I have Finland for men's as a long shot, they have the best goal tending. Woman's I'd have to say US this time.

* Finland also worth a shot in woman's as well, small bet at 20-1. No value in betting Canada either men's or woman's big ice surface, big difference.

Out of the ones listed I think USA has most value they have IMO the best goalie in the tourney and a very balanced team.  If they can score enough they should be at least in semis and then who knows.  I still think(hope) Canada gets it done but it will all ride on fragile Frankie and fragile Frankie II in nets that will dictate if we Gold or bust.

If Mikko Koivu doesn't play, they have no shot.  Long shot anyway IMO.  

Lou Nanne likes Russia and he's as good a hockey guy is there is.

Nobody can come close to matching Canada's talent from the D out.  But in a one game elimination anything can happen.

The last player they added to their team is likely a hart trophy finalist.

With Koivu out, Fins will have a hard time scoring goals. They have the best goalies though. 
Reverse of the position Canada is in.

So your saying Jimmy Howard is better than Tuukka Rask or Henrik Lundquist to name a couple.

BTW thanks for your prediction on the Leafs tanking, their 11-2-1 since.   and the Canucks well 

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
