Last night I watched my first game of the WJC. I was very disappointed. As much as I hate to admit it (I’m a Canadian) USA was the better team. Here are 3 players that were really good for them:
3: Alex Turcotte. He scored a goal. He was a big scoring threat for that team.
2: As much as I hate to admit it, he was the better goalie. He’s going to be Florida’s starter.
1: Zegras. I don’t even need to say more.
3 Canadian players now.
3: Bowen Byram was good as an offensive defence man for Canada, but struggled defensively.
2: Levi was a good goalie too. He got a record for sv%!
1: He didn’t do well in the final game, but he lead them in scoring. He was their best player.
Side note, Hivronen scored the winning goal for Finland in the game vs Sweden! Also, Neimala was the top dman of the tournament. That a good sign for the leafs.
Nothing against tourigny but the gold medal game definitely came down to coaching. US did a great job at parking the bus against a very talented Canadian offense with a little help from Knight.

They weren't expecting the U.S. to score so they panicked.
