Mike Knuble and Matheieu Schneider scored the first two goals for the U.S. Brian Gionta scored with 4:27 left in the third to close the gap to one, but the Americans couldn't beat Finnish goaltender Antero Niittymaki the rest of the way, despite a flurry of activity around the Finnish net.

Not that I am a Finland fan but congrats to our Olli olli!~ Now sign on the dotted line

It's nice to see him do well, but he didn't have to beat the US.

I am deeply suprised the Canadians lost. Pavel really put together a strong Russian team with heart this year. The Finns don't suprise me as they have been the best team of this tourney and one of the best the last few years. Its awesome to see Olli having a great olympics. Hopefully, he continues when he returns.

the only thing that scares me about the Olli Olli chants is that the better he does over there the more it is going to cost the Panthers to keep him

Not really. Cause his olympics play has nothing to do with an NHL level contract.
