Flames Prospects!
The only player the Flames have the rights to at this tournament is:
*** Russia Defenceman #7 Rushan Rafikov (7th round pick 2013) ***
Rafikov is tied for 4th in defenceman scoring behind CAN Madison Bowey, SWE Gustav Forsling and USA Anthony DeAngelo


Playoff Bracket


Leading Scorers




Sweden vs Russia - 2 pm MT
The ever dangerous Swedes and their special teams. Sweden's PP is at 50% and their PK is at 100%. 50% of Sweden's 24 goals scored so far in this tournament are PP goals.

Russia is the most penalized team in the tournament, giving up 15pims/game. Most likely it will come to international reffing and discipline that will decide if the Russians' are playing for Gold or Bronze.

Canada vs Slovakia - 6pm MT
Lets be honest, this isn't the same Slovakian team that Canada beat down 8-0 on the tournament's opening day. They have grown in confidence since then and beat Finland, kept the US to a respectable score and eliminated the Czechs in a shutout.

That being said, unless the Slovak goaltender Godla steals the game, the Canadians should have a berth in the gold medal final. Realistically the Canadians will have to be their own worst enemies with turnovers and defensive miscues to give Slovakia a chance to win this game.
