True, but I honnestly don´t see it as such big problem in this particular case, Blowouts happens, in the Juniors all the time, It is not their first blowout, such... I call them "dumb matches" happens time to time. Especially because up to 38th minute it was one fantastic hockey match from both sides, we were even outshooting and outplaying USA in the 2nd period like no one did in this tourney... but then came the 4th and 5th goals within 30 seconds at the end of the 2nd and a horrible game from both reserve goalies in this game (Seriously one of the worst goaltending match I remember, it was like every USA´s shot ended in the net ) and that was the end... from third periode´s 6th goal we benched both our top lines and the bottom lines played their Ice times in the last 20 minutes, so not really surprising a quite entertaining equal game until then ended by a complete blowout. No worried about the moral problem I assure you, our guys will forget this game by tomorrow. The main problem is we just do not know to play them. From all eventual opponents in the quarters we will have to face exactly the one we just do not know to beat at any level at any category... our seniors did not beat Finland since 2003.. the longest current winless streak of our hockey teams..

and yep, unless another German miracle later today it will be Finland for us... So, yeah, our cryptonite, talk about a reward for finishing 2nd of the group
