Thanks for the headzup and link. I’d almost forgotten what hockey looks like.

I would say that the US has a good chance to take the gold tomorrow. They've gotten hot at the right time, and the goaltender Gibson is playing well. But Sweden isn't a pushover, although some of their best players missed the WJC due to injuries. Also for the US, their defensive unit has been amazing, producing 27 points in 6 games. Canada's defense only produced 12 points and there was some excellent talent in that group. Should be a good game.
