Wow, because of this I am no longer proud to be an American...

This tournament is so meaningless.

It really does not matter since all that game did is set up this game. Since Canada was in first they got to play Norway. Whether USA placed second or third would meant facing Finland anyway.

I did not see this game but i sure hope all was on the Up and Up. The game went into overtime.

How the hell can you call that an upset? Finland is a top team, currently ranked 3rd in IIHF with the USA ranked 7 and it was a 1 goal game???

A) This isn't USA's best team. I realize it isn't Finlands best team either but I think it is closer to their best than the US.

B) I would think Finland would be favored so how is this an upset?

First off this is an important tounrey particularly for european countries.

Second off, the US was actualy favoured to be very strong and challange to win.
And that was before they got "king" Lundqvist

Fins are strong too though and I personaly think the tsn "experts" over-rated the US a little.

I would not call it a big upset though.

Huge in Europe but here in North America we have a hard time seeing what all the fuss is about. We almost laugh at the idea of a second and third placing. Here in NA we have that al or nothing Stanley Cup mentality.

Can you think of a Trophy that has more looks and character than the Stanley Cup ?

I can understand Gomez not being there, but Komisarek and Higgins as young guys should have been there for the experience.
