While there's no doubt that the '05 team was better than the '06 team, the fact of the matter is that both teams weren't really challenged at all. And whether they were supposed to be less talented than the Americans and Russians, the fact of the matter is Canada was a much stronger team than both of those countries.
Pogge played well, but he didn't have to steal any games for Canada (much like Glass). And while he didn't have the goal support Glass got, Canada still averaged over 4 goals per game for him.
I don't think it's that far off. Pogge certainly had a tougher tournament than Glass did, but I think the only way Canada doesn't win gold in 06 was because of poor goaltending. Talent-wise, it should have been a tougher tournament for Canada, but the US never gelled, and the Russians weren't nearly as good as advertised (outside of Malkin).

So in reality, he had 1 game where he had to be excellent, and even in that game, Canada score 5 goals. He faced over 20 shots twice, and got less than 4 goals of support once.

Pogge faced an average of 20.3 shots per game, Glass faced an average of 18 shots per game. Neither were tested much.
Sorry, but he didn't have to be spectacular, and he really wasn't tested all that much. He made his saves, and did exactly what Canada needed from him, which was don't blow any games (much like Glass). I mean you could argue that if he had gotten more work he would have come up big, but the same argument could be made for Glass.
