Russia didn't look so good against Slovenia but will obviously rise to better competition. Canada scoreless in the first period against Norway.

Pick your final 4 ITT.

Group A: Russia (1), Slovakia (6), USA (7), Slovenia (18)
Group B: Finland (2), Canada (5), Norway (8), Austria (15)
Group C: Czech Republic (3), Sweden (4), Switzerland (9), Latvia (11)

The four teams with the best records (the group winners and the second-place team with the best record) advance to the quarter-finals

I'm going with Russia, Finland, Czech, Sweden. I just don't think the Canadians or Americans will get the job done. Hope I'm wrong.

I'll go with Russia, USA, Canada, Sweden. I watched most of the Finland-Austria game & can't see Finland being a threat but they always are.

I see Sweden winning it all beating Russia in the Gold Medal game.

USA, Canada, Sweden, Russia are top 4.. I think the gold will go to USA NHL All-Star Team with the Canada NHL All-Star Team getting Silver and Bronze to Sweden.

Czech's coaching is horrible, didn't start Pavelich in net vs. Sweden... Bad Decision, imo.

PS.. The Slovenian jerseys were pretty slick.

Sweden/Switzerland on now on NBCSN. For the record, I agree with Russia, USA, Canada, and Sweden. I think Canada will win gold, but I hope I'm wrong.

Russia,Finland,Canada, Sweden


These are the correct four if anyone really cares.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

Also Canadian Cunts will take Gold. Upsetting the American twat team.

[hotshott74]

Russia vs USA coming up can't wait till that game is on. Going to wake up early and watch it live I think.

PS.. Canada starting to roll, hopefully they stick with Lou... May they win the Gold even though my pick is still USA. The first real test for Canada will be Finland but they should take it fairly easy as long as the Fins and Rask don't stand on their head.

Slovenia with the upset of the series so far over the Slovaks, played physical from the start. Now the big match, USA vs Russia...

Crazy atmosphere the fans and players are into it...

Good game so far. 2-1 USA with 6 minutes left & Russia going on the PP.

Also Putin in the building.

edit: 2-2. Russia scored on the PP for a really stupid penalty taken by Dustin Brown. I don't know WTF he was thinking.

Now Medvedev with the bone headed penalty. Bit of a dive though.

OT awesome!

Kane blew that one, he was all alone. Should have been game right there.

Bobrovsky has played great all game but so has both goalies. Kane's had a few chances.

Will be interesting to see who wins this shootout. Hard to pick who has the edge maybe USA with their shooters in the shootout vs Bobrovsky.
