Finland takes bronze in men's hockey.
Damn, they came so close to taking out Canada and getting silver. Ah, well. Still, we've got squids taking home bronze and they were key players on their teams. Kaapo Kakko scored again.
(Kakko should be one of the Kraken's top scorers, but he was out most of the season with an injury and seemed to have the yips once he got back, was slow to get his groove back. This sidequest may have helped him a bit.)
I didn't watch the game, because I was at a write-in at Steeplejack.
Just in case you had any doubt that beer is a religion in Portland:
Damn, I need to go there with my real camera.
I considered catching the finals tomorrow, more to see the medal ceremony than the game, but the Fins already have their medals? They didn't wait and do them all at once like with the women's game?
Still sad that Finland didn't manage to take out Canada, despite that early lead. Still, some squids got bronze and overall squids had very good showings on their teams. Anyway, here's hoping Canada deletes USA tomorrow. I'm not really attached to Canada or any of their players, I just want USA's first line humiliated if possible. I can dream!

It'll be a tight fit to have the game, do the medal ceremony, get showered/changed and make it to the closing. The arena is pretty far in the sticks of Milano (public transport hasn't caught up there yet either), so even hopping on the bus and stuff will make it a tight squeeze. Adding one more medal ceremony would probably mean the players wouldn't make it in time.
The women bronze and gold/silver games were all on the same day, so they could make the one team wait for it.
