Yeah, you would normally think that, but heard somewhere that H2H isn't a factor in this tournament.

EDIT: Never mind. Just checked the tiebreak rules format for myself. Carry on.

H2H is the deciding factor of a two way tie. I was misinformed. Carry on.

Yes, I found that out for myself. NA needed to win in regulation to guarantee their advancement to the semis, by potentially forcing a three way tie.

Not gonna happen now.

Finland needs to beat Russia and if Russia wins in any way tomorrow, NA is unfortunately screwed.

Unless Finland wants to eliminate Russia. You can send team NA to the semis if you beat Russia.

Of course i want our lions fighting for a win, but i wouldnt wonder if players might have problems putting 110% effort on it. Same thing as motivating NA players on bronze game. Also Russia knows they just need to win us.. with how many doesnt count.

Well, it is a pressure free situation for us, but yeah, might not be so motivating having no chance of getting to the semifinals. Hopefully we'll show up and make Russia sweat, or even eliminate them!

1) Total of regulation and OT wins; 2) Regulation wins only; 3) Goal Differential; 4) Total goals scored

That means that Sweden, already before the game against NA, was in the semi-finals with two games won in regulation. Even if they would have lost that game in regulation, Russia couldn't pass Sweden since they've only can get one win in regulation.

Russia beat NA in regulation. That means it would have been a 3-way tie.

So yes, Sweden needed a point.

Like Lari said.
They would be three teams at 4 points, all of them having beaten each other in regular time. Check out the first page of this thread where we discussed it down to the very detail of it ^^
