They are really banking on the idea that they will be spending the entire time in the offenive zone, anyway, because of their skilled forwards. I suppose that will work until they meet a team like Canada that has just as much skill up front over all 4 lines but a defense to match, too.

I don't see how Canada can lose.

in the end it will come down to who has more chemistry and plays better as a team, and not the TSN/CP player rankings

Obviously, but you can't ignore Team Canada's advantage defensively.

The top US line did not look particularly threatening today.

Technically, it is five minutes later at 2200h Mountain time. NHL.com is putting at five to the hour so the last game is on the same day as the earlier games.

I gotta feeling this game will be over ten minutes in. 15-1 Russia will be the final.

The Russians aren't wasting much time getting chemistry.

1-0 by the KHL line.
