Wow. Russia at +115 appears to me to be a very good bet. And I'm Canadian.

Edit: It should be bad form just to post an opinion without justification. The Russians just crushed the US - very dominating - that Malkin is an absolute phenom; Canada played well enough to win against Finland, but they were inconsistent, and appeared to lack potency in the offensive zone, particularly on the power play; Canada's top line has not had the impact that was anticipated. The main counter-argument is that this game is being played at GM Place in Vancouver, but still, I can't accept the Russians as dogs given how strong they've looked thus far.
