The USA and Finland will be in action in the first of the Men's Ice Hockey semi-finals in Vancouver
The semifinal for men's ice hockey takes place on February 26th at noon PST (3pm ET) as the USA and Finland go head to head. Odds are now available with bet365 and here they are, favoring the Americans:
USA to win straight up, -165 (20/33)
Finland to win straight up, +145
This game looks like a coin toss in a lot of ways.
While Ryan Miller does the give the American team a bit of an edge in net Miikka Kiprusoff, on the other side, can be expected for very big stops as well. Look for Saku Koivu, Teemu Selanne, and Oli Jokinen to make a big difference in this game and take Finland straight up with their underdog odds as it is generally better to go with the longer price when a game looks so close.
The Finnish team does have a ton of members that were apart of Italy 2006's silver medal and they are much more experienced in this situation.
