So who was the SECOND best team?

[Dontdive]

I'm talking about the mens side, obviously.

I say the U.S. Nevermind that bronze medal game they didn't give a crap about, other than that the only other game they didn't look very good in was against Canada, and even then they only lost by one goal.

They're the only team I felt that (at times) could truly stay with Canada, I didn't see any other team being able to do that.

Quite obviously Sweden.

US.

No.

The U.S. played 3 top teams - Russia, Canada, Finland. If it wasn't for a $10 goal peg, they would have lost all 3.

 

[m4tt145]

Sweden, they won silver.

 

[RobertR]

Canada

 

[illpucks]

Finland.

 

[Caje]

Sweden, no doubt.

 

[maclean]

Uh, Sweden

 

[jigglysquishy]

Saying the US is just silly.

Sweden is definitely number two.

 

[Macbanan]

But I would say that USA really cared until they let in the first 2 goals. They lost fair and square to Finland. Maybe Sweden wouldn't have beat Finland if Rask had been healthy but if you look on the other hand Finland only scored once and it was pretty fluke-ish.

I'm biased but I'm gonna say Sweden. Before Canada wore them down after the first period they played fairly well. Canada was just good enough to make any team look bad.

Just keep saying that, you might actually start to believe it!

Are you kidding me?? They didn't even medal and looked HORRIBLE the last two games, when it mattered most.

Canada, Sweden, Finland........Gold, Silver, Bronze. TRUE hockey nations.

And that's how it SHOULD be.

 

[roquay]

I think Finland would have been a tougher opponent in the gold medal game.

 

[Hennessy]

Pretty obviously Sweden.

You can't just pretend the bronze medal game doesn't exist.
