Guys I saw this one coming and I knew Finland was going to hand it to the USA. Why? Because Finland was already pissed off they got knocked out and they are playing in the 3rd place game but for USA, the loss to Canada jut demoralized them you could see it on their faces the disappointment. It is hard to get up for a game after you lost in a heartbreaking fashion. Finland though had something to prove after beating Russia they were flying high but then they lost and the poor Americans were in their way so team USA felt their wrath. I never played hockey but one day for fun I would like to be a football coach. I can think like a coach and I can just think what was going through the minds of the US team vs team Finland. I might not be able to breakdown crazy hockey strategies because I only watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Olympic hockey but you can understand sports psychology.
US clearly doesnt care to win a bronze olympic medal, means nothing to them.
Also, lets keep it real, Gold in hockey is the only thing that counts. hockey is the only professional sport in these game and the only one that has multi million dollar athletes. I wouldnt exchange 30 golds for hockey gold and thats how all of canada feels as well (same for russia and few other countries too frankly).
in fact if canada wins the gold in men hockey tomorrwo they have won 4 outta 4 golds in the only team sports and the only professional sports in olympics.
i also thinkits absolutely ridiculous that one country can win 24 medals all in one single discipline and finish ahead of another country who has won less medals but in many more disciplines.
canada and holland have the same number of medals or something but canda has won them in 10 different sports including all professional and team sports while holland has won all theirs in just speed skating lol...! give me break

well the thing is Europeans care for Olympic medal in hockey doesn't matter what it is , for them any Olympic medal is more important than Stanley cup . so as you said it was obvious Americans. didn't care today for bronze .
in other hand I couldn't be happier for Fins team after what they went through with too many injuries to key guys like Mikko Koivu, Barkov, Filppula , already this team didn't have a great offensive machine up front but they played as team , a listen that Russian team should learn and I was really happy for legend Temmu Selanne played in 6 Olympics and won 5 medals !
