Well, all tickets are already purchased, but as far as purchasing a scalped ticket, I couldn't even imagine.

That is of course assuming that both those teams make the final, which I would never ever assume that, in my mind there are 6 teams that have pretty much equal chance of making the final game, probably even 7.

I didn't know that Canada and Russia were the only teams in OG 2010.
Gosh the Russian and Canadians fans are so cocky!

You mean Finland - Sweden rematch for gold?

Probably $100 USD or something around there. I'm sure the cheapest tickets at the very top can be had for less.

This arrogance is unbelievable

In the last few years many Europeans were cheering on Russia to beat the Canadians, because of the Canadian arrogance, sadly the Russians are slowly learning from their Canadian counterparts.

Hopefully, somebody else will take the win, even if they do it the way Sweden did last time around, because if there is CAN/RUS final the dear fans of these countries will be unbearable....

Realistic?? Remember 2006??? No one predicted a Sweden-Finland final right????? You are cocky!!!! In a OG six teams have almsot equal chances to be in the final. Learn your homework from earlier OG. Since 1998 we have six different teams in the final. Well you and the rest of the Russian fans can continue to be cocky because it will only hurt team Russia. That's for sure. Against the best team Russia and Canada has been in final one time each. Sweden has a Gold medal, how many has Russia?

We all know that it is going to be Canada-Russia final and if you think otherwise you are being naive

We all know it will be Sweden-Finland in final. It's way more realistic since this already has happen.

For all we know, Canada-Russia could face off in the semifinals or even quarterfinals, if one of the two loses a game or two in the round robin portion.

We may be cocky but we are good enough to be cocky. They are easily the two best countries right now. i dont know how you can say that there are 6 or 7 teams that have a good shot at winning. In my opinion there's Canada, russia, and maybe czech and sweden that have a realistic shot at winning, the rest are underdogs, doesnt matter how u look at it.

I think history has shown enough times that anything can happen in the Olympics. And like it´s been already said Canada and Russia can easily meet in the play-offs prior to the final. Not that you´re not the favourites, but it is ignorant to see yourselves in the finals months before the actual tournament has even begun and you´re gonna fall on your mouth one day with such an attitude.

Uhhh?? Remember 2006???? The final teams were SWEDEN and FINLAND, right?????? Canada was kicked out from QF by Russia. And then Russia was beaten by the "undrdog" Finland 4-0! You don't have learned your homework right. Since 1998(when the best players started to play OG) we have SIX DIFFERENT teams in the final. And you say that's NOT six-seven with a realistic shoot on final and the Gold medal. SORRY BUT YOU ARE COCKY, but not good enough to be that! How you know tha Canada will get their ***** out from OG already in QF, AGAIN?

Nagano'98 the semifinals. =)

That lead Russia to the finals to meet up super hot Hasek (the Czech) and Finland to meet up Canada in the bronze medal game.
