Thanks, Canada, for tiring out the Swiss.

I haven't caught any of the game today but the Swiss looked damn good defensively yesterday and this score really surprised me when I went to check.  You could tell that the Swiss probably wouldn't have the horses to come back if they got down a couple early but because they scored twice to start the game against Canada they just played Devils style hockey the rest of the way and held on for dear life.  Reminded me of the Olympic game Canada played against Latvia except the Canadians weathered the storm that day because they didn't get down early.

Who else remembers this beauty from 2010?

I do .. A very good, exciting, tense, and satisfying tournament. IIRC we LOST gold IN Canada.

 

edit to capture the actual result - and not my mind seeing Miller make that save!

My sons traveled on more than one occasion at this age where they, too, played on outclassed teams. It's tough on the players. There are few "moral victories" for 17 and 18 year olds. The schedule did Switzerland no favors and they'll be fighting to avoid relegation.

I would think that Belarus would be the team for relegation. According to the results on the first post of this thread, they have lost every game by a significant margin thus far. and don't appear to have any games remaining.

Quoting myself since I did a minute worth of research and noticed that the bottom two teams play a best of three playoff for relegation. So it looks like it will end up being Belarus v Switzerland.

10-1 is impressive... hope they keep it up.

Like the Bills - Raiders AFC Championship game ... 51-3 in a game that wasn't as close as the score would indicate.

 

Halfway scores of 9-1 and 41-3.

Is there any way we can finish first in the group?  Such as Canada beating Sweden by a certain goal differential or something?

 

EDIT:  No.  No there is not.  So we play wither the Finns or the Czechs next.

Saw a bit at our local rink TV, USA 4-1 over the Danes, Danes were big and physical with US, but Us out quicking them. Still a bit too cutsie with the puck.

I'll never forget it. Sitting on the couch and holding my drink tight. Parise buries it and I jumped up and the drink flew out of my hand. At that moment I wasn't even concerned about cleaning it up. After Crosby.... crap not even going to say it. We all know what went down. I immediately turned the tv and tended to mess I made. Still, it's one of my favorite hockey moments. A late game tying goal w/ Miller pulled in the Gold medal? Simply priceless.

Next up for U.S.A.: Czech Republic in the quarterfinals - Saturday at 1:00 PM EST

Finally, they don't play Russia in the 1st "real" game.

 

Glad they wouldn't have to play Sweden again until the finals assuming they both win their next 2.
