about now is the Canadian media that screamed about anything less than a gold is a complete failure, and unless they can block that out, they're done.

The turnovers they committed tonight were unthinkable. Pronger had a brutal game.

The same can be said for Germany? That fact that the Suisse werethisclose the beating and Canada, and the US did beat them..... well..... Anything can happen. No one ever said Canada didn't have heart. We all owe them a moment of silence for inventing hockey - period

Can Motzie cue up a pants on da ground for this? One of the two ALREADY has "dare pants on da ground". Nothing like a free elimination game.

Brodeur's baseball swat...that was maybe the biggest fuck up of the game, and really the only goal that I would pin on him.

Dude, don't even get me started on the hate for Pronger. I'm still amazed that he even had enough brain cells to pick up, hit the talk button and answer his phone when he got the call to play for this team. Considering he has a hard time chewing gum and walking at the same time, lol.

Chris, "Youcanparkatruckbetweenmyteeththegapissobig", Pronger.

I don't know what is worse? Pronger's teeth or Crosby's lips

I don't even blame him for that. 90% of the time your expecting that to be brought down with a high stick at best.

Never mind on the ground, I divorced pants when I got home, daz.

Got it Canada caught with their pants on the ground.

Headlines: "Chokin Jochen eliminates Crobana in a tight defensive game".

Chris Pronger's teeth and Crosbys lips = The worlds scariest Vagina

Oh no, this pants on da ground isn't for Canada, it's for either Canada or Russia who now have to go first.

So when is the US playing again? What time?
