I think a big difference that has not been mentioned is the international ice surface. Consider that the 2006 WJC, 2005 WJC, 2004 World Cup, 2002 Olympics were all played on NHL ice surfaces, and Canada won all of them.

2002 Olympics was not played on an NHL surface.

I know it was played in an ECHL arena, which would have NHL ice surfaces.
