from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

This was about dominance.

This wasn’t about John Tortorella’s decision-making or standing for national anthems or the fact he was the wrong choice to coach Team USA or the strange roster determinations made by a behind-the-times American management staff.

This was about dominance of hockey. Dominance of style. Dominance of puck. Dominance of depth. Dominance of system. Dominance in goal. Dominance on the aggressive forecheck.

Sheer hockey dominance by the unbeaten, the undaunted and maybe the unbeatable Team Canada at the World Cup of Hockey.

This was the kind of hockey that is unquestioned and is absolute and far different from the clinical, transcendent, almost unemotional game we saw Canada play in Sochi. In an NHL-sized rink the Canadians played closer to an NHL style of game, less about puck control on the outside and more about puck aggression, a little more fun, a little more dangerous, a little more interesting.

In a one-sided, kind of interesting way.
