Ugly America Finn-ished off

The greatest generation of American hockey players exited the world stage last night with a whimper rather than a bang.

[barrymac19]

It was not ugly! It was purely the inability to score (lots of chances) and some soft goals by the US goaltenders.

Simply put....hockey is now a global sport and North America better get used to it!

i luv u canda

Hockey has always been a global sport.. Remember the Soviet Union? No-one could beat the Soviet Union on their prime. Or Checkoslovakia(which splitted in to Chech Rebuplic and to Slovakia)? Either country exists no more, but neither one was an american team. You guys in America just haven't been able to see across the sea (Typical American behavior). It's just that the smaller countries (like Finland) have risen to their level in the past 10-15 years.

And what comes to USAs hockey:Sorry, but you'll always be in the shadow of the Canadians.

By the way.. Does it get to your pride when finland (about 5 million ppl) beats your ass? U guys have great players but they just can't play as a team.. A bunch of overpayed ladys.. Sorry, dont wanna mock you but it's sad but true...

[team canada]

nobody to blame but themselves, just reminder we live to play another day, also have bright on there way up crosby,staal,spezza and phineof we will have a better future. enjoy for now well be back

[American Guy]

Hats off to the Finnish and Sweden team. They were able to play as a team more quickly than any others competing. The USA and Canadian teams just could not play as a team. I'm just glad that the NHL is back. Go Sabres!!

Canada rocks it's just our staff made some bad choices and we had old guys who have no speed and didn't step up to the role of a leader if only Steve Yzerman and Mario Lemieux had come on the team and Mario not retired but even if they only got 2 pts think of the great leadership they'd have given to the team and c'mon the americans had no netminding and just no leadership but keep your chins up look forward to 2010. And congrats to the Swedes and Fins a new day has commenced in Hockey the European's have finally stepped up. But wow where did Switzerland come from hopefully they can improve for 2010 and you never noe maybe they'll become a force to reckon with.
Vancouver 2010 gonna be amazing

[Go Oilers Go]

Man are we gonna whoop some Arse in 2010. Go Canada Go

[Conor H]

Canada sucks

[Go Oilers Go]
