I've been looking at their roster, trying to figure out what I think of their team. Great goaltending with Ryan Miller, which always gives a team a chance, but what about the rest? I'm curious what others think of their chances in Vancouver against strong teams (on paper) like Russia and Canada.

No, they won't even see a medal.

You said it yourself great goaltending always gives teams a chance. If Miller can stand on his head against Canada and/or Russia you never know. There's a few solid second tier teams with an outside chance Finland, Sweden, USA, etc.

Anything can happen, especially in tournaments where it's a about a single game, as opposed to a series. Like (nearly) everyone else, I agree that the front-runners are Canada and Russia, but the truth is all the top teams like Team USA, Sweden etc. all have a chance if they get hot.

The 2014 Olympics are in Russia. by way of fact the Olympics have been an open opposition (1995) there have been 4 iciness competitions. Canada has 2 golds, the Czech Republic has a million gold and a bronze. the U. S. has 2 silvers, Russia has a silver and a bronze, Finland has a silver and a couple of bronze, and Sweden has one gold. Canada and the U. S. have been given their medals in the North American competitions. My guess for Sochi is Russia > Gold, Sweden > Silver, Canada > Bronze.
