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

I wouldn't rest any hopes on Russia not showing up. Russia has a history in all international tournaments of coasting during prelim games, or games of little importance only to ramp it up when the games matter.
Russia will be ready for this game you can count on it.
