00:00But in the second period of play, Finland were the better team.
00:03Like you could see the momentum changing and you could see the frustration
00:08in the in the eyes and faces of the USA players.
00:12Right. You just sort of see like they were getting frustrated
00:16that they kept getting run.
00:18It wasn't getting called.
00:19Finland were playing on the edge like Sweden don't really play the body.
00:23Like the Finns play the body a lot more.
00:24They play a different style of hockey than Sweden does, you know.
00:28And so tonight's game has been very physical.
00:32But the USA have done a good job of not taking like dumb penalties.
00:36They haven't really been, you know, they had, you know,
00:39you would figure in past years, put it this way, USA hockey in past years,
00:42they've gone all hot headish, right?
00:44They don't like getting run by Finns.
00:46So they start doing stupid things back and end up in a penalty box.
00:49This USA team has shown a lot of discipline tonight
00:52because Finland is like they're pushing the envelope.
00:55Finland, they finally got called for a cross checking.
00:57But Finland got away with a couple of like pretty aggressive,
01:01pretty aggressive hats like in the corners and stuff
01:04that were like borderline boarding penalties.
01:07I think the refs have done a pretty good job.
