hi guys, my apologies if this has already been brought up before and answered. I am curious why there is no game to determine the 3rd place team. The way it is done in the Olympics and World Championships, where the two teams that lose in the semi-finals play one another. It would have been great to see Russia play against Sweden again.
 
There's no medals, only 1 award to win. Think of it like the Stanley cup, Tampa and the Blues didn't face off to determine 3rd place.
 
thanks for the quick reply! yeah, that's true. i was thinking that myself. only one prize really matters here. i guess i just wanted to see russia play another game :)
 
Despite the claims to the contrary by many European posters, North Americans for the most part honestly do not care about third place games.
 
Sweden was better in group stage so if teams are somehow ranked, the bottom is:

3. Sweden
4. Russia
5. North America
6. Czech Republic
7. USA
8. Finland
 
Some people will make lots of money if Team Europe wins.

I think they had lowest odds to win at the beginning of the tournament.
