Ouch! The Czech's bounced Sweden 6-1 today to eliminate them in one of the quarter-final games. Finland just edged Germany 2-1 on Monday in a closer than expected game.
The lemon that accompanies this post is for the Swede's sour performance yet again. Too bad for Mats Sundin. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]
The US plays Russia tonight and Canada takes on the Slovaks tomorrow in the other two quarter-final games.

That was a depressing game, just awful....  |

Re: OT- World Cup Hockey
I was surprised to see how things ended in Czech-Sweden -game. Sweden is better than that, we know it. Sadly, I wish there would have been Finland and Sweden in Final, but I guess we have to settle that with Canada. 
It was perhaps 1997 or 1998 when Finland and Canada were in Final also and we played the game time even, the continuation time even and it had to be settled with penalty shot competition. Sadly, after 7 or 8 shooter Canada got one goal more than us. But that was unarguably the best game ever I have seen.
Well, good luck for everyone. You are going to need it

Re: OT- World Cup Hockey
If the Finns can use their speed and Kiprusoff has a good game - they can certainly take out the US in the semis. But if they go on and meet Canada in the final - I'm sorry to say they'll be second best.  |

Re: OT- World Cup Hockey
Canada knocked out Slovakia with a big 5-0 win.
So the semis are:
Canada vs. Czech Republic
Finland vs U.S.
