Team USA takes on Finland in Olympic Semifinals

It's another day at the office for Team USA, this time against a Finnish squad that received Silver at the 2006 Winter Games. The winner earns an opportunity to compete in Sunday's Gold Medal final. Did anyone truly expect the United States to be here right now?
"If you would have said at the beginning of the tournament that we'd be 4-0 and the No. 1 seed, everybody would have said you're on crack or something," Ron Wilson told Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Guess that answers it.
Backed by the strong play of Ryan Miller, Team USA goes into tonight with an unblemished record in the tournament, and most surprisingly, has yet to trail on the scoreboard in a single game. The Americans most recent victory came against the scrappy Swiss, who boasted notorious Shark-killer Jonas Hiller between the pipes. And just like their victory over Canada on Sunday, it was one they fought hard to earn. Hiller stifled the American attack for forty two minutes until Zach Parise deflected a Brian Rafalski shot into the net.
Up until then, it was a game that featured near misses and a razor thin margin for error. Although Miller was his usual self, making 19 stops throughout the course of the game to lock down a shutout, he did require some luck to blank Switzerland. Sandy Jeannin fired a shot that clanked off the inside of the far post only moments after the Americans took the lead. The puck was cleared, and for a moment, all eyes were turned towards the Jumbotron as officials reviewed the play.
Alas, it was not meant to be. And rightfully so-- although Hiller was excellent, the Americans greatly outplayed Switzerland, more so than their initial victory over them in group play. They have only gotten stronger as the tournament has progressed. Odd man opportunities that plagued the unit throughout their first two games have been corrected. The lines have begun to gel.
But with Finland's roster mostly intact from 2006 where they took home a silver medal in Torino, there is no looking past today.
Miika Kiprusoff's skill set may be declining as his age increases; the same can be said for the entire roster of Finland. They will ice a team that stretches well into their 30's, and compared to the 26.5 average years that comprise this young American squad, undertones of experience vs. youth will be a storyline. Two Americans have medaled (Rafalski and Drury in 2002). By comparison, fifteen Finns have, nearly three-fourths of the roster they bring into tonight.
As we have seen throughout the tournament however, it only takes one game, one player, to turn the tides. Kiprusoff currently has a 94.6 SV% in these Olympic Games. He will be able to steal a game, much like Hiller almost did Wednesday. The Finns have good forward depth, much more so than Switzerland, and Miller will be tested. Their defense may be aging, but Kimmo Timonen leads a unit sprinkled with experience and new blood. Teemu Selanne is the current all-time Olympics point leader and will be dangerous on the power play.
It will be a continuation of the basics today for Team USA. Blocked shots, physical contact along the boards, and a willingness to drive to the net are trademarks of this club, assets that have brought them within reach of what was initially thought to be only a dream.
A dream that is now sixty minutes away.
Go USA.

In other news, Thomas Greiss is rumored to have been predicting a 4-0 record and one seed for Team USA immediately before the first round of group play began.

I have not had this much fun watching hockey in ages…It helps that I can be loyal to the red white and blue and secretly, shamelessly cheer for the teal in red.
Your write up on Getz v Jumbo was mighty fine.
I fear Hiller in the playoffs like any rational San Josian…San Joser ? whatever
Notice how most of the RedWings were fairly invisible in these Olympics…they are saving themselves for the big run.

Dude, I’m stoked about this game, and also nervous as hell. Hey, USA, no one expected you to be here, and all of a sudden you’ve been the most consistant team in the tournament. Your reward…having to face Kipper and the Defending Silver Medalists for the right to play for gold. No pressure or anything!
At first I wasn’t overly worried about Finland. But the more I ponder the matchup, the more worried about it I get. I mean, the US played great on Wednesday, and even though they were getting Hillered, I was never really worried that the US wouldn’t win, because the Swiss offense was so bad. With Finland, though, if the US is getting Kippered, Finland has people who can score!
Anyways, if the US plays their game, they should be able to squeek out a victory. And I know I’ll be cheering for them as loud as I can!
GO USA!

My feeling is that no one expected us to even make it this far, let alone medal, so for me, a medal of any color is an accomplishment.
But first things first. Beat the snot out of Finland please boys!
But dammit I want that gold!!! U.S.A! U.S.A.! U.S.A!

Nothing I hate more than watching them call timeout after timeout when the game is obviously out of hand.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
I agree
there’s nothing bad about realizing you’ve been bested. It’s not giving up in that case, it’s realizing you were beat in such a away that you cannot recover.

One of the reasons why I was confused why UCLA got pissed off at USC when they scored a touchdown after UCLA called a timeout when USC was trying to take a knee and end the game.

That was so awesome and so deserved. Fuck UCLA and their crying baby asses, and I’m not even really a USC fan. You called timeout, you’re obviously still thinking the game is winnable, why then shouldn’t USC? The fact that it’s a great rivalry made it all the better when USC shoved it up their asses.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
I have to agree here. I’m not a USC fan at all…I never, ever cheer for them. But UCLA called an unnecessary time out. USC was well justified in shoving it down their throats.

I would be pulling for them too, if only I didn’t think the entire team was just lame, lame, lame. Hagman, Kimmo Timonen, and Backstrom are the only ones I can really stand.
Hopefully they put up a better fight in the medal game though.

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the players on both Finland and Slovakia. But after this beatdown (they are playing better right now), I’d probably pull for Finland.
And Hagman is currently on my fantasy team…so, you know, I’ll need him rolling in March if I’m gonna move up outta 2nd.

What I’ve noticed more about Team USA than any other team in the Olympics is that they are relentless in their shot-blocking and finishing their checks. They’re really just grinding it out, being a real physical, defensive-minded team that isn’t afraid to capitalize on scoring chances.
