I thought Switzerland would be dangerous. Hiller looked awesome, and they had just enough offense/skill with Nino Niederreiter and that stifling defense. But man, they just choked their collective neutral chickens.
In my dream world, we find a way to beat Russia for the gold. But getting past Canada is about as tough as it gets. I could see a scenario where the winner of Canada/USA is so beat up that they lay an egg against Sweden. But if Russia's there, whoever it is will be ready.
