So pissed I didn't come into this sooner, but looks like it's two preliminary games in already, so here we go. USA leads thus far in Group A over CAN, FIN and RUS with a 2/0 record and a 8:3 GF:GA advantage
JPN leads Group B with 5 points and host country SWE is behind by one point. Very clear to me that this should come down to a USA/SWE Gold Medal match IMO, as placing USA/CAN in the same Group was death for either very early on.
