Don't know why this hasn't been talked about more, The Russians haven't looked like the best team in this tournament at all.

They have up a ton of chances to Latvia, they lost to the Slovaks, and they got lucky on an early whistle on what should have been a Czech goal or that game is tied in the 3rd.

I think its going to be a great game, they are Canada's biggest rival and its one of the best international rivalries in sport

gonna be fantastic
