USA thru to medal round in hockey

It always comes down to goaltending, especially in these one and out deals. The Swiss nearly upset the US because of Hiller in net, the US was dominated by Canada in their game but Miller stole it for them. I have no idea what the Russians were thinking leaving Nabakov in net for 6 goals, that's bad coaching to go with bad goaltending. Would have been a real nail biter if they went with Brzgalov ( I have no idea how to spell that)

Should be a US/Canada final and with Lou in goal that may make the difference but you never know, Miller is the best goalie in the world at the moment so that's always scary.

The Swiss played real well in this tournament - took Crosby 2 shots in the SO for Canada to top 'em. I wouldn't call a US 2-0 shutout win over the Swiss "nearly an upset."

You guys up north need to quit with the excuses - Miller certainly did keep us in that game, but I'd say the 5 goals we scored is what won the game. Sorry, but no team, not even mighty Canada can win a game on scoring chances.
