Leary of Canada and the US on the big ice surface.
Canada and the US no medals in 1998 or 2006, but they went gold and silver in 2002 and 2010 on the North American ice! Something to keep in mind.

Datsyuk (via interpreter) on Babcock saying he's not 100%: "My injury does not bother me at all. Babcock is not my concern right now."
Star center Pavel Datsyuk practiced for the first time Tuesday with Russia and proclaimed himself fit to start the tournament.
"Excellent," the Detroit Red Wings star center told reporters when asked how he was feeling after missing Monday's opening practice.
Then asked on his injury which kept him out about a month with Detroit, he said: "What injury?"...
"Yes. I'll play in the first game," said Datsyuk, who skated Tuesday between Alexander Radulov and Ilya Kovalchuk.
It's clear there's no way Datsyuk would miss a chance to play for Russia in a home Olympics, saying he's been preparing for it "all of my life."
"It's a good feeling," added Datsyuk. "Now, to come back and play in a home Olympics in front of your fans. It's an unbelievable feeling."
