Here are the final rankings for the Olympic hockey tournament.
This ranking uses the method employed in Keith Instone's TCHCR
with the exception that there is no adjustment for a "home ice"
advantage. Medal round games are given a weight twice that of
round-robin or consolation games.

Here is an alternate method of ranking which is determined only by
goal differential. There is no bonus for winning a game - only
margin of victory is used in the ranking. Thus, a margin of victory
can be predicted for games not yet played by taking a difference in
the rankings of the two teams to be invovled.
