"I find your lack of faith (in team USA) disturbing" especially considering USA is currently 6-0 against Fins in the 1st period. I must say I was a tad surprised at Finland's performance being able to get through to the semis. Before the tourney I questioned whether they would even make the quarters but they were in the weakest of the groupings. I was very surprised to see them make it past the Czechs. When your best player is a Toronto Maple Leaf castoff you are in for a rough ride in a tournament like that. Likely only to get worse for the Fins too - their most skilled players are getting up there in age and may not be around for the next Olympics. The US on the other hand will challenge for gold the next couple of Olympics with this young team. Let's just hope Canada holds up their end of the bargain and we get the North American final everyone has been hoping for!

Yes! And we will again when discussing the Canada-Finland gold medal final on Sunday! "I find your lack of faith (in team USA) disturbing" especially considering USA is currently 6-0 against Fins in the 1st period. He's referring to the Bronze medal game

Someone needs to tell the Ruskies the cold war ended years ago. On top of the crap that Pravda is spewing, they also blame Canada for their failure to win the men's figure skating championship(won by US). Political posturing for the next Olympics in Moscow or simply sore losers? Don't blame Canada, blame ChokeVechkin.

^I started reading more about the background of this Pravda and it seems more of a tabloid nowadays
This reminds me of the SNL skit from a while back... Jeaallousssssss?
Although, no matter what people want to say, at least in Vancouver, the media really do care what other people think. BIG TIME. Any time there is a "Vancouver best place to live" or any of these other magazine stories, they eat it up, make it the top story on the news... etc.

"My prediction is Canadas just getting warmed up and the future is looking gold." You underestimate the power of the dark side.
