Teemu Selanne led his team around the ice, with a bronze medal draped around his neck, after he finished off his sixth Olympics with a sweet victory.

If the Finnish Flash is retiring and hanging up his skates after the NHL season, he picked a pretty good way to go out on the world's stage.

Selanne scored two goals and Tuukka Rask had a 27-save shutout, helping Finland rout the United States 5-0 Saturday to win hockey bronze at the Sochi Games.

The 43-year-old, smooth-skating forward with a lightning-quick shot and Jussi Jokinen scored 11 seconds apart early in pivotal second period.

Selanne and his teammates were not finished, scoring three goals in the third against a team that looked like it would rather be at home.

The Americans, meanwhile, were humiliated.

"I'm kind of embarrassed where we're at now," U.S. defenseman Ryan Suter said.
