Wow. What an absolute classic of a game. I don't think I've ever seen a game played at a pace like that. Every American kid absolutely laid it on the line tonight; blocking shots, making hits, doing whatever it takes. All those kids get a free pass for life from me(except Danny Kristo, whose free pass lasts until about late Friday afternoon). This is pretty sweet.

Also, allow me to say, with absolutely as much condescension as I can muster that maybe Canada's team wouldn't have underperformed like they did if they had taken more NCAA players.
