i think canada will roll the u.s.
finland and sweden is really hard to call. 3-2 sweden but who the fuck knows. I think it will be very close and could go either way. With just one game and given how well the US has been playing, I think even with a stellar defense, the USA will still have a very good chance of winning. In Vancouver they beat us in the preliminary round and lost to us in OT in the gold medal game so it would be a huge mistake to underestimate them.
yea it's probably going to be close but the u.s. had a pretty easy road so far. disregarding goaltending they are probably even strength with russia, and weaker than canada. not sure how tavares changes the picture though.
teams that are underestimated, and thus their opponents also underestimated in this tourney are finland and latvia. canada's rough win over latvia shouldn't appear that bad, and their win against finland should look better.
hockeyprospectus picked sweden to win the tourney same as me. but they've looked a bit worse than expected so far

Canada is going to make USA their little bitches. Hawk, TL + friendly bet on the game. I have my boss coming out so I can't watch it but I'll be checking updates for sure.
Canada rules. Real men would do a temp-ban bet. You don't have to be a real man to make a bet for Canada in the upcoming semi-final, that implies bravery is needed. It's not brave if you already know the outcome....  As such I hereby challenge Hawk to a 7-day ban bet on the outcome of the game.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED MOOSE FUCKER

Where the hell do you find that garbage Hawk????

Not gonna lie, I'm super nervous for our game vs USA. I mean, out team hasn't looked as outstanding as they should be, we just haven't had the scoring to match our shots output. It'll be interesting for sure.

Yeah, i'm afraid so.
As a half fin with my heart pumping for Sweden it's a dreadful matchup as i run the risk of having a collection of smug finish faces staring at me the next christmas dinner. Jeez, that year Sweden lost the final in the world cup with 6 - 1 was the worst. All these fucking mumin trolls repeating the words "6 - 1" with a stupid smile on their faces. I was ready to go Rambo and eliminate half of my family tree. I've already accepted the fact that we lost the JWC, but having lost in the olympics the same year...

Hopefully it won't matter when North America stomps the gold out of either of you.

My god...That subreddit is the most hilarious thing I have ever read. It's like the intelligence of every person is temporarily disabled while writing a comment.
And apprently every photo needs a F-16 in it "raining freedom down on them commies"

If Finlands wins gold in this olympics, it will be the greatest accomplishment by any team in international hockey since the NHL era. In fact if Sweden wins (because of our injuries) it will also be the greatest accomplishment by any team in international hockey since the NHL era. I will be really surprised if Sweden or Finland end up going all the way, but it's certainly possible.
I predicted Canada, USA, Sweden, and I still believe that's how it will go down, although because of the brackets, Sweden will get the silver, and USA the bronze. Both semi-finals looks pretty open though.

I hope winner of swe-fin takes gold

Tuukka Rask truly looks like an even insaner version of Jim Carrey.

tuukka rask beasting lol. the scandinavian part of the bracket might surprise and take the gold with their goaltending We are at the point in the bracket where their are no upsets or surprises. All 4 of these teams would win the tournament at least once if we ran the thing 10 times.
i've got a lot of fans i guess. the single quotes are a nice touch.
last time USA dominated an international event like this was the 1996 World Cup.
Canada bumbled, fumbled and stumbled into the finals. USA Steamrolled, destroying every team in their path.
in that event the finals is a BO3.
Good thing for the USA because Canada won game 1.
USA ate Canada in games 2 and 3.
for all you people that love googling everything i post to check for facts. here is a fact you won't get out of google.
Canada's game winning goal in game 1 of that event was OFF SIDE.
how do i know this without consulting google? i watch the actual games
which again illustrates how little meaning an event with single game eliminations is.
clearly , USA is outplaying Canada just like in the 1996 World Cup... but in a 1-game elimination its anyone's tourney.

At the moment Crosby has as many points as Finlands backup goalkeeper. 2.
