The puck drops at 12:00pm ET today and can be viewed on NBCSN and CBC.

The winner will advance to the gold medal game on Sunday at 7:00am ET and face Team Sweden.

I invite you to join in on the discussion.

A late scratch for Team USA is defenseman Paul Martin, who according to USA Hockey is ill. Other reports say he was seen with a wrap/cast on his hand.

Justin Faulk will replace Martin.
