Thanks for all the nice comments guys:). I really appreciate that. Although once upon a time Canada was thought to be the only hockey power, we now share the title with many countries especially the USA. I know Sweden, Finland, Czech, and Russia are hockey powers too and have been for many years, but I'm proud to have the USA finally on top with Canada. I mean the US won titles before, but they were never so powerful like this. I've never seen an American team so fast and dominant. When the US played they were matching Canada a lot of the times. When I look at Ryan Miller I see the next Roy/Brodeur, when I look at Kane I see Ovechkin's speed and movement on the ice. It could have been anyones game yesterday.
Although I was ecstatic for the win, I felt bad for two US participants. The humble and respectful Ryan Miller who never talked trash and had the up-most respect for everyone, and Bryan Burke who created the US team. With Brians passing of his son a few weeks ago just the look of his expression sitting down on the US bench looking at the ground broke my heart. But he should be very proud of beating Canada in the tournament and almost taking the gold from us.
Good game to all :)
