Would have mattered if Canada beat the Swiss outright. But the two-way tiebreak goes to the match between the tied teams; we would take it vs. Canada, but lose it vs. Sweden. Canada can only get to 8, and Sweden's already on 9.
This game is only half over too. I wonder how Canadian fans feel needing to take this team to OT yesterday?
I can't put TOO much stock into this. SUI have played their 4th in 5 days now, including their second game shorthanded due to suspensions and whatnot. Add into that a deflating SOL yesterday, who knows how much they had left in the tank.
I will say it's very good to see the USA dictating the game and having their way with the Swiss, as they should.
