wow, kane practically saying the US team didn't even try to win bronze:

"We were playing against a team like Finland, who probably appreciate those bronze medals a little bit more than we could. It would have been nice to bring it home, but it obviously didn't work out that way. But I still thought we had a good tournament and proved ourselves that we're a good hockey country."

That has got to be one of the most condescending egotistical remarks ever. Bad show america.

what he said is not wrong though. The Finnish players appreciate those medals more than we would have. maybe shouldn't have said it but not really wrong.

He's not really right. Finland only wanted the gold as well. They just aren't as bad at losing as the US team.

hmmmmmm

USA

2 - Gold

8 - Silver

1 - Bronze


Finland

0 - Gold

2 - Silver

4 - Bronze

No idea what you're trying to say there.... Do you think that Finland is specifically aiming for bronze and avoiding gold on purpose?

I'm saying it looks like they are better at losing, overall.
