Russia has also been succesful offensively vs. weak teams.
But they have also been succesful vs. strong teams like Czech Republic, something Canada has not done.

Russia scored 5 goals in two games against the Czech Republic and Slovakia for an average of 2.5 a game. Canada still got 3 goals against a red hot Ryan Miller when they lost.
Difference was that the Russians didn't have a game where they gave up 4 goals and than had to pull the goalie.
