So Canada will not qualify directly for the quarters.  At this point them losing to China wouldn't surprise me one bit.  Not Canada's Olympics.

Yeah this is gold medal material. Come on against Sweden, the masters of defence from 0:3 to 4:3  that is something.

 

Great thing I made that bet for the title for Finland last month. One more week to gain my money !

Situation after FIN-SWE match and before last 2 preliminary round games

How are the top four teams placed?  Does the best 2nd place team automatically get 4th position no matter what?  

 

I ask because ROC and Sweden are actually tied on points but Sweden beats them on GD.  Does Sweden or ROC sit in 4th?

Already 18 SOG for China against Canada.  They had 16 total against Germany yesterday.  I was at that game.  Germany looked better against China than Canada has.  

Given, 80% of China's roster is Canadian so they have an extra incentive.
