Eight teams took to the ice on Saturday looking to advance to the semifinals and a chance to win a medal. After a long day of hockey, the four finalists emerged. There weren’t really any surprises. Russia, Canada, and the Unites States advanced as expected. It was a toss-up between Sweden and Finland with the Finns fighting back to win a hard-fought game.
All four of the games were interesting and close. Three of the four teams that scored first won their games, but no one had a lead of more than two goals prior to the final minutes.
