There is pride, and then there is arrogance.
For a country that has two dates with international significance at the professional level(1972, 2002) There is a certain level of undeserved superiority or an ethnocentric mentality that every other country should feel privileged to be playing Canada's game with Canadians. After the 7-3 slaughtering of the Russians, listening to the fan960, many callers had this mighty impression feeling that Canada is the only country capable of playing a physical game and they believed that Canada would just hit any other team out of the rink.
