But after USA got beat in the semi, they didn't have anything left to raise their game in a bronze medal play off. Expect Canada to win.

Was there a problem in the final?

I noticed that the Swedish players seemed to be the least agitated about it - the players are NHL, the referees are NHL, everyone knew everyone else and how the rules would be applied?

Just a fact that the best hockey referees are in the NHL.

That's what did for them IMO - though I think the Canadians would have won anyway.

I think I've fallen in love with the Finns, though. 5-0! :not worth
