I actually thought Rask gave up two weak goals against Canada...Canada had a lot of zone time against Finland but generated very little in terms of scoring chances, and even less in terms of rebound type shots. The Fins did a good job of letting Canada control the puck in the part of the zone that really isn't dangerous and kept them out of the scoring zone.

Still in a one game takes all format...that one day where your goalie is on and the other teams goes Tommy Salo on you can kill off a gold medal favorite before you realize it. The gold medal isn't won for playing your best game today...but you can lose it if your opponent does. That's what makes this a tough tournament, particularly when you have to face a so called lesser team in one of these rounds. To a team like Latvia or Slovenia this is like a gold medal game to them. To Canada...it's another game on the path.
