AAAAAh, so close, Latvia...

[PghSkins]

If only Switzerland could score more than one goal a game....

[Gaucho]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[meow]

LATVIA! LATVIA! LATVIA!!

[count2infinity]

Game. Latvia.

[Crankshaft]

They should sign Surovy to be the winger for Sid.

[PghSkins]

Guess it was a good thing but why was Laco still in the net?

[meow]

What a weak call!!

[Rocco]

I'm confused- I thought the Swiss were a dangerous team?

[meow]

They were the most undangerous team.

[Nothing But Nedved]

So Petr Nedved looks pretty fast for a 42 year old... Just saying Shero... :)

Wasn't Slovakia expected to contend for at least a bronze?

[meow]

What mental midget predicted that?

[columbia]

I want to see Latvia make Toews cry.

[Idoit40fans]

I assumed all of the top 7/8 teams not Canada and US were competing for the bronze. Once they were put on the same side of the Bracket, I assumed all of those teams were competing for Silver.

[meow]

compete =/= contend

[Idoit40fans]

Ok then replace every compete in my post with contend. They are equivalent to me.

[SolidSnake]

Why wasn't halak in net? Sorry I'm at work

[Idoit40fans]

Crap I forgot Sweden. That throws everything off. They take the other medal before injuries.

Just because you are playing (competing) for something doesn't mean you have a realistic shot (contending) at winning it.

[Idoit40fans]

Which is why I didn't include Norway, Latvia, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland(ish) and instead said top 7/8 teams

likely some Bruins/Chara fan boy.

[TheHammer24]

Do we know if th semi-final times are set? I.e., do we know if a would-be USA-Canada game is at 6 or 11? Or is that decision still pending?

[Pitts]

I hear they try to keep it pretty neutral....stay in the middle somewhere.

[pens2005]

Latvia is going to be creamed by Canada answer are stuck with a difficult Czech team.

Ugh.
