Working tonight so no game summaries. I'll do a final standings thought. Here are my picks for tonight.
Bronze Medal Game - Canada vs. Finland
The key word here is motivation. Finland will be motivated to try and get revenge, so it all depends on how motivated Canada will be. They will either be down and not be up for the game or will be playing for pride. Either way, they won't be as dominate as they were in the first match-up between these teams. I think Canada just wants to medal out.
Prediction: Canada 4 - Finland 3
Gold Medal Game - Sweden vs. Russia
In their first meeting of the tournament, Sweden won in overtime 4-3. What the score doesn't say is that Russia had a 3-0 lead going into the third period before blowing it. In the tornament, Russia has been able to score at will compared to Sweden, so the problem is will Russia be able to not blow the lead. Tonight I think this game will be more back-and-forth with Russia being able to hold the lead and not give it up.
Prediction: Sweden 2 - Russia 4
