That was a lot of fun. Canada played everyone else very tough - only lost to Australia by 4 I think. They were getting trounced by AUS in the first quarter and just kept plugging away. I think the drop off is between #1 and #2. Everyone else in this tournament has looked pretty ordinary including both AUS and RUS. I would not be surprised by any results in the other quarter finals.
I do think Geno is a great coach for this team like Mike is for the men. Able to blend egos and talents, define roles, and allow freedom, but demand commitment on the defensive end.
Even with the missed shots, the defense on this team is so stiffling that it really doesn't matter. And someone will get hot, and everyone else will feed off that.

Thanks so much for this ... I just got out of a meeting and read through where I left off this morning and I have a real feel for the game. I appreciate people taking the time to help out those of us stuck doing other things.
Gracias.

... we already pay 500 per month for the phones, etc. How much does the media need from me? Grrrrr...

$500 per month? Where are you, Russia?
