What impact will the back and forth travel have on Russia?
The only chance for Switzerland I guess, a lot of speed. This is probably the only place where they really can compete with Sweden, the skating. And Switzerland is a hard team to score 5 on 5, PK and PP are essential.
Canada Russia Finland Sweden
The tournament so far has been 10 times more entertaining than the nhl anti-hockey playoffs this year and now starting with the QFs it should be a 100 times more entertaining. Goals quality hockey and great crowds.
No need to ask the fans to MAKE SOME NOISE or shout let's go pens. They probably do it to wake the fans up in this dreadful series. Nhl playoffs this year are worst than Golf.
So yes Canada 6-2
Russia 4-1
Sweden 3-2
Finland 4-2
Watch Germany upset Canada
Seems as #1 and #2 stays where they are and the #3 and #4 needs to travel. E.g. Sweden would have stayed in Cologne if Russia had won vs the US and Sweden had become #2. Now Sweden is #3 in the group and need to go to Paris. I guess it decides home ice too.
Draisatl will upset Canada supported by a crazy soldout building in a matchup for the ages!
CAN wins comfortably vs GER and all three other QF's are tight "crapshoot" type of games, the IIHF refereeing gonna decide who wins...
Do we already have the information who will be the referees?

USA vs FIN tight???
If anything could go even more wrong, Finland will find a way to make it to the semifinals and why not to the finals as well. Marjamäki will never leave and hockey gods will be happy
I don't want them to win, I just want this ****** tournament to be over for us as soon as possible.Finland have not convincing in 10 tournament matches(WOH and WC) as a result of. And now in QF will they suddenly Top??? Sorry i ve not so much fantasy .
