Actually, now that I've thought about it, if Canada and the US win, the semifinals will be rematches of the last three gold medal games.

Except for Latvia, all of the remaining teams have played for the gold medal in the NHL era.

It's also interesting that the Soviet Union/Unified Team won gold in 8 of the 10 Olympic hockey tournaments they participated in (their only losses were in the two games hosted in the US and won by the US), but Russia has not won since the Soviet break-up.
