I guess Bronze is better than nothing (sorry USA).

Why did not Finland play this good yesterday.

But all is well as long as Canada destroys Sweden. 8)

I didn't watch a single game this entire Olympics.

Speedskating is boring as hell, but they won like 15 medals at it, so I'm proud of my tiny, puny country :P

Rask had the flu (or other cold/flu symptoms) yesterday - thus he didn't play.
Had Rask played, I don't think Sweden would have won.

OH.

And another proof that Finland is small.

I picked my little sister from work hour ago, and on the drive home we were talking about the game and my sister mentioned that her friend is cousin of Rask.

Today was a tough day for me -- was cheering for the US (obviously) and Finland (there are, and have been a lot of Fins on the Minnesota Wild team).
Would have been interesting had Mikko not been hurt and able to play

USA got crushed because they failed to get up for the game, due to the demoralizing loss to Canada the day before.  Finland has a good team and it showed but Canada defense was spectacular.  Standing up at the red line to force a play before they even entered the zone, great back check.  There was no doubt who the best team was.
