Canada dominates Team USA in World Cup of Hockey, 4-2

TORONTO - Without the talent to match them, without the will to oppose them and without direction - from management down - to hang with them, the US team It was unceremoniously dominated by Team Canada Hockey Jersey at the World Hockey Cup Group A match of the preliminary round Tuesday night, losing 4-2.

The win put Canada at 2-0-0 (4 points) in group play. The defeat left the Americans to 0-2-0 (0 points) in group play and ended any possibility that they could qualify for the semifinals. US team has left a game without importance against the Czech Republic on Thursday night as Team Canada and Europe - a hodgepodge of players from countries tournament "orphans" who gave Americans their other loss Saturday - both anticipated.

The Americans entered the game knowing their backs were against the wall, basically they need two regulation wins in their last two games to advance. They talked about matching the intensity of Canada, playing a "gritty" physical and outworking and his eternal rival game.

It ended up looking like a spin-off of hockey-centric "The Walking Dead".

But it did not start that way.

Here is my take-away from the beginning of the pre-tournament game for each team.

Quick draw: After Jonathan Quick was playing a period of only two, did you end the dilemma of the goalkeeper for the United States national team? Two-time Stanley Cup champion, was sensational for the Americans who seemed to have lost a lot of the second period for most of the first half of the first period. Americans in the case that became in penalty trouble in the second of the late, Quick was the best of the American players on the ice again. John Tortorella of the United States national team coach, you want to identify the Tuesday tournament of the starter before the team of the third pre-tournament game in the evening, a quick go a long way toward solidifying its role after stopping a shot on Friday 32 33 and we have. Ben Bishop was a good play in the third, and Cory Schneider will get his first taste Saturday action in Ottawa, the performance of Quick will be a tough act to follow.
