Why does 4-2 Sweden get to play 3-3 Czech Republic while 6-0 Finland and 5-1 Russia have to play each other? Shouldn't teams who win their games get an advantage by re-seeding?

Group games only determine quarterfinal draw. Each half of the playoff draw has a team that ended 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

I know that, I'm saying Finland should've got the team in the opposite group, with Russia getting the other if they are doing it this why. I want to see the two best teams in the gold medal game..

Win = two points, loss = 1 point. Equal Points: direct comparison counts.

In 2010, a win will be 3 Points, Ties will be broken by a shootout and give 2 and 1 Points, loss gives 0 Points.

And you will.

Perhaps you want to replace Sweden with Slovakia in the final. After all they have the better record.
