So we seem to be ranking Russia too low and Slovakia too high.
I can see the case for ranking Russia as high as 3; home ice and the forward crop; AO, datsyuk, Malkin, Kovalchuk. Also, a lot of NHL caliber forwards might be playing in the KHL for the money and culture.
There is no case for Slovakia so low. The same thing happened in Vancouver, leading me to put 100$ on them. I was bipolar in the slovakia-canada semis.

What did the $100 pay out too?
