yeah, US got lucky with the reseeding. Definitely have a much easier ride into the medal round than Canada, Russia or Sweden.

the QF game could be tough though- Jonas Hiller is very capable of the upset- he almost got the Canadians!

Great point, just ask the Swedes and Tommy Salo.

Tough road for the Canadians with Russia and possibly Sweden to lay ahead.

It's about time, usually the Canadians have a cake walk into the finals in international play.

Chris. I'd like to thank you for actually explaining how it is 'figured out,' and not just writing something that lacked substance like other posters usually do.

If I had to wager on one of the top 4 seeds being knocked out in the quarters, it would have to be Sweden - Slovakia is a VERY capable team and they have looked strong so far (this comment made without me seeing any of Sweden's game though).

 

[Kharlamov17]

I don't think we'll be seeing any upsets. Belarus perhaps.

Latvia all the way if you ask me. Finland has been having troubles with Czech Republic since the beginning of time...
