North America is out of the run, favourites for the gold is Russia. Russia is playing Finland in the semi's who's been looking really good. Sweden is playing Czech rep, both teams has been pretty doubtful in the group stage but did well when it really mattered.
Semifinals
Sweden - Czech republic (friday 17:30 ? +1 CET) I predict 3-3, the Czhechs win throw penalties
(Forsberg, Sundin, Alfredsson vs Jagr, Prospal, Kaberle)
Russia - Finland (friday 19:00 ? +1 CET) I predict a 4-1 win to Russia
(Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Datsyuk vs Selänne, Koivu, Jokkinen)
Would be awesome with a Scandinavian final though. I don't want to face the fins fighting for bronze.
