Well good game, wasnt about refs even tho they took some role, uncalled highsticks while i didint like the acting about it but still uncalled. US was better but not so much that we couldn't have stolen the victory from them, smallish margnins.

Refs blatantly gave us a powerplay to make sure we wouldn't score.

2002 Olympics, womens gold medal game. Canada vs USA
American Ref. 13 penalties against Team Canada........need I say more???
Who knew that passing the puck back and forth for 1 minute with no shots would not lead into a good outcome.
Good game. Very entertaining. Finland kept it close. Looking FWD to the gold medal game.
Yeah, I seem to remember we had other really bad 2nd periods too. Anyway, we kept it even and it could have gone either way, but they clearly were the dominating team.
Having seen both matches, I kind of think Sweden is a slight favourite tomorrow - though now through to the final the USA might be little more direct and efficient tomorrow. Will be a very interesting match!

I don't care jack-shit about some f***ing Bronze game.
The Bronze medals should share both Semifinal losing teams after the semifinal games.
This type of reffing man. Missing so many calls both ways then calls one wrongly, that leads to a goal. Then tries to compensate for it and can't even make a simple (non)icing call. Swedish refs in Sweden and this Swede doesn't like it.

I’m pretty sure that he’s still alive but he changed his name and got extensive plastic surgery.
Heard he took up judo.
A very North American attitude, and of course here younger generations do imitate it - often those games can be very entertaining and something is better than nothing. I'm not hugely excited about bronze matches but they can be fun

More hockey is always fun.
It’s always sort of tongue-in-cheek.
I like seeing smaller countries compete for that bronze because it means a lot to them and their hockey programmes.
Finns are an honorable opponent with some cool fans. I think everyone can agree on that. International hockey’s most lovable team

What a f*** happened after the 1st period.
40 minutes absolute horse-shit without any goals with 2 idiotic penalties.
And that f***ing prancie Mikkola has not balls to keep any discipline into team.
I'm so f***ing done with this tournament i don't care anymore who's gonna win Bronze tomorrow.
Mikkola can grew a balls and prove that you're not nobody coach.
You're not proved nothing yet so do better job otherwise your rumored extension is a total mistake.

This. If sweden can play like they played against Canada, then USA is gonna really really hard game.
Problem is that Sweden has all the pressure and they have lost quite bit these finals in U20.
