      I think you are correct! USA and Canada should be well rested.

        There is no way they would have the quarterfinal winners play three days in a row, which would have been the case if the semi were tomorrow. I think there is an IIHF rule against teams having to play three days in a row major International championship tournaments. There is a similar rule in the NHL.

          Sure, I have some fine extra sharp cheddar and some sharp cheddar in the fridge right now along with Swiss, provolone, mozzarella and string cheese. I can never figure out what whine to drink with what cheese, but thinner has a nice neutral flavor that lets the cheese have it's say in your mouth.

          Seriously people, I'm just kidding about Stauber and Rigsby. I think Stauber is a bad choice for the head coach spot due to his lack of head coaching experience. Any one of us could coach this team to the gold medal game with all the talent and great leadership on the team. Hensley played great against Canada, I don't see how she doesn't play in the gold medal game. I am bummed that Rigsby seems to have at this point lost the top dog billing in goal. I am still hopeful of an ARD/Rigsby Olympic battle.

            I have an observation. I was looking for the US/Finland score on USA hockey and noticed they also named the new U18 men's team. The U18 men's team is based in MI. They have a bunch of MI players. The U18 women's program is coached by the MN Associate Coach. They have a bunch of MN players. I'm an older guy now and get the "realities", but I worry there may be a correlation.

                I count just four players, which for a big hockey state like Michigan isn't exactly "a bunch"...but they do have six D1 men's teams, which is "a bunch"! Also bear in mind that these under-18 kids must live and attend high school there for most of the year, something many players not from Michigan choose not to do.

                At the U18 girls level Minnesota has historically produced "more than their fair share" of the teams' rosters, but this has been the case for quite a few years now, predating the Gopher's Associate Coach being named as the program's head coach. And they do have a true national tryout process with several stages, so top players from all states get an opportunity to show their talents. And, unlike the NDTP boy's program, the girls U18 is not year-around as the players continue to play with their local high school/club teams, outside of the few select tournaments that the U18's participate in.

                  I realize they are the host nation, but it is unfair that USA, finishing atop its group, has to play the later semifinal at 7:30ET while Canada gets to play the earlier semi. No doubt Canada (or Finland) would rather play the earlier semi to rest up for the gold medal game the next day.

                  just my $0.02.

                        Not to pick on semantics... Michigan has 7 D1 programs (Michigan, Michigan State, Western Michigan, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Northern Michigan, Michigan Tech). Oh yeah, ZERO women's teams. I digress...

                          France never will.

                          Being from WI naturally I am of German heritage, I have this strange urge for Germany to beat the US. I do fly a German flag on the old flagpole once and awhile, cheer for German F1 drivers and my Eishockey Bundesliga jersey is one of my prized possessions. Deutschland über alles!

                            Germany goes from being promoted to the top championship to the semifinal round in less than a year. Wow!

                              If game is on live I'm guessing NHL Network wanted USA at primetime!? Also easier for the locals to come in and support the home team after work and school to help get a better crowd!

                                I'm sure this is it. If you look at the WJC Buffalo schedule for next year, the USA is locked into the primetime slot for the quarterfinal round no matter where they are seeded.
