After beating Russia 2 - 1 and gaining a bye into the semi-finals, Canada came apart in the game against the U.S. losing 5 - 1. It would be easy to blame Subban who was pulled in the second period after letting in 4 goals, but to be honest he was only part of the problem
The truth is the Americans simply outplayed the Canadians. They controlled the puck, their goalie was at the top of his game and is the best in the tournament and they skated rings around the Canadians. Canada started off weak and never improved. You could see the holes in the Canadian game in earlier match ups, but they became chasms today.
Canada will play for the bronze against either Sweden or Russia.
