UPDATE: It's official; U.S. downs Finland, 6-1, advances to gold medal game
The United States closed out its semifinal victory over Finland, 6-1, to advance to Sunday's gold medal game against the winner of Friday night's Canada-Slovakia game.
The U.S. made the game a foregone conclusion quickly. The Americans chased goalie Miikka Kiprusoff, who gave up four goals in the game's first 10 minutes, several of which because he was woefully out of position.

USA, USA, USA! I love how this teams plays - with energy, heart and determination. Their defensive play unfortunately highlights for me the Caps deficiencies - blocking shots, intercepting passes by putting their sticks in the lane, etc. If the whole team could tighten up, we'd really be a force. I have some concerns about this team going into the playoffs, but I'll support them no matter what.
In the meantime, what I want more than anything is a loss by Canada. Go Slovakia,
Go USA!
