Day 8 – end of the preliminary round robin. Now it’s win (or go home) in the QFs; and in relegation, an attempt to stay at the top level in relegation.
Relegation game – best of three games to determine who stays in top grouping, or heads down to next level. Switzerland (Mueller, Rod) vs Germany.
Quarter finals feature Russia (Goldobin) vs USA and Sweden (Bergman, Bergvik) vs Finland. The latter is a traditional national rivalry, so there could be some nastiness.
