Gold should come down to Canada - US in the shoutout with Oshie and Towes going about 20 rounds.

That was one helluva game. The Shootout was just amazing. Oshie BEAST. And Kovalchuck's sick loft past Quick was gutsy and awesome.

Amazing game.

This game with the powerhouses of Canadia and Finlandia is a very entertaining game, hope Maatta is OK, looked like he took that high stick in the eye

Rask doesn't have any assists, Kari lehtonen has been the better Finnish goaltender with his 2 assists. I'm a bit surprised Tuukka got the start today, I thought Kari has shown to be better with this team.

Moogelino needs to explain to me how the Kings aren't 60-0 with an average of 4 goals per game. Drew Doughty is a hell of a player. Wish I could watch him play more often. Goes to prep the basement....

Canada has the reigning Art Ross and Norris winners in the press box. If they lose this game they have no one to blame but themselves.and the mighty Finlandians of course.

No surprise. He's been great all year. I wonder though, he looks out of shape. Kind of pudgy. Not sure if he is but I doubt he's a fitness nut. How much better could he be if he was in top shape. Speculating....

Let the Finns hang around and that's what you get. Canada dominated the play but the Finns kept it all to outside, so only gave up a couple of scoring chances. Wake up.

I'm with Moog. This is terrible, slow, painful to watch hockey. Big ice sucks.

I hate Black Label so much right now.

No. Canada plays the winner of Swiss/Lativia and US plays the winner of the Czechs/Slovaks. Canada and the US will likely play on Friday in the semis. IF Canada can get by the always pesky Swiss.

I believe the US, Sweden, Finland, and Kanuckistan have a bye in the single elimination games and go straight to the quarter finals.

Swiss goaltending has been stellar so far.

Wow, why am I not surprised you're a Crosbaby fan? Biggest sissy in the league. He's one decent hit away from a career ending concussion.

You can tell the way he was trash talking Selanne that he has no respect for the game. Selanne is a legend and Crosby will never reach his status.

Selanne was giving him shit, claiming he was diving, Crosby was responding. I don't think anyone thinks Crosby doesn't respect Selanne but you

Why would I be a Crosby fan, I'm only a Penguins season ticket holder, and huge hockey fan. And any player in the game is 1 hit away from a career ending headshot

Go wash your Dustin Penner Jerseys

I love how you say "CLAIMING" he was diving, as if there is any reasonable doubt left in the hockey world that Crosby is a diving sissy. When somebody as classy as Teemu Selanne says that you're a diver, he's probably not pulling it out of his arse.

As much diving as Crosby does, I think he's at the wrong Olympics.

I think it's beneficial to play that extra game in a tourney like this. Russia will be all that much sharper when they meet Finalandia in the quarters.

I like Crosby, but I've have no problem calling him out in the past when he sucked out. That IMO was not a dive. He was knocked down, plain and simple.

Surprised there wasn't more said about the obvious boarding call in OT when Benn was face planted into the end board from behind. Refs had the whistles buried deep in that OT.

IIRC the Swiss either beat Canada or tied them back in 06. Think they eliminated them in the quarters.
