Finland - scored the most goals through the hole tournament. Who would have guessed that prior to the tournament?

Sundin critical of Russian performance (from http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=444379):

Quote:

"I was almost disgusted by their performance when they played Finland," said the 43-year-old who played 18 seasons in the NHL. "I look at the Finnish team and they're missing key players. They don't have any of their big stars and now [Rask] is hurt and that Russian team is stacked with great players and to come out and have that performance they had in the quarterfinals. It was an absolutely heartless performance.

"It was very disappointing and I don't think it's very good for hockey either to have them out of their home tournament. You wonder when you have Putin in the stands on home ice and you can't get heart out of these guys? What's going to bring it out? I don't know," he said.

Sundin believes simply chalking up Russia's crashing out of the tournament to the tremendous pressure the team was under is a bit of a cop-out.

"Even though you're nervous or you have a lot of pressure built up, you can always still get into the motions and show that you're actually trying," said the former first-overall pick by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. "We didn't see anything of that in the quarterfinal."

So Kesler is gonna return with no medal, a hand injury, and then has to watch 4 of his teammates return with gold and silver medals.

At least he was fighting till the bitter end trying to generate a goal until the final buzzer sounded

but tfw Selanne and Salo were close to tears probably knowing its their last Olympics

I missed the game but damn, looks like I'm going to enjoy the replay.

And yeah, Kes is going to come back pretty banged up. No one can question the guys heart though.

Yay Suomi! I'll cheer for any team with Sami Salo on it and WTF Teemu...are you really 42? That guy looks like he could Chelios his way to another few years.

Dude would only be healthy enough to play half a season but damn I miss Salo...
