Russia

I have no idea, but 1976, 1991 and 2004 don't count as a best-on-best for Russia

Well 2004 does, I don't know about the rest of those years.

If that were true, 1996, and 1998 aren't best on best for Canada, neither would 1991 be.

Just because the players don't accept doesn't make it best on best.

1976 : USSR sends its B National team with the help of Tretiak.

1991 : collapse of the Soviet Union, there's no National team, and Tikhonov just calls some players to play. Of course the team didn't include the coutries best (Makarov-Larionov-Krutov-Fetisov to say the least)

2004 : RUssia federation is in crisis. Life sucks. A team that usually goes as a top2-3 favorite into a best-on-best tourney is ranked by most as no. 6

As for Canada : since it's a "normal" country, it always has the best playing for it

I'll give you the first 2, but 2004 was your best team at the time that were willing to play.
