We did what we had to do against Russia and we proved that Canada is truly a force to be reckoned with in the Olympics. The goal now is to ensure that we don't get complacent and take the Slovaks, who beat the Swedes, lightly. They are in the semi-finals for a reason and we would make a grave mistake believing that we got the weaker team. The Slovaks gave both Sweden and Russia all we they can handle and if we don't come out with the same intensity as we did against the Russians it could be a sad night. We have four strong lines and that, more than anything else (in my opinion), is what makes team Canada the best in the world; now we have to prove it to everyone else.

Don't want to look to far ahead but I'll be pulling for Finland in the other Semis. It's not that I wouldn't relish revenge on the Americans but quite frankly Gold is more important and no matter how badly we outplay the American's we still have to Solve Miller and that is a dilemma that would be good to avoid if possible (memories of Nagano die hard)

Go Canada Go!
