Olympics Ice Hockey 2010 | USA VS Finland Live Stream – A lot of experts are saying the US will not make the finals and doubt the American’s winning streak will last. USA will face Finland in the first men’s ice hockey semifinals game of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Few expected the US to make it this far in the tournament. It has been 30 years since the Americans won the men’s ice hockey gold.
“We have a very difficult game against Finland,” goalie Ryan Miller said. “They are very fast, they’re very well organized. I don’t think we got this far by looking ahead. We’ve always focused on that one game we needed. This will be a bigger test for our locker room to see if we can keep our heads in the right spot.”
Finland prefers to sit back and try to capitalize on mistakes. With physical players on a smaller, NHL-sized rink, the Finns might look to play a closer-checking game similar to the Americans’ approach.
A potent power play that has produced seven goals in four games has helped Finland make a repeat trip to the Olympic medal round.
“They’re a patient team. Probably a little more experienced and talented than the Swiss,” Orpik said. “The key is not take as many penalties as some of the other teams. That has been one of our strong suits, being disciplined.”
