Russian hockey icon Vladislav Tretiak thinks that Russia has what it takes to beat Canada in the 2014 Winter Olympics.
A team that boasted Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Pavel Datsyuk coasted through the Channel One Cup tournament this weekend, partially prompting Tretiak's claim. Russia would face big expectations on a larger ice surface after failing to medal in 2010.
