Whistler, British Columbia -- A bizarre early goal by Ryan Malone fueled a landslide Friday that brought the United States a 6-1 win over Finland and a date with Canada for the gold medal.

The Americans, who defeated Canada 5-3 in group play earlier in the Games, will face the Canadians again on Sunday with the Olympic title at stake. The United States has not won a men's hockey gold medal in 30 years.
