The preliminary round is complete, look for a new savefile tomorrow which will include the a round of elimination matches to determine the quarterfinals. As far as tonight's action went: the Russians go down again, this time against the Czechs, the Canadians pepper the US with shots on their way to a big win while the Swedes outduel the Finns on the unlikely golden stick of Mattias Ohlund. http://www.ehechockey.com/Olympics.zip.

It was going to be pretty hard for that to happen.....I don't think I saw AO skate anywhere near the middle of the ice the entire game.
