Hopefully the USA doesn't look ahead like they did against Switzerland. They should dispose the Fins easily today.

I watched the Switzerland game through nbcolympics.com, you may be able to do the same on this game.

This is no easy game by any means Rock. Finland will look like Canada after playing the Swiss. Plenty of very good NHL players, especially Kiprusoff who is playing great right now. US has still yet to play a great game. If they continue to turn the puck over and allow the chances they gave up against the Swiss, they will be in big trouble tonight. Guys like Koivu (both of em), Selanne, Jokinen, and Lehtinen will make them pay dearly. Miller must play great again for the US to have a chance, unless they decide to finally play a complete game.

Haha, I wasn't saying it to be a hardass, you boner. I was just saying two Finnish dudes starting sending me nasty messages in Finnish after we played. They were the Finns I was USA so I assume it had something to do w/ the game today.....
