.....well, this isnt' going well.....
I would like to see the U.S turn it up...and get 2 back, one from Kessler and one from either TJ or Kessel

Kessel needs to get really upset and go back and score a boatload in Toronto....... JVR as well

....well getting a couple of goals back allow you to go out of a game like this with a bit of momentum and some positive bench vibes.....Kane tho'....definitely not his best game..

At least it looks like the finns decided to show some mercy late in the game.

Re: Fin-usa

...well Guys.....I'm sorry about that loss. The U.S guys got off their game a bit in the last 2 games and things went south...and that is the way things can change quickly and why these tournaments are so damn tricky....and we Canadians know, just ask us about the World Juniors over the last few years!
So great time to start thinking about the rebuild for next one!!
Regards,
BP

I can't believe what I just watched.
The USA needed to turn it up in the 2nd, and they did for a while.
I think its a combination of the defeat yesterday, 2 quick Finn goals, and playing an opponent who is slowing you to play at their pace.
I would have never predicted this outcome.
The young Finn team are a speedy bunch though.

Thanks! I remember the semifinals in Vancouver 2010, USA beat us 6-0. Today was our turn.

I am so glad I was busy all day today with no chance at looking at a tv or Internet till it was over ... Refused to watch the replay ... Congrats Finland on the bronze! Go Canada!
