Will the US men's hockey team win Gold?

  • Scarlet_Buckeye
    Can they? Yes.

    Do they have the easiest road? Yes.

    Will they? Probably not.

    Can someone please explain to me the path for us to get to the gold medal? if we win today, who do we play next?

    Is it single elimination now, or how does that work?

    Thanks!

    Not doing to well against Switzerland so far. Still 0-0.

    It's now an 8 team, single elimination bracket. Should the U.S. win today, they get the winner of Finland/Czech Republic.

    If the US beats Switzerland today, they play the winner of Finland/Czech Republic in the Semifinals on Friday at 3:00 PM EST.

    On the other half of the bracket, there is Russia/Canada and Sweden/Slovakia playing tonight in the quarterfinals. The winners of these two games will play one another in the second semifinal at 9:30 PM EST Friday.

    Should the US advance to the finals, they get the winner of all of that Sunday at 3:15 PM EST.

    0-0 after two periods despite outshooting the Swiss something like 32-8.

    U.S. got 1 and now another waved off. Switzerland oh so close on the other end hit the crossbar. 1 - 0.

    US didn't play well, luck was against them, Hiller was pretty good, and we got hosed by the refs on what should have been our second goal. Glad that one is behind us. Gotta buckle down for tomorrow's game, it ain't the pee-wees anymore.

    I am pulling for them but I think the Canadians take it.

    Better play better Friday than they did today. If not, the Czechs or Fins will put us away and into the bronze medal game. Canada is crushing Russia right now so it looks like they will move on for sure.

    US will play Finland in the semis on Friday. Going to be very tough for the US as Finland is playing extremely well.

    Where's the love for the women? U.S. women play Canada later today for the Gold Medal.
