We want that pressure, four lines going all the time.Canada won Group A and will face North America or Russia in the first semifinal Saturday night, with Russia getting the spot with a win Thursday in the preliminary round finale against Finland. Europe will play Group A winner Sweden in the semifinals.I didnt think either team probably had the emotion theyve had, Canadian coach Mike Babcock said. Both teams knew they had advanced. You know, as much as I think our guys really tried to get the emotional level at a high level, we were casual with the puck. We made mistakes we dont normally make, and saying that, we had the puck a lot, could have scored lots of goals. And their goalie was good.Sidney Crosby and Logan Couture also scored, and Corey Crawford made 19 saves in his World Cup debut.That was pretty special, Ive waited a long time, he said. Watching as a kid, watching Olympics, watching world juniors. Its a pretty special feeling to put that jersey on. Having friends and family and my parents here, it was a great feeling.Crawford gave up the only goal when Marian Hossa -- normally his teammate with the Chicago Blackhawks -- knuckled a puck past him from a sharp angle in the second period.I dont know what I was trying to do there, Crawford said. Ill probably hear about that the rest of the year.Jaroslav Halak stopped 42 shots for Europe.I thought Canada did an amazing job of getting in the lanes and taking away any opportunities we had, Europe coach Ralph Krueger said.
