Nobody knew what to expect from Team Canada's Men's Hockey team heading into the Olympics, but everyone knew they would play hard and make this country proud.
On Wednesday morning, they did just that and moved one step closer to winning gold as they defeated Finland in the quarter-finals 1-0 to advance to the semis.

That was a real gutsy performance from Team Canada to knock off Finland. Some big face-off wins in the final minute by Ottawa's Eric O'Dell.

Even without NHLers we get the same results in Men's hockey. Canada will be playing for a medal, while US is going home with a participation ribbon.

Your Olympic men's semifinals: Germany vs. @HC_Men, Czechs versus OAR. Canada's quest for a third straight Olympic gold in men's hockey remains alive.

The one selling point for the men's Olympic hockey tournament was that it could be unpredictable. Germany beating Sweden in the quarters was proof of that. Stunning result.
