> As most of you may already know, the American team won the >bronze medal in Europe. They beat Russia 4-3 in overtime. Tim >played half of the game and gave up one goal. Actually, according to the box score (available on the WWW at <http://www.sportsnet.co.at/Icehockey/statistics/game40.htm>; the site has extensive, if difficult-to-read, boxes of all the games), Parris Duffus played the entire bronze medal game. Tim Thomas did play the first half of the US's 5-1 first-round loss to Canada (John Graeme played the second half), as well as the last 47 seconds of the 3-1 loss to Russia in the first round (Duffus played the first 59:10, was pulled at 19:10 of the third, and when the Russians scored an empty-net goal 3 seconds later, Thomas finished the came.) Oh, and no one's posted it, but the Czech republic beat Canada 4-2 for the gold, with the gamewinner coming in the last minute, followed by an empty-netter.
