Sorry, I'm not into moral victories. I honestly don't care if they win Bronze or not. :sad:

I'm glad you're not on the team because I bet the players care. I know Finland's do.

If I was on the team, I would obviously want to win Bronze. As a fan, however, I just don't care all that much. If that's a crime, then I plead guilty as charged.

LOL...so we all wrap ourselves in USA flags and buy TJ Sochi t-shirts after what was essentially a meaningless pool play victory over Russia...and then not bother to watch the bronze medal game at all?

C'mon, Oxbow6, I know you'll be up early Sunday tomorrow morning watching Team USA slug it out against the Finns. Right?

No...but I'll be up watching them tomorrow at 9am CT go for the bronze!

We suck at Olympics. ???

This year as a whole the USA didn't do well. Alpine, Snowboarding, Freestyle Skiing, and Speed Skating are events the USA is usually in medal contention.

It will be interesting what happens in 2018 with the NHL. I think without NHL players the USA and Canada will be at a disadvantage compared to the European countries that will bring in players from the pro leagues like the KHL.

I haven't watched any of the games, so I guess I'll stay consistent about it.

It's kind of like the consolation bracket in the ND State Hockey Tournament; it's just hard to get up for it.

2018 Olympic men's predictions:

Gold: Denmark

Silver: Slovenia

Bronze: Belarus

That's not a moral victory.

The first sentence was referring to today's game and the performance of Jonathan Quick in a losing effort. The second sentence was referring to my lack of excitement as a fan regarding the Bronze medal game. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Mafia, not a bad idea. I still have the 1980 game on DVD around here someplace...

I'm going to watch the replay of the US/Canada game...hopefully we'll win this time.
