Team USA beat a Victor Hedman-less Sweden in overtime to advance to the semi finals on Wednesday. Now they face an upstart Slovakia team that is turning heads after every game. This is a team that beat Finland in round robin play and Germany in the elimination round. This team is no pushover, and it’s not like Team USA has been steamrolling opponents like the gold medal winning women, who allowed just two goals all tournament. Still, this is a game USA should win. Should.
