Default WJC: Semifinals. USA vs RUS 1pm MT. SWE vs CAN 5:30pm MT.

All 5 Flames prospects at the tourney have made it to the semi-finals, which means at least 3 and as many as 4 will be coming home with medals. The finals will be played tomorrow.




USA vs Russia 1pm MT TSN
Flames prospects:
Russia #19 Karnaukhov 5gp 2g 1a 3pts +2 7sog
USA #8 Fox 5gp 0g 1a 1pts +2 3sog
USA #1 Parsons .9167sv% 1.67gaa

After the heroics Parsons showed in the quarterfinals, like the below game saver, do the Americans stick with their goalie rotation or finally hand over the reigns to Parsons?







Sweden vs Canada 5:30pm MT TSN
Flames prospects:
Sweden #7 Kylington 5gp 0g 4a 4pts +5 13sog
Canada #9 Dube 5gp 0g 3a 3pts +4 5sog

Oh boy, Sweden looks strong. But as Canadian Head Coach Dominique Ducharme pointed out yesterday, Sweden always looks strong through the preliminary rounds and quarterfinals but seems to falter when the games matter (whether he provided the Swedes with some good bulletin board material is another subject).
