>I have been saying Canada looks unbeatable since their near death experience. After yesterday's semis I am not so sure. Canada squeaked by, winning 3-2 when a potentially tying goal from point blank range was saved by Luongo, while the U.S. absolutely destroyed Finland. Finland is a good team and it was 6-0 after one period. It ended 6-1.

>No predictions from me, other than a lingering suspicion that the Canadian team will not let us beat them again. Canada invented hockey, after all, and this is on their home soil. What I do know is I will be watching and hoping for a great game. This is the kind of anticipation before a World Cup soccer final, a Super Bowl, a World Series game 7. I can't wait!

If it is anything like the previous Olympic hockey, it'll be a great game no matter who wins. There'll be more hard checking into the boards in this one and the pace might be quicker too. To quote every sports announcer who has spoken into a microphone or typed a story, 'Only time will tell.' :) I think game time is noon eastern time.
