USA 6, Finland 1.
Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne won't be playing for gold.
Bobby Ryan and Ryan Whitney will be after a big win Friday over the Finns
Team USA sent a message by scoring all six of their goals in the game's first 12:46, chasing goalie Miikka Kiprusoff after the first four, and matching their most lopsided win of the tournament. Whitney and Ryan were held scoreless; Ryan sustained a head injury midway through the third period but remained on the bench and did not appear (on TV) to be bleeding.
Patrick Kane scored twice and Ryan Malone, Paul Stastny, Erik Johnson and Zach Parise scored goals for the U.S.
Selanne's decorated Olympic career will come to an end Saturday night against the loser of tonight's game between Canada and Slovakia. He and Koivu were held scoreless, their team's only goal coming off the stick of Antti Miettinen, after Tim Thomas had relieved U.S. starter Ryan Miller in goal.
