SWE advances to semi 3-2 over FIN

Opponent TBD (they are re-seeding after quarters). 

I only saw part of the game, but that was some terrific hocky. You could tell how much that game meant to both sides.

With CZE up 9-1 and putting holes in the Swiss let's look at seeding criteria for the semis:

Quote

In the semi-finals the best-ranked team - criteria:
1) placement in the group,
2) points in the preliminary round,
3) goal difference in the preliminary round,
4) goals scored in the preliminary round,
5) seeding coming into the tournament
- will play against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist.

The 2nd-best ranked semi-finalist will play the 3rd-best ranked semi-finalist.

The host if qualified, or otherwise the best-ranked semi-finalist according to beforementioned criteria, shall play the early game. The time slots will officially be determined after the quarter-final games.

Based on that, if CZE wins (up big) they'll be the "best-ranked" whether or not USA wins (both won groups, but CZE has 10 points to USA 9). 

If CZE, USA, and CAN all win, and with SWE upsetting FIN, we could have a USA-CAN semi.
