Today marks the beginning of the playoff/elimination rounds of the Olympic Men’s Hockey tournament!  It’s the first round so USA doesn’t play due to getting an auto pass into round two for being superior to every other country in the world.

Lineup for today:

Switzerland vs. Belarus 3:00 EST  (winner of this game plays USA)

Germany vs. Canada 7:30 EST

Czech Republic vs. Latvia 10:00 EST

Slovakia vs. Norway 12:00am EST

If you want to look at a bracket, here.

And just for the heck of it: my picks are Switzerland, Canada, the Czechs, and Slovakia
