congrats 2 Canada. but i think USA were slightly better + they didn't lose single match in the tournament before the finals. i was greatly disappointed with our (Czech) team. after we won olympics in Nagano and had other significant succes (like winning 3 world championship in a row) it seems the team lacks it's power now. i'm sad to say that in Europe only Sweden and maybe Russia can compete with Canada now :/
and btw. the olympic finals game was absolutely fantastic.
