The current odds for the remaining Olympic squads winning the gold, a summary of the past two rounds, an interesting post-game interview of Alex Ovechkin after Russa's loss to Canada, Zach Parise and Ryan Miller carry Team USA against Switzerland, live commentary on the USA-Canada women's gold medal game, a quick NHL refresher course as the Olympic break comes to an end soon and a study that demonstrates that the relationship between outshooting and outscoring at even strength grows as the season progresses.

  • Gabriel Desjardins of Behind The Net Hockey looks at the odds for the remaining teams winning gold, silver and bronze. The most likely scenario for the gold medal game: the United States and Canada meet once again.
  • Chris Burton of On The Forecheck has more on the past two rounds of Olympic hockey, including a summary of the close game between the United States and Switzerland as well as Canada's route of the Russian Federation.
  • Tuvanhillbilly of Japers' Rink has the transcript of one of the post-game interviews of Alexander Ovechkin after Russia's loss to Canada.
  • David Oleksy of Die By The Blade believes after yesterday's victory over Switzerland that the United States has a realistic chance of taking gold.
  • Matthew Dirt of Second City Hockey has put up a live game thread for tonight's women's hockey gold medal game between the United States and Canada.
  • Mike Chen of From The Rink gives a quick and thorough NHL refresher course to all of those who forgot where the NHL left off because of the two week layover from these Olympic games.
  • JLikens of Objective NHL draws the conclusion that the relationship between outshooting and outscoring at even strength grows stronger as the season moves forward.
