Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5349690, member: 1969"] US wins Saturday, and they get to choose who they want to play in the Final (this also assumes Sweden beats Finland) In game 3 against Sweden, Us can rely hard on the 3rd and 4th liners, bottom pai D and backup goalie against Sweden making it much easier for Sweden to win game 3... setting up a final between US and Sweden. That being said its the advantage they earn if they win. Its also part of the problem of a short round robin, leading to a final of the top two finishers. In the old formats of the Memorial Cup, this was believed to have happened a few times where a team "chose" who to play in the final. [/QUOTE]
