World Championship Update - Quarter- and Semi-Finals

Hey, guess who's back (this feels like overkill).

Quarter Finals

(1) Czech Republic 4 - (4) USA 0

All you need to know in one line: Jagr scores hat-trick

(2) Sweden 5 - (3) Germany 2

All you need to know in one line: Germany should be happy finishing that high.

(2) Finland 4 - (3) Norway 1

All you need to know in one line: All the scoring happened in the 2nd period, but the main point is: What is Norway doing THAT high up in the standings?!?!

(1) Canada 1 - (4) Russia 2

All you need to know in one line three points:
  • Canada had a 1-0 lead until the third
  • If Russia won 2-1 with half there Olympic Roster compared to Canada's (maybe) 2 players, I'd hate to see what would happen in Sochi 2014.
  • Kovalchuk scores winner (deja vu)
Semi-Finals

(1) Czech Republic 2 - (2) Sweden 5

All you need to know in one line: Sweden 5 - Elias 2

(2) Finland 3 - (4) Russia 0

All you need to know in one line: Finland shuts out Russia, goes for Silver.
