It may be contrarian to talk about defense with either one of those teams, but with the incredible array of talent for Canada all sublimating their egos and just filling whatever role the coach gives them ( note to Team Russia, it works, just do what the coach wants. Can't hurt, nyet ? ), and with Team Sweden playing lockdown defense almost as well, the organizers of the tourney better not expect rampant entertaining offense.
Oh sure, there will be games like the Canadian dominance of the Czechs in their opener, and Canada will give up goals. There is simply too much talent on the ice.
