TORONTO -- There are two ways to look at this game between Team Canada and Team USA: The better team clinched a semifinal berth, while the other has been eliminated from contention.If youve watched the World Cup of Hockey, its easy to notice why Team Canada is a powerhouse and Team USA appears disjointed. A 4-2 decisive victory over the U.S. proved how incredibly talented Canada is and why its a strong favorite to win this best-on-best tournament.The loss for the Americans will lead to many questions about why this happened and why this team was constructed in such a manner.For a team that was built to be intense and physical, that aspect was missing from Team USAs game. Its ability to break the puck out of its zone effectively, and consistently, hampered the teams ability to create a sustained attack. Scoring only two goals in two games is pathetic. Its also important to point out that as much fun as the Team North America squad is to watch in this tournament, there are a handful of Americans on that team that would add exactly what Team USA is missing.Since both Canada and Team Europe are 2-0 in the tournament, they advance. Team USA and Czech Republic will play in a meaningless game on Thursday.For all the talk about Team USAs identity and role players, you cant overlook a player like Canadas Matt Duchene. He scored two goals in the win. Hes highly skilled, will go into traffic to score and has great hands around the net. Plus, he can flat-out fly. Hes basically perfect for Team Canada because he doesnt get much attention defensively from the opposition due to the superstars on the roster. That makes him very dangerous in a tournament like this. And hes better playing the wing than at center. Theres another level to his game, however, but he hasnt reached it yet. If he can, especially in this tournament, he can help lead Canada to victory just like he did Tuesday night against the U.S.Scoring first was part of the game plan for the Americans. It helped when Ryan McDonagh gave Team USA a 1-0 lead at 4:22 of the first period, but Canada quickly responded with an onslaught. Goals 14 seconds apart from Duchene and Corey Perry gave Canada a 2-1 lead at 6:05 of the first period. Duchene added his second at 12:07 of the opening 20 minutes. Coach John Tortorella shouldve pulled USA goalie Jonathan Quick after allowing the third goal on six shots. However, it wasnt completely Quicks fault. The teams inability to break the puck out of the zone, and a bit of puck luck for Canada led to USAs first-period meltdown.?T.J. Oshie?batted home a rebound to make it 4-2,?but it was too little, too late.Three stars1. Matt Duchene, W, Canada: Duchene proved why he can be a dangerous player on a roster loaded with superstars. If he continues to play like this, hell reach elite status too.2. Carey Price, G, Canada: Even though the PA announcer at Air Canada Centre introduced him as Corey during pregame starting lineups, its a great sign for Team Canada and the Montreal Canadiens that the best goalie in the world is healthy again.3. John Tavares, W, Canada: A big-time player on the big stage complements other great players. He made a slick move to set up Patrice Bergerons goal at 8:50 of the second period to give Canada a 4-1 lead.

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. http://www.thevikingsshoponline.com/Youth-Fran-Tarkenton-Vikings-Jersey/ . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. Mike Hughes Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. Alan Page Jersey . The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach. "The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.Zlatan Ibrahimovic is pretty likely to move to the Premier League this summer and would prefer to live in London, according to Swedish football journalist Olof Lundh. The Sweden forward is out of contract at Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season and has admitted that he has received interest from Premier League clubs.The 34-year-old has been linked with a move to the likes of Manchester United, where he could potentially link up with former boss Jose Mourinho, but Lundh believes he would prefer a move to the capital. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted there is interest from Premier League clubs for his signature this summer When asked if Ibrahimovic moving to the Premier League was a possibility, Lundh told Sky Sports News HQ: It is pretty likely. In the beginning he preferred to go to the US with Miami but since David Beckham has had some problems getting the stadium ready and its not ready until 2018.I think he is looking to play in Europe at the top level and, of course, the Premier League is interesting for him. I think he would like to live in London. Whether that would be Chelsea, Arsenal or maybe even West Ham, we will see. Ibrahimovic speaks with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho I think when you talk to his colleagues in the national team in Sweden who play in the Premier League they all place him in Manchester United, of course with (Jose) Mourinho possibly coming in, but Im not sure Zlatan Ibrahimovic would like to live in Manchester.It also depends on whether Manchester United reach the Champions League for the next season. I also think he made a statement yesterday to get it out on the market that he is free, he is willing and is looking to all the offers. So it will be a couple of interesting months now when he decides. Rooney v Ibrahimovic After Zlatan Ibrahimovic hinted that Premier League clubs are interested in him, we compared the two Ibrahimovic has scored 35 goals in 40 games this season for PSG, including twice over two legs as the French side knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League to set up a quarter-final tie with Manchester City.dddddddddddd.However, despite his good form in Ligue 1, Lundh says PSG are not looking to offer him a new contract.I think he was quite open that he is leaving PSG, Lundh said. He said there are no discussions at all with the French club, I think it is possible that they are looking to bring in another star. Manchester Uniteds Juan Mata has welcomed the possibility of playing with the Zlatan Ibrahimovic next season He has pretty much won everything there is, except the Champions League where they are playing Manchester City, and I think he is looking for new adventures and the club is also looking for a new player. I think PSG is a closed chapter after this season.Despite now being in his mid-30s, Ibrahimovic has stated in the past that he is just warming up and Lundh agrees that he would add a great deal of value to any club he joins.He can make an impact; the Premier League has changed with all these foreign players coming in, Lundh said. If he gets the right coach that wants to play him he will definitely suit the Premier League, there is no doubt about it. He is such a good player that he will make an impact. Ibrahimovic scored twice at Euro 2012 but Sweden fell at the groups stages He talked very much about playing poker going into this season with a contract that was expiring and he had really delivered and even though he turns 35 this coming fall, he still is a top player and I think he thrives on showing people he can still deliver.
