Any change in how you're feeling about the canucks now that they've been shut out twice in a row?<br/>I've had the good fortune of watching most of the games (thank you DVR, and well-planned time off work). I'm very impressed with the Finns, and Russians. Through four of the five first round games, I'm very disappointed in the US and Canada. And I'd say the Slovaks are overrated (their goaltending is very suspect).<br/>I see the next round producing some of the best hockey yet. I'd expect at least 3 shoot outs, and an equal number of upsets (based on seedings going in).<br/>The US has put themselves in a terrible spot. One that I would be surprised if they were able to get out of. I'd say the same for Canada, as their first game of the next round will be against a tougher opponent than it should have been. Is it possible that North America takes no medals???<br/><br/>(And thank you Jarrko for illustrating that international standards for helmets are laughable) I applaud your picks.
