Finland loses against Denmark... gets angry, wins Canada... then think it's okay and loses to Germany in overtime. ](*,)

Tuesday against US the last game. Such a shame it's 13:15 PM here and I'm at work. :doh:

Two incredible upsets against Finland and Canada put Switzerland in the final. I don't think they have what it takes to beat this Sweden team but they've proven me wrong twice already so who says they won't do it again tonight :-D

They pulled off some great performances against those two teams...but as the saying goes the last step is the most difficult one and from this point of view the swedes are more experienced so i'd put my money on them...but on the other side swiss players are very determined and disciplined and i'd love to see them lift the cup so in the evening i'll be cheering for switzerland :-D

Canada, USA, Finland, Germany, Slovakia, Denmark, and France next year for GB. :-D

I believe that GB are unbeaten against Finland (3-0) so hopefully we'll continue that record :grin:

Interesting: The gold medal game between Finland and Canada had 2.5 million viewers in Finland, who watched the full game. 3.1 million people watched at least a part of it. Finland has a population of 5.5 million.

I don't know, it doesn't really say how they know this. They are statistics released by MTV and C-More (including online viewers). Not sure how they would know how many were watching in bars, either... Nonetheless they say it was the most watched ice hockey game in Finnish TV history.
