Swiss Cheese

Team USA held off the fiesty Swiss to claim a 6-4 victory in the World Juniors tonight. With the win, the US squad is now 2-0 in pool play headed into Wednesday's showdown with hated Belarus. But the play of goalie Al Montoya has to be a concern for the coaching staff. He was shaky at times against the Russians on Saturday. Tonight he was even worse, giving up two incredibly soft goals. A weak link in the nets probably won't cost the US when they play teams like Belarus. But if Montoya doesn't get it together soon, there won't be a repeat of last year's championship for Team USA.
