3-1 Finland after two periods. Sweden-Finland and USA-Canada would be the ultimate rival semi-final match up.

Looks like Rask stood on his head to win the game for Finland.. That is tough luck for Russia, they couldn't get a break their way the entire time it seemed like.

So Nichushkin played 3 minutes and was -2? ouch.

That coach of theirs didn't put him in a very good spot to have success.

Russian coach was **** for the whole tournament.

That's absolutely unacceptable on every level for Russia. I'd be hanging my head for quite a while if I was any of them.

Pretty lame Kari didn't get the start. Worked out for the Finns, but Kari played well enough to get a 2nd start...

Mike Keenan coaching the Russian national team would be interesting. Unfortunately Kovalev has retired so he can't play the entire 60 minutes. Somehow I believe a foreign coach would do a world of good for the Russian team. At least they could equally hate someone and rally together while playing as a team and not just a group of talented individuals.

I really think missing Fedorov and Kovalev made a very significant impact on the team. I don't see players of their mentality on that current roster.

Czechs are pooping all over the U.S. right now. Surprised they don't have a second goal.
