So, since no one else has opened a thread for this yet, I'll do it.
Finland managed a bit too close a win for my liking against Germany today, beating them 4-3 in overtime. Meanwhile Switzerland is leading Sweden. Other than that, no major surprises so far.

Well Switzerland won Sweden 3-2. And that's a surprise. Tomorrow we'll see if Finland can manage to beat Slovakia... that'll be a tight game.

Switzerland is really impressive, 8 points in 3 games so far. Yesterday they beat Czech 5-2.

Whatever position Switzerland gets (probably 1st or 2nd in the group) they will meet a tough team that probably beats them in the quarterfinals. But I hope not. Finland has been playing poorly... big problems against France yesterday, eventhough they have 8 points in 3 games. We'll see how it goes against USA tomorrow.
Petri Kontiola 3 games 7 points.

I was wondering what you were talking about this morning until I checked the results.
What did Tollefsen did again? What an idiot!

It definitely is considering they started their third goalie!

Philou...that would be Antoine Main to you.
And yeah...both Russia and France started third stringer. I think France's third stringer just moved up a notch or two though. LO Freaking L

I don't know what the hell happened behind the scenes between the 2nd and 3rd period. I suspect something that includes shady phone calls and money transferring from owner to another

Team USA has been really impressive. Hard working, skating and efficient
Same with the Swiss. Roman Josi is playing great hockey

Fredrik Pettersson's was one of the best I've ever seen. That's how you should do.

I'm glad it's Sweden against Finland instead of Canada. (Will be an awesome nerv-wracking game for us Finns and Swedes) Finland can't really play against Canada that's why I hoped it would be Sweden who would win. And I hope it's Finland vs. Switzerland in the final!
