Olympics Move Into High Gear
It’s the final day of the group round robin competition at the Olympics today, with the top six seeds all squaring off. In the 3:00pm game – on NBC, the Russians and Czechs will face each other for 1st place in Group B. The Czechs have the advantage here, requiring just a point from the game to remain in first, while Russia need at least two points just to jump past the surprising Slovakians into second place.
In what will likely be the most watched game, Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan will look to help the US team against the highly favored Canadians – 7:00pm MSNBC. The US lead Group A courtesy of the Swiss taking Canada to a shootout earlier in the week, but they’ll need a win to maintain their lead at the top of the group.
