[hateraid]

Aren't you American?

[mr.big35]

[Marlo_Stanfield]

damn, i knew Americans wouldnt give two fcks about bronze medal game
Also Selanne

[hateraid]

Why is it so important for Canadians to see US fail at hockey? It's feels like us not medaling is as important as winning gold.

its not like hockey is our number one sport. its a niche sport in usa.

I personally don't care if the US medals or not but I'd rather them win one over a European team if it came down to it.

Like Kaiteng said before I root for North America, its just that Canada comes first.

HA. I have just seen the Bronze medal score. How embarrassing for USA.

They just came off an emotionally and physically challenging game against Canada with less than 24 hour rest. This was stacked against us

But a 5-0 loss to a country with a population of less than 6 million?

No excuse when their best player is washed up.

And Zetterberg with season ending surgery yesterday.

The hockey program in nothern europe is a lot stronger.

China has over a billion people and fields basketball team. Why can't they beat us?

I say it's very legitimate. Being deflated with little rest and preparation is an uphill battle for any sport.

And Finland doesn't begin and end with Selanne. They are deep with skill and have the best goalie core in the world. If the game was played Sunday I think the outcome may have been much closer.

Congrats to Finland they killed us.. USA hockey deserve every ounce of criticism that come their way
