In order to play us for the gold Canada may have to beat two of the big seven*, not an easy task.
*The big seven are Sweden, Canada, Russia, USA, Finland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Canada will have their hands full with Russia.
Kovalchuk, Malkin, Ovechkin, Gonchar, Federov, Semin and Datsyuk top the list of NHL stars.
And Ovechkin will have Crosby in his sights, just because he’s a nasty player who likes to take borderline cheap shots.
