Post you power rankings after February 18th games. With or without comments.
Mine :
1. Slovakia : fastest team in the tournament, has beaten two big opponents. Only weak spot, the goaltending, but no mistakes so far.
2. Finland : a close second. I believe Finland is better than Slovakia thanks to its defense. A win against Canada makes Finland the heavy favorite to win the gold.
3. Russia : a big turnaround on defense and especially goaltending makes Russia a serious contender. The last "superleague stlye" game isn't very conclusive.
4. Canada : look out for Canada to rebound tomorrow after one of the biggest upsets in the history of the game.
5. Sweden : the return of Peter Forsberg is a huge boost. Sweden has a lot to prove tomorrow against the USA.
6. USA : very strong game against Slovakia, but like for Sweden, the next couple of games will be decisive.
7. Czech Republic : bad, very bad.
8. Switzerland : Aebischer + Gerber = Olympic Gods.
