Finland is going to be another tough out for Canada in the Bronze medal game.

I'm not sure Sweden can beat Finland.

It is safe to say that Canada has struggled putting the puck in the net. Especially given the amount of talent they have at forward. Too many players trying to make plays behind the net doesn't leave many out front to finish the play. Once they can figure out the lines they'll go with (soon, I hope), they should be able work they systems to have a shooter or shooters in place.

All that said, the US hasn't seen a defense close to what Canada has. They have been clicking offensively playing against relatively poor defensive teams. It will definitely be a test for Canada, though, since the US seems to be flying and playing with lots of confidence. Canada has dominated its games everywhere but on the scoreboard. A bit more confidence from the forwards and a few lucky bounces and that will change.

Neither team has seen a really good match up yet, so it should be a hell of a game.

Its to bad its such a short tourney. I would love to see a best of seven between these two.

What's with the bug up everyone's ass? Clearly there hasn't been adequate part taking of hookers and blow.

So did this blog signify the start of country bashing ? Because if not you are really asking for it by posting this.

I'd love to see Latvia and Russia play a best of 7. That way at least we'd only need to watch 4 games of this olympic garbage hockey.

This is the absolute most ignorant piece of writing I have ever laid my eyes on. And, I can barely read. I know it's meant to get a rise out of Americans for the rivalry and such. But man, how can he not read his own writing and lose about 87 brain cells...

I hope you cocky ass canadians are in for a rude awakening just because of this ARROGANT post...no matter what the intent was....I suspect a Vancouver riot friday night...

Well its only common sense. There are 16 Canadians in the top 30 NHL scorers. There are 3 Americans.

Im not saying that Canada can't lose. You have to know they are going to break out soon. They are dominating but the pucks aren't going in. Im sure 12 guys didn't just lose their skills overnight, and its not like some supernatural force is throwing all their pucks at the goaltender. The goalies are playing hot against Canada right now, and Quick will have to do the same if the USA wants to win. Plain and simple.

- HabsRUs

I hear ya. They definitely would break out soon but lets hope that we don't get to see it.

Except for when every Canadian on the cup winning team takes it to Canada. Which usually means most of the team.

I have nothing against Canadians except on Black Friday, or when they sit at a traffic light because they don't understand right on red.

a shocking percentage of them don't know Canada is that massive country right above them, so let's start with that. baby steps.
i think USA wins the game and the gold. they are the strongest looking team and if they keep it up they deserve it.
