"I find your lack of faith (in team USA) disturbing" especially considering USA is currently 6-0 against Fins in the 1st period.


I must say I was a tad surprised at Finland's performance being able to get through to the semis. Before the tourney I questioned whether they would even make the quarters but they were in the weakest of the groupings. I was very surprised to see them make it past the Czechs. When your best player is a Toronto Maple Leaf castoff you are in for a rough ride in a tournament like that. Likely only to get worse for the Fins too - their most skilled players are getting up there in age and may not be around for the next Olympics. The US on the other hand will challenge for gold the next couple of Olympics with this young team.

Let's just hope Canada holds up their end of the bargain and we get the North American final everyone has been hoping for!
