Hopefully they take the bronze. I guess an added plus is we don't have to play him.

I have to say he looked absolutely
crushed on the bench, but I doubt it will mean anything when he gets back to Calgary. If I had to guess, he might not even dress for the bronze game, because they have to go with Bäckström now.
Neutral zone, defense, goaltending, they just all crumbled like a row of dominoes for Finland. They weren't even putting pucks into the US zone, but just kept feeding them with turnovers in the neutral zone. I had no idea it was even possible to be embarrassed worse than the Russian were.
The positive side is that USA versus Canada is clearly the right final for the games. Two best teams by far.
