I watched the whole thing... that was some pretty sloppy hockey the US played 2nd period on.

2 Too many Men penalties *almost 3*

Defense turning over the puck in the offensive zone created tons of odd man rushes for Canada.

Though the US took allot of shots... most were at wide angles and high points. They never tried to really get anything in the slot until the late 3rd when they finally scored.

I was really hoping the US would take this gave but they didn't come close to deserving it.

Valid points.

Still been a good tournament for the USA and their best showing since Matt Carle's 2004 team that won it all.

US needs to regroup for the Bronze medal game.

go USA

That's a bummer. Seems the US can't get past Canada in this junior tourney, except for 2004. Canadian fans relish beating the US, so it makes these defeats even tougher.

Hopefully a bronze medal for these guys.....
