Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5672277, member: 1969"] I'm glad we avoided Sweden... Sweden is a heck of a tough matchup for the USA in the quarter-finals (they are better than a #7 seed). That being said Canada will likely face #8 Czechia, which is not easy. And Czechia has scarred Canada hockey fans by eliminating Canada 3 years in a row in the World Juniors. Also Binnington will start. The most interesting matchup in the quarter-finals might by Slovakia vs Germany (the expected matchup). That game has massive implications for both the US and Canada if the make the semi's, due to "re-seeding". If your Canada, you want Germany to win because that would be your Semi-Final matchup instead of the Fins. If you the US, you want the Slovaks to win because that would be your SF matchup instead of the Fins. [MEDIA=twitter]2023164417337155713[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
