Greetings from the Bolshoy Ice Dome where the Finns and Swedes are facing off for a shot at the gold medal game Sunday. The loser will play Saturday night for the bronze.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:06:46 PM
Big news is that Finnish goaltender Tuukka Rask is out with the flu. Kari Lehtonen in goal for the Finns.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:07:07 PM
RT if you pumped to see the ladies and men's team pursuit! We are only an 1.5 hours away from the start of racing. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bg_yrkACYAAUvSF.jpg

Greetings from Bolshoy where men's semifinal No. 1 is underway.... Finland with early PP here

by Pierre LeBrun via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:11:22 PM
Finns haven't had much going offensively but they are going to the PP.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:11:30 PM
Love these Finland uniforms

by Pierre LeBrun via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:13:58 PM
PP ends with the Finns getting a couple of looks but no real sustained pressure.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:13:58 PM
U.S. forwards for tonite's semi vs. CAN: Brown-Backes-Callahan; Parise-Kesler-Kane; JVR-Pavelski-Kessel; Pacioretty-Stastny-Oshie; Wheeler.

by USA Hockey via twitter 2/21/2014 12:17:07 PM
Sweden continues to dominate zone time and shots but game is still scoreless.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:17:39 PM
Raise the roof, @PolinaEdmunds @GraceEGold @AshWagner2010 ! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bg_1TgAIIAABJ7o.jpg

by U.S. Figure Skating via twitter 2/21/2014 12:18:49 PM
Swedes with better control of play 5 on 5 so far

by Pierre LeBrun via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:19:59 PM
Big save there on Komarov on semi break by Lundqvist

by Pierre LeBrun via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:20:55 PM
Finns' best chance of the from Leo Komarov but Lundqvist denies him on a semi-break.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:21:07 PM
And yes Pierre and I are sitting side by each.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:21:23 PM
Some more pucks action today at #Sochi2014 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bg_18seIEAEqHUF.jpg

by Joy Russo via twitter 2/21/2014 12:21:37 PM
Is it safe to say that Sweden is the favorite for Gold if they win today. I feel like they have more star power than the U.S. and Canada.

by Jackson via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:22:15 PM
U.S. D for tonite’s semi vs. CAN: Fowler-Shattenkirk; Orpik-Carlson; Suter-McDonagh; Faulk. Quick in goal; Miller backup. #DawnsEarlyLight

by USA Hockey via twitter 2/21/2014 12:22:49 PM
Jackson; Don't think so. Either Canada or the U.S. match up well with Swedes especially given the absence of Henrik Zetterberg.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:23:00 PM
I expected a low-scoring, defensive game between these two teams and so far that's playing out

by Pierre LeBrun edited by Joy Russo 2/21/2014 12:24:33 PM
Pierre; You are prescient.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:24:52 PM
So according to USA Hockey tweets, Paul Martin is out for tonight. Justin Faulk in for him

by Pierre LeBrun via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:27:04 PM
As per USA Hockey Paul Martin out and Justin Faulk will make his Olympic debut.

by Scott Burnside via twitter 2/21/2014 12:27:32 PM
Martin and Orpik have been playing together for the most part and been steady.

by Scott Burnside via twitter 2/21/2014 12:28:08 PM
Orpik will now play with John Carlson who has been the seventh D.

by Scott Burnside via twitter 2/21/2014 12:29:09 PM
Finns on the PP again.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:29:36 PM
Kronwall in the box for interference.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:29:45 PM
According to @usahockey , Paul Martin out for semifinal game, replaced in lineup by Faulk. Also means Carlson bumped up from No 7 role

by Pierre LeBrun via twitter 2/21/2014 12:30:17 PM
Biathletes on the @USOlympic Team and friends are Happy - watch: youtu.be/YkH0TQsveLc

by US Biathlon via twitter 2/21/2014 12:30:30 PM
Big save from Lundqvist.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:30:32 PM
Swedes kill off second PP.

by scottdburnside via ESPN 2/21/2014 12:31:13 PM
Pierre and I wrote in one of our previews that the Americans had been injury free. Not sure of Martin's ailment although flu running through some of the teams (Rask, earlier Anze Kopitar).
