Jake Allen stops Jordan Schroeder, Canada wins...
USA will take on Finland in the Quarterfinal. Canada scored on all 3 shootout attempts, which is unfortunate since Campbell outplayed Canada's Jake Allen tonight. Canada erased a 2 goal deficit in 4:15. US should be deflated after this one. they outplayed Canada for 50 minutes, but Canada showed that you cannot take your foot off of this team's throat. They are too talented, and can just turn it on at will it seems. The US needs to use this as a learning experience. They are capable of outplaying Canada, and they showed that. But for them to medal, and they still have a chance to win this tourney since this was just a preliminary game, they have to bring it for the full 60 minutes.
This was a great game. Lots of emotion, the crowd was electric, and 15 first round draft picks on display. US goalie Jack Campbell and Candian counterpart Jake Allen both showed flashes of brilliance. Danny Kristo, Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan, Brian Lashoff and Tyler Johnson all looked very impressive. I hope these two play again, but for the gold medal.
