  • czechs win-- so the qualifiers unfold as they "should" in the final results but it was a bit scary there for the Czechs and Swiss in games they were absolutely expected to win

    • Yeah, chalk so far, the top 8 are just as expected.

      It gets really interesting from here on out. The US should win tomorrow, but they are an awfully vulnerable #1, and the Swiss are an awfully dangerous #8, especially with their goaltender. All the other quarterfinal matches are basically a push.

      • Canada-Russia will be a war. Hope to see that.

          This will be the best game today (tomorrow for the rest of us). Finland vs. Czechs will start at 5AM local time for myself, so I only hope that Russia vs Canada won't be 2AM, because I'd really like to see this game. It can go either way, it could have been the finals as well.

          My prediction:
          Russia vs Canada, no prediction at all, too difficult to make.
          Finland should be OK tonight.

          It's a bit surprising, I think Sweden might actually be one of the favorites soon unless Russia or Canada really raises their level to match the paper.

          • omg, I don't remember being this nervous/excited before a game before. This could be a game long remembered as the start of Canada's 2010 comeback, or a game Canadian's want to forget.

            • btw, I really, really dislike posting in Off Topic...how did a sports discussion get moved to there? I have been watching the thread but not wanting to post there, but since the discussion here died off, I feel obligated

                • Increased visibility there. More posters like Drake paying attention.

                  • Calgary signs Rene Bourque to a 6 year, $3.3M/yr contract (41pts in 53 games this year):



                    I love the dollar figure, but the length is worrisome considering Bourque's injury prone.

                    • I predict Finland to win tonight.

                      Why? We've had success against US in these types of games, a lot of success. We somehow get under their skin, they take penalties, game over.

                      I do think their attackers do make more quality line ups, so it comes down to Miller vs Kipper I think, and then who ever gets better PP going on. For this sole reason, I think we're going to win. And then we will lose to Canada in the finals.

                      • oooh Pekka-- That Kipper giveaway was ugly-- He hasn't done anything like that all year-- he's usually pretty good about putting it on the glass and out

                        • Kipper is apparently having a very bad game.

                          • 6 to 0 in the first period. How embarassing.
                            Self pull by the goalie. But it doesn't stop the bleeding.

                              • Well hopefully they'll finish them off.

                                I'll be rooting for the Canadians tonight for an all NA finals.
                                Then at least we'll have 4 blackhawks involved.
