A thriller that end streak.

 Sweden had a streak of 54 straight wins in preliminary round.  Key word is HAD. Because Russia put an end to the streak with a 4-3 win in overtime. They won it with five seconds to go. Sweden last lost on New year's Eve 2006 to the USA in a shootout. Russia is on top of group B with 8 points (they are done their preliminary round), Sweden with 7, USA with 6 and Czech Republic with 3. Tomorrow has Czech Republic vs Austria, Canada vs Finland and Sweden vs USA.  That's it until tomorrow.

Quarter finals 3 and 4

 Heartbreak for Canada. Lost to Czech Republic 4-3. Rough first, better second and great third until a borderline penalty call on Canada (it was a clean hit) Czechs scored on power play and that was it. Heartbreaking, frustrating and disappointing finish to said game. Other quarter finals had Finland beat Slovakia 5-3. Semi finals has Sweden vs Finland and United States vs Czech Republic. Both games on Saturday.
