[dash]

Where would you rank Selanne all-time? I don't know if he cracks the top 10, but he's gotta be top 20...

11-15 area dash think of the dead puck era he played through as well he's incredible the 2005 lockout gave him these extra 9 years

Man USA sure dropped a egg in this game. Compete level was about 0. Grats to Finland they played a great game.

If he stayed healthy in the early 2000s (playing on one leg in San Jose and Colorado), probably up in that top-20 range. As it stands, there have been a lot of good hockey players, and he is definitely one of them.

Idk, the effort was pretty good for most of the early part of the game. But that Euro trap Finland started playing after the two goals really started wearing on them.

ahh stop it finland we're already dead!

Okay, now this is an embarrassment for USA hockey. Heads will roll.

They came out strong in the first but it disappeared quickly. Get home a day early or get the bronze. Go home a day early every time

At least Kessel can enjoy his sister's silver medal....

...too soon?

 

[hokiehi21]

lol US just refuses to stay out of the box

 

[quoipourquoi]

Okay, Kane. You need to chill out.

 

[thedddd]

Great job Finland and the results I honestly expected from team USA.

 

[BF4L]

Ya you guys are probably right..

I cant wait for NHL hockey again.

Fins capitalized on their changes, US didn't. Other than the past few minutes of this period, don't think there was any lack of compete level.

I don't think either team was markedly better as far as zone time of quality of chances, Fins messed up a bunch on defense, and the US didn't capitalize on those chances.

Wow. Gotta be one of the worst games from an Olympian in a long time from Mr Kane today..

 

[quoipourquoi]

Gotta love that Bronze medal. You get to leave with a win. Congratulations to Finland.

I love how everyone blames Kane like it is his fault. How about everyone not taking stupid penalties and people being able to kill a power play?

You do know Kane took 3 of those stupid penalties right?
