Canada will prolly win. Would be cool if it was the US, but it'll prolly be Canada.

Probably Canada...I saw a pre-tournament game in Columbus, OH a couple of weeks ago, and although the U.S. beat Canada 3-1, all three goals were scored after Canada inexplicably yanked Martin Brodeur and put in Roberto Luongo, the backup. (Well, it wasn't a game that counted, so maybe that's why they rested Brodeur, but Luongo got roasted and Brodeur was unbeatable.) So my best guess is Canada over the U.S. in a low-scoring game...2-1 probably.
If the Us can get passed the Finland, then it would be nice to a rematch of the 96 world cup

I'm actually quite surprised that the US has made it even this far.

In which case, you'd just have to look at the Olympics. Although in a rematch, I reckon Holland would take it.

Finland through to the finals with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over USA! :cool:
They wait for the result of Czech vs. Canada (Sat. night) for the final match-up.

The game is OVER! see above post, Finland won 2-1.
Game played in America with North American Refs played to NHL rules.

Brodeur sustained a wrist injury and so might not make the Czech game, still Luongo is a good enough stand in and should help Canada reach the final.
