There was always someone to get the breakout pass to. And yes, Canada most certainly missed Makar. Interesting how while the US also missed Hughes on D, the next level from the US was stronger than their counterparts. At least tonight, anyway. That said, the US went into their defensive shell pretty early. Cooper doesn't seem to know who to put out there with McDavid. Marchand might work. We'll see. But first things first, put this game behind you/them. It's necessary to beat the Finns in regulation. Get focused. Finally, the Canadians betrayed themselves again tonight as they have in the past, spending two periods on emotional energy and having not much left in the tank for the 3rd. [/QUOTE]
