A win by the U.S. would be the men's team's first Olympic hockey medal won outside North America since capturing silver at the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, according to NHL.com.

"We want to come home with a bronze medal," U.S. coach Dan Bylsma told NHL.com. "After we put [the semifinal] loss behind us we'll be back to do that."

The Finns haven't won Olympic gold since the NHL began sending players in 1998, but they have won some kind of medal three times in the past four Olympics.

"I have a nice trophy case at home," Finland captain Teemu Selanne said. "Three medals from Olympics. It would be nice to have four."

Even though USA lost 1-0, they were outplayed by Canada. They did get 31 shots on net, but not too many legit chances. The lone goal of the game came off what should not have been called icing, but it was.

"It seems like we had a tough time sustaining any pressure in their end," American forward Ryan Callahan said after the game. "They outnumbered us in their zone. We wanted to get pucks behind their [defense], create some opportunities that way. Thought we did it early, but they defended well."

The Finns failed to take advantage of five power plays in the semifinal against Sweden, including a 95-second 5-on-3 advantage in the first period.

"I think the turning point is we got the first goal and had a power play right after it," forward Olli Jokinen said Friday. "We had a pretty good chance to score. That's the time you want to put the team away and get a two-goal lead."
