After 11 days of action, only two European countries remain in the running to become the next Olympic champion, as the other two fight for Bronze.
It would be interesting to see how many people bet on both Canada and the U.S.A. being entirely absent from the final four. Given the circumstances, namely the NHL refusing to allow its players to participate in the Olympics, the number is probably higher than intuition would suggest, but for the first time since the 2006 Turin Winter Games, the Canadians and Americans will not see the podium for Olympic ice hockey on the men’s side.
