And then there were four! We’re down to the final four for the Men’s Olympic Hockey Tournament.
When I sent out the odds before the tournament started, the top four were Canada, USA, Sweden and Finland.
Three of those four made it to the semis, but Slovakia earned their way despite having the eighth best odds at 80/1.
Finland won the gold medal in the last Winter Olympics in 2022. Canada hasn’t won since 2014 and the United States hasn’t won since the vaunted 1980 team.
Slovakia has never won the gold medal but did win the bronze in the 2022 Olympics.
The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have updated their gold medal odds and opened the semifinal game lines.
