Re: Team USA--WJC
I predicted the US would lose to Canada in the preliminary round, which they did.
I predicted the USA would have to play the #2 seed from the other side of the bracket. Which they did.
The flaw was that I expected they would have to play the Finns, whom they lost to in the exhibition, or the Swedes, who may be the best team in the world.
Obviously as it turned out the other side of the bracket blew up with the Swiss playing much better than expected and the Czechs sneaking into the two-hole.
The USA blueline and team speed blew Slovakia, the Czechs and Canada out of the rink. This was one prediction I was happy to be dead wrong about. In the history of Olympic format tournaments, the chances of a #3 seed on one side of the bracket in the preliminary round winning a gold medal are probably 1 in 50.
