So explain how you see the Olympic involvment differently than the World Cup?

You took that wrong. If anything what I am saying is a compliment to Finland.
I am saying teams like Canada and the USA don't adjust their goals after they are eliminated from gold contention, they just don't care anymore. Where as a team like Finland still cares about the bronze even though they weren't able to accomplish their overall goal.
Let's be honest here if Canada lost on Friday we wouldn't care half as much because in the words of Ricky Bobby, "If you ain't first, you're last." Quite frankly it's gold or bust for Canada and the USA.
