This picture of the Big Boss Man laying the wood on The Mountie pretty much sums up what happened last night. The US just straight turnbuckled Canada with that loss and sent them into a worse case scenario where they will have to win a qualifying game just for a chance to play the Russians. Meanwhile the US picked up the number one spot guaranteeing themselves a few days off and the winner of the Switzerland vs Belarus game. Can you say fuckin cake walk into semis?
I also gotta point out that I love the way this US team is put together. It was a major risk dumping the grey beards of Mike Modano, Bill Guerin and Keith Tkachuk but it was obvious yesterday why the torch has been passed to the young guns. It seemed that the lack of experience on the American side almost seemed to help them as they didn't know they were supposed to be scared playing against the much more experienced Canadians. Ryan Miller showed poise and termendous grit in what was probably the best game of his young career.
