Interesting change to the semifinal matchups this year:

Under the old seeding, Canada would have played Russia in the semifinal. Under the new seeding, if Canada wins today, they won't play Russia in the semifinal.

If Canada and Sweden both win, Canada will play the winner of USA-FIN and Sweden will play Russia.

If Canada wins and Sweden loses, Canada will play the Czechs in the semifinal and Russia will play the winner of USA-FIN.
