What is interesting is that this means the people who use that site have collectively decided the US has the advantage to win. When you look at how and why Canada lost the first game, an even bet for Canada looks pretty good. And I don't think the US's result against Finland proves anything. (At the same time the late Slovak push yesterday still gives me jitters.)
Canada is -1 at Bodog -105

that means if they win by 1 its a push

and its the generally accepted line, it has nothing about how much people have bet. Its what they set the line at to get people on both sides.

For example at Pinnacle Canada -1 is +106

Canada to win the gold medal is -200, to win in regulation is -127
