Well, we start slow again. 3-1 loss to Team USA in our first exhibition game. Apparently got the early lead then sat back. Kudos to the US for a strong forecheck.
I'm seeing parallels to Salt Lake. Lost the first game to a good forechecking team, which served as a wakeup call. The D is a little younger this year (loss of Blake and Pronger is huge), so other teams may have a better chance to force turnovers.
On the good side, Brodeur was sharp, stopping 18/18 shots in the 30 minutes he played. And Mario sat out, as did St Louis and Richards.
