3 more wins is what the remaining 8 teams are left to focus on in their pursuit for 2012 World Championship Gold.

Russia capped off going a perfect 7-0-0 in the preliminary round
USA went 6-1-0 (With big wins over Canada and Finland)

The schedule of the Semi-Finals round:

Canada vs. Slovakia (Thursday – 6:00am EST)
Russia vs. Norway (Thursday – 8:45am EST)
USA vs. Finland (Thursday – 11:30am EST)
Sweden vs. Czech Republic (Thursday – 2:15pm EST)

How I see it unfolding in the Semis:
Canada over Slovakia (Always bet on Canada)
Russia over Norway (Perfection continues with Malkin Magic)
USA over Finland (They did it once with a 5-0 Win earlier in the preliminary round and they’ll do it again!)
Sweden over Czech Republic (Only host nation left in the final 4 to be).

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
