MEDALS TABLE (GOLD-SILVER-BRONZE)
1.Canada.................8-4-2

Average of final standings is made from last top 6 tournaments. We added there Olympic Games (OG) from 1994 and World Cup of Hockey (WC) from 1996.
All 6 tournaments OG 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2004 and WC 1996 and 2004.
We are going to show you 3 tables.In the first table there is average from all 6 tournaments, in the second table there is average from best 5 tournaments played by each team (only teams with five or more tournaments) and the third table is average of tournaments played only on small size rinks (OG 2002 and both WC).
As an example we can show you how it works for team Canada. Final standing 2nd at OG 1994, 2nd at WC 1996, 4th at OG 1998, 1st place at OG 2002, 1st place at WC 2004 and 7th place at OG 2006. We are counting together all final standing and divided by 6 for all tournaments : 2+2+4+1+1+7/6 = 2,83.

This is one of the key for final standing in Vancouver. As you can see team USA is wee bit worse as 4th place in average, but on small size rinks they are the 2nd best team. Opposite stats has the Czech Republic. This average shows, that long term scandinavian teams Sweden and Finland are better as hot team Russia. Do not miss as well team Belarus, what is example how important is playoff and even more that bottom teams can say a word in top tournaments.
This section is only one part for final standing prediction/estimation. All parts includes :
1, Power of rosters and medal collection
2, Winter Olympic and World Cup of Hockey results/efficiency (all, final round=main tournament, playoff, preliminary round)

For average of final standings we have tournaments OG from 1994 and WC from 1996, because in this tournament players from NHL were part of the teams. From 1994 because of Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia and other teams from former Soviet Union started to play under new names as single countries.
AVERAGE FINAL STANDINGS OF TEAM CANADA (before Vancouver) :
- all tournaments : 2+2+4+1+1+7/6 = 2,833 (1st place)
- only best 5 tournaments : 2+2+4+1+1/5 = 2,000 (1st place)
- tournaments played only on small size rinks : 2+1+1/3 = 1,333 (1st place)
CANADA ALL GAMES (including Vancouver) :
- all games in 60' : 47 27-10-10 160:100 (57,4% - 21,3% - 21,3% 3,40:2,13)
- final round games in 60' : Canada had played all game only in main tournament
- playoff games in 60' : 21 10-7-4 66:45 (47,6%-33,3%-19,0% 3,14:2,14)
- preliminary round games in 60' : Canada did not play preliminary round
We can show an example with team Slovakia. Slovak team had played twice preliminary round. Preliminary round/qualification was part of Olympic tournament, but it was not part of main tournament. Slovakia had played preliminary round/qualification to Winter Olympic 1994, but it was played in the Great Britain and it was not straight part of the Winter Olympic in Lillehammer.
