Huge Olympic upset: Germany tosses out Sweden, plays Canada in the semis

The 2018 men’s Olympic hockey quarterfinals are over, and one huge upset opens up the road ahead for Canada.

Last night, the USA lost to the Czechs in a shootout, and then the Russians did the expected and destroyed Norway 6-1. That sets up one semifinal.

The other semifinal will feature Canada, who won a nail-biter over Finland, versus the winner of the biggest hockey upset at this Olympics.

Canada, who lost Ben Scrivens in the second period when he was bowled over by a Finn who had been knocked into him, carried a one-goal lead through to the end of the game against a Finnish team that just never seemed to control the puck.
