Rask was pretty good for Finland but both the goals he gave up to Doughty were kind of weak. Thought Finland was gonna win it on the blast by Salo and then thought they would get a powerplay when one of the Canadian players slashed the stick out of the Finland players hands while he was carrying the puck through the neutral zone but they pretty much put the whistles away late in the game.

Bracket should look like this

1. Sweden vs. 8.Slovenia/9.Austria

4.Finland vs. 5.Russia/12.Norway

2.USA vs. 7.Czech Republic/10.Slovakia

3.Canada vs. 6.Switzerland/11.Latvia

Slovenia over Austria - Kopitar and the Seahawks aren't ready to go home yet.

Russia over Norway - Ovie and the Russians will be in blow-out mode.

Slovakia over the Czech Republic - just a hunch I have.

Latvia over Switzerland - The riddle of Hiller gets solved by The Latvians. And the Swiss can't score themselves.

I'm with you on Slovenia and Russia.

Cue Schloss on the play of Hiller and the "Checks" pound the Celebrex and Mutamucil to give the "Old Pro" beer league players around the world one more game to say "Hey I can make that move too".

What a bummer. The only thing left to hurt the US was a Canada OT win. Now we have a much tougher quarter and the Canada game will only be a semi.

Personally I like the matchup with Czech Republic or Slovakia better than having to play the Swiss but I would have liked to see Finland get the win and make Canada and Russia face each other in the quarters.

I agree. The Czech Republic and Slovakia are both struggling while Switzerland is gaining some confidence. I'd prefer to take my chances with the Czechs or Slovaks.
