And yes a medal is important because you're playing for your country not a paycheck, and your country wants you to do your best and win.
Go Team US, they deserve gold with the way they are playing. Trouba is a beast on the pp. Gibson also has been lightsout, reminds me of Ryan Miller.

Getting third place feels really pointless for me as a fan. If they lose I won't care at all. The goal of the team was to be the best team in the world and they failed at that, so bronze is just a way of saying you are one of the better losers in the tournament.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the US just crush the Swedes tomorrow.
