USA Finland Hockey

The USA Finland hockey game was actually quite disappointing. The United States quickly scored six goals in the first and skated to the 6-1 win over Finland on Thursday. Finland’s only goal came in the final period after the US goaltender Ryan Miller skated off the ice for a well deserved rest. This is Miller’s second shutout during the Olympic hockey tournament.  Patrick Kane had two goals and Zach Parise, Paul Statsny, Erik Johnson and Ryan Malone, all had one goal each. The US men’s hockey team has posted a 5-0 record and will now play Canada in the gold-medal game on Sunday.

Canada on the other hand, did not have as easy time of a time against Slovakia in their semifinal hockey game. The final score was 3-2, but Canada had a three nothing lead going into the last nine minutes the game before they began to give up the two goals. This gave the Slovakian team a shot in arm as they continually pounded the Canadian goal. The game came down to last few seconds with Slovakia threatening to tie the game. There are some concerns as to whether or not, Canada will be able to strengthen their defenses as well as be able to shore up its offense, as it has been a little bit out of sorts.

Finland and Slovakia will be playing for the bronze medal on Saturday, while the United States and Canada rest for their final match up that will be on Sunday. This will be probably one of the most watched hockey games as these two rivals meet again. Canada is certainly looking for revenge after their loss to the United States last week and hopefully the USA Finland hockey game will not make the Americans overconfident, as well as too reliant upon their successful goal tender.
