In The Spotlight

G Ryan Miller

Arguably the best goaltender in the NHL this season has performed admirably for the Buffalo Sabres. Expected to be the starting goaltender, he brings good size, technical skills and athleticism to the American net.

D Erik Johnson

Johnson is the best all-around defenseman that America has produced in years. At only 21, he's got a wealth of international competition, representing America in both the World Juniors and the World Championships in 2007. He will play in all situations and against the top lines of other teams.

LW Zach Parise

Parise has developed himself into a player that is dominant in all areas of the ice. Because of this, he will play on the top line with the American team and get plenty of ice time in key situations.

Key to this game is Miller, and I can't wait to see which was it goes. If Miller plays well, the Gold is USA's. If not, then barring a major performance from USA's forward-line, the Gold will go to the home-country.

Canada played it's best game when there was one line to key on defensively. Hopefully Getzlaf & co. will shut down the suddenly super-hot Kane.

Then the rest of the team just needs to go out and play the way they can.
Should be a great game.

It is games like what we have seen in this tournament that give a lot of weight to the argument that the NHL needs to contract to 20 or so teams.

Man, that was a tough one to go through. Sure did have it's up and downs. But in the end I really can't complain about a Silver with this team. Great effort by the USA boys. The only thing that makes me mad is WHY THE HELL DID IT HAVE TO BE CROSBY?!?!?!?!?!?! He didn't do anything all game, if we had to lose in ot I wish it would have been Toews he worked hard all tournament and all game.

Even as a Canadian I have to agree. Toews, Getzlaf, Doughty, Perry... It seems unfair that this is another feather in Crosby's cap, and another spotlight moment for him after he was rather ineffective all tournament.

There were others who deserved the glory that goes along with this goal more than Crosby does.

I'm in this camp for sure. Happy for Crosby and the Gold medal, but it's sad that the entire Olympics are going to be defined in Canada by "his goal".

Exactly, there were so many guys that worked, and played better than him all tournament long. I would have had no problem with any of those guys scoring.
