yep, and russia won 25 golds in 55 years, and canada won 24 in 73 years, see a difference??, also 1961-1994 canada has not won a gold medal and 20 of those 29 years russia won gold, also holding the longest wining streak of gold (9 years), and canada's biggest defeat was 11-1, by russia, i dunno mabey that record will be broken in 2010??
You fail to mention that Canada was also sending over amateur hockey players during this period. All our talent was busy dominating the NHL at the time. Also, we didn't have an olympic hockey program like the soviets did, we simply sent over whichever team won a particular tournament. Eg. The Saskatoon Wheat Kings in 1966
So essentially, Canada was able to win 24 gold medals with a bunch of farmers playing amateur hockey in small towns while the USSR won 25 with a world class hockey program, extreme training regime and government funding. What exactly was your point again?
yeah, i know that, but, why would canada not send its players to the world cup, or even the olympics!!, we will see in 2010 who the real better team is, and wat about 2008, 2009?, and russian players werent even really hockey players by profission, they were in the army
Hard to choose a nation to support in hockey coming from australia. If canada are favourites for vancouver i'd probably support finland or any team playing against russia. Canada look rock solid, great to watch.
I love how the fans boo Heatley but then he pops one in and they all cheer. Man I love this country. If you can put the puck in the net, we can forgive and forget!!
Looks like good defense......if they don't manage to stop Ovechkin...then Ovechkin will be greater then Gretzky cause those are hands down the best and strongest defensmen in Candas last 20 years or so
No offense but this is like team USA basketball activities before they went to the olympics

It's due to a point system you retard.
It has nothing to do based on the players.
