Yeah, it does. Now we'll have to play Russia in the quarterfinals (assuming we get buy Germany, wow, we better get by Germany) instead of the Finals which was really the matchup that most people were looking forward to. THAT game is not going to be easy and it's a really, really tough draw. Anyways Canada outshot USA 45-23 and appeared to dominate for the most part, but they did continually make stupid and costly errors and our veterans on defense, especially Niedermeyer, were simply getting outworked. Some questionable coaching moves on Canada's part may have also contributed, but really, Ryan Miller wasn't letting anything past him. Christ, the Americans could ride the Miller train pretty far and do some serious damage in this tournament.
