Almost every team have a legit chance of beating Canada on a short tournament like the world cup or the olympic. The most important is to built a quick chemistry. The main difference with the Canada team is the leadership factor. Almost all their players are Captain or have a huge leadership role in their respective team. Beside that all the team have lot of talent and skill.

I look at the three biggest competitors for Canada (USA, SWE, RUS) I think they all have Canada beat in net.

Are there any young, stud blue-liners coming out of Russia soon? Romanov is the only one I know, and he doesn't even have Provorov or Sergachev upside. That country produces so many elite forwards and goalies but no defenseman.

Statistically maybe but Price have proven that he can be the best in international tournament. Is statistics are completely insane with team Canada. Goaltending would be a problem for Canada. Is save pourcentage is over .950 and is goal against average is around 1.00 The fact that Price have poor stats with Montreal the past 3 years
Is mostly due to a very poor team structure. In fact the team have been so bad that when it not Price in goal the Habs have allowed around 4 goal a game and the save pourcentage of all the goalie combine is under .900.

Zamula was good at the WJC this year and Daniil Chayka from the Guelph Storm is supposed to be good
