Canada looked terrible in the 1st. Just one of those games where they couldn't complete a pass, cover a man, or do anything right. USA looked very solid, and dangerous. Bedard scoring just before the period break was huge for CAN, who looked.... bad.
After that, the rest of TC finally showed up. Fantilli played his best game. Wright, to me, played a solid defensive game. Still not crazy about some of the Dmen, and i thought TC was very lucky that they didn't have one of those international refs that calls everything, as they seemed determined to hit the US at every attempt, and IMO, were very near to crossing the line with late hits.
The interference calls were both correct. The reffing, in general, was pretty good, especially compared to some of the abominations I have seen over the years.
I can't blame the US goalie, but clearly, after letting in a so-so 1st goal, Milic was the best player on either team.
