Well, that's very nive of you to say so, personally I had to go to bed after two periods as I thought they were totally outplayed by the US and it was too painful to watch. The really bad thing from the point of view of the development of the women's game is that the coach will get the bla,e and a woman may well not get the chance to coach the National team next time. Actually Canada played better in the last 20 minutes and almost tied it up with a minute left,,,and Rheaume would have had one goal if her own d-man hadn't deflected the puck. We rely on the men now...with US losing 4-1 to the Czechs it could be the old firm lining up for the gold...Canada v. Russia. With Roy and Hasek both in top form it could be a long and goal-free semi-final!.
