Rebutal on your Russian team. Whats behind them? Sure you have that top line, but the team has no defence to compete with the Czechs and Canada, and the goaltending is questionable. If players like Kovalev, Malkalin start stepping up, then they will become a force, but to me the Russians aren't going to go to the gold medal game.
Czech does have the depth, and seem to be balance, but like Canada the defencive core is not the greatest. (No one has a standout defence in this tourney).
And if you make a team with no grinders you are not going to win. Doan, Smyth and Draper are great for that and Bertuzzi. Canada wants to repeat for success, not picking all-star calibar players with no PK players. Though I will question McCabe till the end of this tournament (Boyle, Phaneuf should replace him). Its going to be hard to get pass Brodeur and Luongo.
