The US men's coach, Herb Brooks, made the comment that the Canadian team played a terrific game and that the US team didn't have any legs left after their tough semi final game against the Russians while the Canadians had a relatively easy walk through to the finals. You could tell that the US didn't have the "jump" against Canada that they had Friday night against Russia. That doesn't detract from the fantastic performance of the Canadians in the gold medal game. They gave us a lesson in how the game should be played.
