WJC: Final day Scenarios

[Daeni10]

You line up really well against Russia... just need to survive 5 on 5 and hope their powerplay doesn't wake up for this game. They can't be over confident with either goalie right now (it's Askarov tomorrow). You are definitely an underdog but you are a damn good team with 5 future NHLer's.

Thanks for the encouraging words and also for the very nice discussions we had throughout the games!

seem like CAN USA RUS have punched their tickets to the semis.

So with the new reseeding going into the semis if Canada,Russia,USA, and Sweden all win their quarters how would it break down from there? Sweden-Russia Canada-USA?

 

[canswetoxic]

Sweden vs Canada, Russia vs USA

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Sweden vs Canada, Russia vs USA

That doesn't make any sense...The two first place teams playing in the semis?

as per standing now,

Group 1
Sweden vs Czech
Canada vs Finland

Group 2
Russia vs Swiss
USA vs Slovakia

if Canada win tonight, it changes to,

Group 1
Sweden vs Czech
USA vs Finland

Group 2
Russia vs Swiss
Canada vs Slovakia

In this case Sweden is the best No. 1 and will play the worst placed team left in the tournament which would be Russia.

Well Canada is winning 4-0 right now so I am going off the assumption that Canada will finish 1st. But the semi's get reseeded this year so it isn't bracket all the way up like you have listed. Just not sure how it actually will play out practically.

That seems right. And if Finland beats Russia, USA plays Sweden

Finland need to beat Switzerland first

Things stay the way they are now you guys have a date with the Finns in a couple days.

Assuming no upsets the semis will be Sweden-Russia and Canada-US?
