Sounds like a nice parlay to me. Write is by a friend of mine ( Brian Steinberg, a great hockey guy, and a Canadian).
Russia +1.20 over Canada (REG) Pinnacle
Remarkably, one of these teams is going home tonight when most thought they would be playing for gold. One of these nations is in for a huge disappointment and that’s just the way it is. It says here the host nation is in trouble. Yeah, they outplayed the Americans and yeah, they walloped the Germans last night but so what. There are so many signs that this team is on the way out and we’ll start with the benching of some players. How do you choose the best players in the country and then bench some of them? Chris Pronger played about 2½ minutes in the third against USA. Brendan Morrow doesn’t play much at all. Dan Boyle and Patrice Bergeron are also seeing limited ice time. And how about last night? The score was 4-0 when Rick Nash went through the defense and got tripped up. The Canadians were awarded a penalty shot and coach Mike Babcock asked Sidney Crosby to take it. What? Are you kidding me?????!!!!! Here’s a guy, Rick Nash, that has yet to score in the Olympics and they were up 4-0 on the Germans. They had zero chance of losing the game and had a great chance to get Nash, one of the best players in the world, going. Nash must’ve felt almost humiliated and these small things all add up indeed. Incidentally, Crosby missed. Furthermore, the Canadians have serious issues in net. Brodeur is finished and Luongo looks even shakier. He allowed two goals to the Germans last night after the Germans had scored two goals the whole tournament leading up to that game. If the USA scored five and the Germans scored two on Canada, the potent Russians might score eight. Russia has not even played up to its potential yet but they were looking pretty good against the Czechs on Sunday and they’ll be very ready tonight. Pierre Maguire, the color analyst for the NHL games on CTV, said last night, “Gord, the Canadians are doing this so much better, they’re getting to the net, they’re moving the puck, etc, etc”. Ah, Pierre, they were playing Germany, you moron. The Canadian women could beat Germany. Damn, is he annoying as hell, or what? Anyway, the bottom line is that the Russians are superior in every way and Canada has not faced the world’s best yet and have looked ordinary at best against teams that Canada’s juniors could beat. They have not played Russia or Sweden and they’re about to get exposed a lot worse than they did against USA. Let’s call it 7-2 final. Play: Russia +1.20 (Risking 2 units).

Get real buddy. Why are we so scared of Sweden exactly? They beat Germany 2-0 and we beat them 8-2 
Both goals on Luongo were legit, he did well with 20+ shots on net. The only worthwhile points of this thread I agree with is the douchery of Pierre McGuire and Babcock's mental decision to let Crosby take the penalty shot over Nash.
