Derek Roy got a hat trick - Roy! Final score over Norway 8-2.
Two goals from Nash, one from Getzlaf, Toews and Heatley. Ward in net - Hitchcock is pleased with both his goalies.
Sweden next for us (they beat the Czechs 3-2), and they are going to be a much tougher meeting - although the paper let's us know there is no Sundin, no Forsberg, no Alfredsson, no Sedin, no lidstrom (of course).
Canada's all time record vs. Sweden - 28-24-5.
Sad news and somewhat shocking - US lost to Finland 3-2.
Russia beat the Swiss 6-0 so they will play Finland in the semi finals.

Cool. Esche in net! Interesting!

I'm still hoping that the finals might end up televised over here somehow!
