EDIT-
The Russians have already lost a game as well, so how in the world can they be the favorites? Canada is still undefeated, and if they win tonight, will have the best win. Russia's win over the Czech was huge today, but a Canadian win over the US team that is playing as good as any is a huge huge win

Do you feel any differently now Biggin? The Russians beat a fine Czech squad yesterday,while Canada after barely surviving the Swiss gets outhustled by the Americans. Luckily the 2 will meet to decide in the quarters (assuming Canada handles Germany as they should),and even better being that 1 of those 2 will be bounced after the clash:2thumbsup:
