Who will win the IIHF World Championships Ice Hockey?

Settled as Russia

Currently the Ice Hockey world championships are being carried out in Canada.

Though I'm not Canadian nor an Ice Hockey fan (there are many from both species on Hubdub - I'm sure) Maybe it is not so popular like NHL over there in the US.

I will post this question, because it's a news topic over here in Switzerland. It seems they (the Swiss) are performing very well so far. Let's see if they can beat the Canadian...

Schedule:
Quarter finals on 14th May,
Semi final on may 16th,
Final on may 18th.

The numbers for this question is not moving in My Open Predictions...I picked Canada and it keeps saying it is at 29% when it should be 50%. It hasn't moved in days.
