looks like USA-Russia at 1pm EST Monday? Both these semis should be fun games.
I watched a lot of the Can-Fin replay. The first Finn goals were absolute snipes, but later they scored by going hard to the net. Fun team to watch. Canada had some nice goals highlighted by Marner in the 3rd, but obviously they were very undisciplined. Vertanen had 2 penalties on one play towards the end, to negate a PP.
Also, from the TSN article: "Hartwall Arena itself presented new challenges for Canada, which had played all four of its preliminary round games at Helsinki Ice Hall. The 8,200-seat Ice Hall was dominated by Canadian fans during the round robin, while the sold-out crowd of 13,349 at Hartwall was split about 50-50 with competing "Suomi!" and "Let's Go Canada!" chants throughout the game.
The ice itself was also different. Although the Ice Hall's rink was larger than a typical NHL ice surface, Hartwall's is full Olympic size, four metres wider than the Ice Hall's dimensions. Finland has played all five of its games at Hartwall."
