Let me guess. It is somehow his fault that they lost in a game they only scored one goal and he let in two with a good sv%? While Rask have been good he has had his bad moments, like his first game. If Lehtonen played in the east they would be pushing him for the starting job.

am i the only one who thinks that the bigger ice lends itself to more pucks on the backhand? not just shots.. but passes.

It's getting nauseating at this point. They completely forget that nearly every goal Rask has given up this tournament has been soft.
Glen Healey on CBC just said he thought the Fins would be playing for Gold if Rask was in gold. Hasn't been trashing Lehts, but once again showing how little he knows about the NHL on a whole.

It's not just NBC, Glenn Healy making sure everyone knows that if Rask played yesterday then Finland would be playing for gold.
Ridiculous, come back to Dallas so these idiots forget who you even are Kari.

Seems like confirmation bias... we show this guys team all the time so he clearly is the better player.

Mad props to Selanne. Watching a living legend who will be one of the greatest HOF's ever. Really great to him leaving on a high note.

If the NHL participates in the 2018 Olympics USA Hockey needs to heavily recruit Nill to put a team together.

Man, mixed feelings. So happy to win the bronze with team that nobody expected to go this far especially after all the injuries we dealt with. Sad to see Selanne, Salo, Timonen go though. These guys have played on national team as far as I've watched hockey, luckily they got to end their national team career with a medal. Also, Kari's smile after he received the medal was heart warming.
Thank you Selanne, Salo and Timonen.

We should be honest with ourselves that the difference between us winning the game versus Canada is not one player. If anybody who was left that should have been there it was Okposo, not Bobby Ryan.

Haven't watched the bronze game at all but these games are always really weird. It's a strange thing to play for 3rd place.

I think in general people always want to look for answers where there are none. That's the way it goes with one-game elimination tournaments. America played awesome for pretty much every game, but maybe the schedule caught up with them or maybe they just had an off day. If Canada loses to Sweden, all the Canadians on HF will be talking very much the same way the Americans are today. But if we win, even in a 1-0 nail biter, we will talk for years about how good Hockey Canada operations are etc etc, "remember how we did it in 2014, not picking Giroux, etc" and that one win will somehow justify all the psudeo-hockey science that everyone loves to talk about. That's not saying that American couldnt have done things different or picked better players, but its also sort of a crap shoot. Look at all the great players on both teams who didnt do squat for most of the two week stretch. If Benn doesn't score that goal and if America popped in one of their chances, it would be a totally different story today.
