Crazy the Fins are gonna medal without Koivu, Fil and Barkov. Rask is something else.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

It's a sign, we get Alex Steen at the trade deadline!

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Wow. USA meltdown.

[Guest RyaN_84]

[miksteri 55]

Salaami scores again! 4-0

[Yeti 244]

wow... this is disappointing

[Guest RyaN_84]

wow. Poor USA.
Just..wow.. I have no words...

Both teams lost to their rivals yesterday, and neither must have been thrilled about playing today instead of the Gold medal game.

However, Finland came to play for the Bronze. The US doesn't look like they want to be there.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

I don't feel sorry for them. They don't give a s***.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Just cause I've always loved the guy, I really really want Selanne to finish the hat trick.

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

Go Finland!!

[FlashyG 1,799]

This is something that has always bothered me about North American teams. When we lose in the Semi-finals we go through the motions in the Bronze medal game and always get shelled.

Its why when making medal predictions I will only put Canada and USA in Gold, Silver or out of the medals.

Hats off to Finland though, not only did they show up to play without most of their center depth they put to rest all the questions about their offence with this win. I have to wonder if they'd be playing tomorrow if Rask had've been healthy for their game vs Sweden.

After watching the past two games; I would like to hear Burke say that Bobby Ryan was still not good enough to make this team... just two goals these Olympics against good teams. And no I don't count the Czech Republic as a good team. This team just wasn't ready to compete in the elimination rounds. Just a complete collapse; the Women's team lost to Canada, but at least they showed some heart. The men's team just laid down and become a doormat. So frustrating.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Wow that goal was dirty!

[Guest RyaN_84]

HAHAHAHAHAH

5-0!!!
USA just doesn't care anymore!!!

[miksteri 55]

5-0 Määttä scores, im impressed by the play of Määttä & Vatanen, 2 kids on the defense

[DickieDunn 2,571]

Hmmm, a team build by Brian Burke underperforming. Where have we seen that before?

finald wins gold with fil in

is it me or does all bylsma teams choke in big games?

[FlashyG 1,799]

Just cause I've always loved the guy, I really really want Selanne to finish the hat trick.

You're forgiven because you're from Winnipeg and I'm sure he is special to the city.

His whining about refereeing vs the Wings and team Canada have soured me on him completely. Legend for sure, but he'll never be among my favorites.

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Congratulations to Selanne on his bronze medal in his final olympics.

Finland just wants it more, hey coaching/front office stuff how would that desaster waiting to happen (Yandle) look now ?

[wings87 1,290]

I'm so embarrassed, I'm going to change my citizenship like Victor Ahn.

HAHAHAHAHAH

5-0!!!

Don't think they every cared, it was just an illusion.

I've already decided I'm joining the Dutch speed skating team.

They didn't choke in one big game I recall.

Bylsma/Burke combo = cup parade planned, then a massive letdown
