I recorded it and then a friend texted me to say they lost.. so I'm not going to watch it.. I read teh TSN transcript.. sounds like penalties did them in. This is a crap selection of players for TC but those refs are extra-terrible this year.. no way Canada should have that many more penalties than anyone else.. I saw the all the games (except for the last one) most of the calls were butter soft.. and lots not called the other way.. not that we had a functioning power play anyway..
It wasn't like Canada running around running guys undisciplined.. most of the penalties were marginal interpretations by weak refs.
Here's the Stats for penalties.. Canada has the most.. double the USA.. which is BS for an entire tournament.. no way USA didn't have similar infractions..
TC essentially played shorthanded for almost a period a game.
IIHF is garbage

Cameron is awful.. he's always been awful.. .. I suspect he keeps trying to get back to coach TC for the massive exposure he gets because he thinks he can use it to slip his way back into the NHL
Anyway.. Hope our real team eviscerates the 3 nations we play in February.
