    Had to miss the game tonight, looks like I didn't miss much. I did think Finland would give Canada a better game.

      It was awfully painful to watch. Not sure it helps in any way to prepare for Canada.

          We were disappointed after the tough fight they put up in the earlier game, I am sure they are heartbroken while the Canadians are very relieved.

          Germany came a long way after just being promoted this year and should be able to take some pride in making it to the bronze medal game. The US beat Russia by 7 , the real problem is that we have Canada and USA with Finland making the occasional run then a drop off in talented teams.

            Nothing new for years in your last sentence. Don't ever see that changing, ever.

              We could have pulled the goalie for 60:00 and still won.

                More of a rest than Canada had.

                  "We"?? Are you on the team?!

                  They could have played the whole game shorthanded and still won probably 5-0. It was awful hockey to watch so I just kept it on in the background while watching regular TV. Every time I turned around they had scored another goal. I felt sorry for Germany. They looked like a U14 team out there.

                    Even though my beloved Germans took it on the chin from my beloved Americans AGAIN, I do just love a good butt whipping like that, kinda like UW against Lindenwood years ago. Getting to do 11 sieve chants in one game is a big treat. I hope the US pours it on the Canadians like that.

                        But then what do I call the Canadians tonight??

                            "The bad guys", "The opposition", "The Canucks" are a few things that come to mind...that are polite enough to type here.

                              do you also enjoy making fun of the handicapped? I don't think 11-0 is fun for anyone, not challenge for the winner, no chance for the loser and boring for the viewer. I'd rather watch a well contested game between equals. A sieve chant against ARD or Peters is a sign of respect, against someone being shelled it is an insult.

                                any normal person knew what you meant by "we", don't sweat it. I assume he was joking.
