Olympics Hockey: Day Nine

USA vs Finland - 6-1 win puts USA in the gold medal game



Um, this game was won in the first period. Unreal goal scoring explosion by the Americans.

And unreal goaltending by Miikka Kiprusoff. And by "unreal" we mean, idiotic.


Ryan Miller was yawning for most of the game which isn't unusual for him at all. Recently.

Finland did try to mount a comeback but everyone knew it was over by the first intermission.

Canada vs Slovakia - With a 3-2 win, Canada advances to the gold medal game



The Canadians scored two in the first then another in the second.

But it was all Slovakia in the third.


We were all a little nervous for them. But we liked the chants of "We Want USA" by the crowd.

Slovakia gave a good fight but it just wasn't enough.

The US game was exciting in the 1st period (and by exciting I mean fun watching all those goals), but then it got kind of boring. Conversely the Canada game didn't seem all that exciting at first (who wasn't expecting the Canadians to come out fighting?), but then the 3rd period really got interesting. Blend these two teams together and you've got yourself a game that may be even more intense than a SCF game 7. Unreal. Bring it people!
