With Canada US going either way Canada needs that win against Finland next week.
Canada needs at least a point vs USA to stay in control of their own destiny.

Czech has 28 NHLers but only 4 dmen. Nobody else is close.

If Russia didn't have their political issues I think you could have seen 6 teams, with Finland, Canada, Russia, Sweden, USA, and a "Rest of the World" roster because that's really the only way to do it with only NHLers included.
Really you only need 4 teams.

Canada
USA
Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark)
Rest of World
