It doesnt matter. All of them are top goalies. They arent the problem for this US team.

I do think they picked the 3 best American born goalies, that's about the only position they got right. I'm surprised they didn't pick Ryan Miller over Schneider, just to kiss his ass for 2010. Seemed like they would do some dumb **** like that and snub Schneider. He's still called elite because of that tournament and entire season, when he's been dead average ever since.

Craig Anderson is solid, but shouldn't have made it over any of these 3.

I can't say they picked the 14 best forwards or whatever it was, nor the 7 or 8 best defensemen.
 
I dont see what everyone are complaining about? We outhit them 27-9 tonight. We won the game!

U.S.A thought they were building a team to beat Canada but instead they built a team that couldn't beat anybody.

Buff has always been a pos. Remember when he punched Perry in the back of the head after he scored a goal?

You should update your look on him then. Every Lightning fan will tell you he has been an absolute rock behind our team and that he was the #1 reason our team even made the playoffs because they sucked a lot last year during the regular season. What has Schneider, for example, done to be regarded as better goalie than Bishop?

Career save percentage a full .005 higher than Bishop. .925 vs. .920. That's a decent margin.
 
Minor skirmish at the end with Buff. Nothing to it. Buff was the best USA player tonight, by a mile. Only player that looked like he cared about the game.

Actually has to carry a team that isn't privileged to have Hedman, Stamkos, Palat, Johnson, Kucherov, Stralman etc while having a career save percentage .005 % higher than Bishop.

Perry deserves our sympathy... such a clean and upright player should never get cuffed like that.

The czechs deserve some credit too

Especially how much they've been decimated first injuries. Krejci and Hertl shortly before the tournament and at the end only had 10 forwards left when they got even more injuries during the tournament.

Everyone is half Buff's size.

And that was a punch of congratulations.
 
From Silver in Olympics 2010 to 4th place at the Olympics in 2014 to this. Sad.
