Tim's Two Cents-February 22

Goalie Ryan Miller as Member of the Buffalo Sabres

Canada Versus U.S. Lives Up to the Hype.  It was one heck of a game as the U.S. beat Canada 5 to 3 yesterday.  It seemed a lot more physical than any women's hockey game. 

Goalie Ryan Miller was outstanding in front of the net making spectacular save after spectacular save.  As far as Canada's situation, they were the more aggressive team but they didn't seem to get many breaks.  The star power of the game was like watching an NHL game because every player is on an NHL team.  Call me crazy, but I thought it was more exciting than a regular season NHL game.  It was surprising that Martin Brodeur allowed as he did for Canada, given the career he has had up to this point.

So Canada continues to have an underwheming games in their home.  Good luck to USA in the next round against either Switzerland or Belarus.
