Hmmm...maybe it's a language thing, but it was a playoff qualification game not a friendly, it was 4-0 not 4-1, Kopitar not only played but scored and Grabner/Raffl/Vanek all played for Austria...

I'm not doing well either...I wish I'd gone with my gut feeling, because I liked Slovenia (no real reason) and I liked Latvia (because of Ted Nolan), but I looked at the predictions of others and didn't have the courage to go against the majority...

Same thing for me. Used head instead of gut on both. One of those two always messes me up in these things. Went with head on both, and gut was telling me not to. Swiss just scored....maybe...who knows.
