This is a great point, Macman and saw it first hand about ten or so years ago when I was working for a company that ran hockey tournaments. Teams from Canada for years would come down and dominate the tournaments and there were relatively few fights and not much extracurricular problems. When the US teams, particularly those from the NYC area and to some extent Penn/NJ started to close the gap, all of a sudden fighting and penalties went way up.

It seems that in many ways US hockey was quick to innovate utilizing European methods and a lot more (for lack of a better word) sport science, both to try and close the (huge) gap but also due to the limited access to ice time in many areas, and now Canadian hockey has ramped up its training effort after a bit of complacency.

Take it as a compliment. Nobody cheered against the U.S. when you had no hope of winning but now you're the top threat. Of course most Canadians are going to cheer for anybody who could derail you. It's nothing more than that. Personally, if Canada can't win, I want the U.S. to keep it in North America.

Highlights???

How do you put highlights of an OT game and not include any of the losing team's goals and only good plays by the winning team? And the biased commentary of the color man is truly annoying. This is very troubling and would be blasted if it were done anywhere else.

Well it does appear to say "Team USA highlights", not "game highlights"

Don't see why it's a big deal...USA hockey puts out highlights of their team, oh no!
