Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5672380, member: 1969"] Slovakia beating Finland, and Denmark beating Czech's really changed the bracket. Juraj Slafkovsky dominating the Olympics for Slovakia changed everything... they upset Finland, then Finland beat Sweden causing a 3 way tie at 2-1 which was broken by goal differential which went to Slovakia.. Slovakia's goal in the last minute against Sweden (making them lose 5-3 instead of 5-2), was the difference between Sweden being a 3 seed instead of a 7 seed. Since Sweden finish 3rd in their group of 4, they were going to be seeded #7-#9... at 2-1 they were the best third place team, so they got the #7 seed. As an aside, Finland is a fair bit better team than the Czech's who lack depth. But in a 1 game format anything can happen. [/QUOTE]
