    sweden/finland, WOW. love sweden getting backed by a lundqvist shutout and two goals from hagelin. some good blueshirt representation right there! lundqvist has been just locked in during this tournament.

    glad to see russia go but a US/Russia, canada/russia gold medal game would have been nuts.

    I really wanted a USA-Russia final.

    Oh well.

    Not shocked Russia lost. They don't have enough heart. I really hope USA and Canada win and play Friday at 11central. If they do I'm taking off work and getting tanked with prenoon beers and whiskey.

    So if you hear about a one man post game riot in Nashville you will know what started it. I even have an American and Canadain jersey so I could just be for whoever wins( I'm kidding I would never do that. In fact rule in the Weber jersey can't leave closet during Olympic year.)

    Canada just barely beat them in overtime. Finland's really good!
    I am hoping for a Canada/US final again. It'll be so fun when Canada wins again. :D

    Russia didn't play well as a team and did not handle the pressure of playing at home, if they got behind or frustrated they tried to do it themselves. I don't think it's easy playing at home in the Olympics when your considered a hockey country and one of the favorites. We struggled at times in Vancouver, we also had our moments, Russia struggled the entire tournament. But I'm glad that since the playing field became even in '98 Russia is 0-5.

    I just hope the whole team doesn't get sent to the Gulag! Putin must be pissed! :P
