Catastrophic start for my Team Finland, USA won 5 to 1

I tend to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs more. I do keep up with World championships though.
Kinda hockey overload this time of year.

My team Finland's victory over Denmark yesterday (FIN 3 - DEN 0) gave hope :). Anyway, games continue today, here are the standings after 3 days:

Yes!

Congrats on the Fins wins!

Thanks Charlie! Not a bad day for you Americans, too, a nice 4 to 2 victory over Russia :).

What chance of USA vs. Finland ? Can that happen in this?

Yes. In the preliminaries once (we lost 5 to 1!), then quarter and semifinals, the bronze game and the final, everything is possible.
