I see it as tiers

Tier 1 is the GOLD tier - Finland, Canada, USA, Sweden

Any of them can win Gold and I am in zero shock. Fabulous teams

Tier 2 is the pain in the ass tier - we can upset anyone in the gold tier and pull off a quarter and maybe medal but we cant' go on a Gold run. We all have something good but also have holes in our rosters.

Slovakia, Swiss, German, Czechs, Latvia

Tier 3 is nations that can upset in a round robin or cause a stir

Denmark and Belarus (maybe Austria)
