One thing that may work against Canada this time around is the weak pool they are in. Historically they have done better facing adversity early on in the tournament, but at this rate they'll likely finish 1st in group B and not face a good team until the semis.
If you enjoy underdog betting, Finland at 12-1 is a nice choice.

That was a nice dig by Selanne at the press conference too.
*Paraphrasing*
Reporter: "Everyone is saying that the Final is going to be Canada-Russia"
Selanne: "I hope I can get tickets to that game but we hope to be there."
