I don't remember seeing that but reading about it made me all warm and fuzzy inside.That sets up a blood feud between the Americans and Finns. Finland won the silver medal in Turin but they had to fight their way through the US to get to the final.
Finland beat the Americans 4-3 in the quarter-finals and the game that included a brawl at the buzzer in which US forward David Backes pummelled defenceman Anssi Salmela, smashing the defenceman's nose to a bloody pulp.

That was fun. I had not seen that before. My finnish isn't very good but I pretty sure they were saying Backes is a badass the whole time.
