Finland 5, USA 0
Try telling the Fins that a Bronze medal doesn't mean much. Selanne goes out swinging with his 4th Olympic medal, leaving an overall scoring record that will be hard for anyone to beat. This game meant a lot to those guys, in fact it meant everything. To the USA it obviously meant next to nothing, like it was beneath them.
Makes me wonder what would have happened had Rask been fit enough to play in their game against Sweden. Would it be Canada playing Finland in the final? We'll never know. What I do know is that the Fins played their hearts out today, and the Americans join Russia in their misery.
I predict a 3-2 Canada win for gold tomorrow, followed by a somewhat subdued closing ceremonies (because it wasn't a complete medal sweep for Russia) and a final declaration that these games were all-in-all a great success.
