Hopefully they won't get to use it much...but the Finns have no power play. They laid an egg against the Swedes and were not too impressive beating a depleted CZE.
I like Team USA's chances here to reach the gold medal game. USA has too much speed and intensity and physical play for the Finns, I hope. I'll take Ryan Miller anyday.
USA 4 FIN 2
I think Slovakia may make things interesting for Team Canada....Go Gabby & Pavel! (and Bronco!)
ive got the USA. they built momentum for themselves in the Canada game and even more with the 3rd period victory over the Swiss and i think that momentum will carry over into this game. USA 3-1

U.S. going for the tri-fecta on Sunday. They won the championships in U-18 games and World Junior games.

this is the farthest thing compared to the NHL. The NHL is boring compared to this type of play. The NHL should play more like these national teams play, then it may be more interesting.

On a positive note, Clutty, you signed a 3-year extension with the Wild!!
This prediction now makes me 3-382.
It took a whole 4 minutes for USA to figure Kiprousoff out.
I promised Kiprousoff I wouldn't say this. If anyone saw it, as he pulled himself from the game, he went directly to the locker room. Why? He went to the locker room to send me an email from his Blackberry to verbally attack me me for further escalating the "Goldfishdude Jinx", which is proving to be as solid as the Sports Illustrated and Madden cover jinxes.
Boy, do I stink at this game...... hopefully, I can provide entertainment.
