Hockey Whooha

Do or Die Time!
Well it's that time … time for the medal round of the Olympics hockey tournament. Time to toss out the number of wins, losses and points you must win to move on, period. I won't rant (much) about how I think that all the teams should have to play in the elimination rounds, rather then come in during the ranking round. I think the teams that are ready to plan in the medal round would be different. I hate to say it but I think the Canadian team would be watching from the sidelines at this point. Rant over.
Now the final line up's include the following match ups:
Quarterfinals Group 1
US Vs. Germany
Czech Republic Vs. Russia
Quarterfinals Group 2
Sweden Vs. Belarus
Canada Vs. Finland
My predictions will be the US over Germany by two goals, Russia over Czech Republic by a single goal for group 1. For group 2, the Belarus team by a goal over Sweden (since they have yet to lose a game) and Finland to blow out the Canadian team by three goals.
Several of these games will be over by the time the DFN goes to press, so we shall see how good (or bad) my predictions are. With any luck they will be entertaining games to watch and cheer on your favorite team!
