.  Seriously. Seven years of losing has brought many different faces, players
and management, to the annual pre-season get-to-know-the-team round up.SOCHI,
Russia -- Finland eliminated Russia from the Olympic mens hockey tournament with
a 3-1 victory Wednesday, putting a stunning end to the Russians enormous
expectations at home. Teemu Selanne scored an early goal and Tuukka Rask made 37
saves as Finland crushed the Russians dreams of winning hockey gold in front of
their own fans. Russian teams have won eight gold medals in hockey, but none in
the last 22 years. Selanne and Mikael Granlund each had a goal and an assist for
the steady Finns, who overcame an early deficit and silenced the Bolshoy Ice
Dome with two goals in the first period. Despite its roster of high-priced
offensive stars, Russia couldnt score in the final 52 minutes after
Ilya Kovalchuks early power-play goal. Finland will face top-seeded Sweden in
the semifinals on Friday. Russia has failed to win a medal in three straight
Olympics since 2002, and even home-ice advantage couldnt end the embarrassing
drought. A quarter-final exit is excruciating for the proud Russian team, which
pressed relentlessly and fruitlessly in the third period after falling behind by
two goals. After the final buzzer, several Russian players stood on the ice with
their hands on their knees. Evgeni Malkin, who failed to score a goal in the
last four games, dropped to one knee before captain Pavel Datsyuk led the
traditional post-game handshake line. The Russians then gathered at centre ice
amid more jeers and whistles than cheers, mournfully raising their sticks to
salute the fans before skating off the ice at an arena built to herald Russias
return to hockey dominance. Alex Ovechkin, the reigning NHL MVP and one of the
Sochi Games most public faces, failed to score another goal for Russia after
scoring on his first shot just 1:17 into Russias opener against Slovenia.
Malkin, the Russians other former NHL MVP, also didnt score a goal after the
first four minutes of the opener. Ovechkin, Malkin and Datsyuk all hailed
Russias home Olympics as the most important tournament of their careers, but
theyll likely have only bitter memories. Russia didnt play horribly in Sochi,
winning three of its five games, but lost a painful eight-round shootout to the
U.S. team before falling behind early and failing to cattch up against steady
Finland.

. Semyon Varlamov allowed all three goals on 15 shots against
the Finns before getting pulled for Sergei Bobrovsky during the second period.
Juhamatti Aaltonen scored the first goal for Finland, the most consistently
successful Olympic team in the last two decades, winning medals in four of the
past five games. Russian fans realized the importance and peril of this game,
filling the Olympic park early in the afternoon with cheers, chants and Russian
flags. The Bolshoy crowd began chanting "Ro-ssi-ya!" even before pre-game
warm-ups, waving hundreds of flags and banners emblazoned with hometowns and
slogans. The tone was uncommonly intense from the opening faceoff. After
Granlund took an early holding penalty in the offensive zone, captain
Pavel Datsyuk fed Kovalchuk for a hard shot over Rasks shoulder. Kovalchuk
popped the water bottle off the top of Finlands net and celebrated with a
two-footed leap into the air amid ecstatic cheers. But moments later, Aaltonen
made a beautiful move along the goal line, putting a shot under Varlamovs glove
arm for the KHL forwards first goal in Sochi. Bolshoy got quiet, and it became
positively funeral-like late in the period when Granlund moved up the boards,
broke past two defencemen and fed Selanne for the Finn captains 22nd goal in a
record-tying six trips to the Olympics. The 43-year-old Selanne extended his own
record for the oldest player to score in an Olympics. Finland scored again on
the power play early in the second, with Granlund collecting Selannes rebound
and sliding in a backhand from a sharp angle. Granlund, who turns 22 in a week,
hadnt been born when Selanne played in his first Olympics in 1992. Russia put
together an impressive offensive stretch after Bobrovsky came on, with Rask
forced to make a big save on Alexander Semins breakaway. The Russians continued
to press in the third period, outshooting Finland 14-5, but Rask made big saves
when his teammates didnt block Russias shots. Dozens of fans lingered in their
seats long after the team left the ice, disconsolately folding their flags and
staring at the ice. A few Finnish fans near centre ice even went up to a group
of Russian fans for a hug. Cheap NFL
