Well, it's pretty much a given that the game is going to get very physical. The USA has always played a strong physical game (as does Canada at times), but the Russians have also learned over the years how to dish out the punishment.
I think the Olympic referees have been instructed to not let things get out of hand though, and as we've seen lately they WILL call a lot of penalties and give out game misconducts when push comes to shove. Part of me wishes they'd just let the players play, but I don't want to see a physical war out there either, I'm looking forward to some great skill and gamesmanship from both teams. Hopefully they took a cue from the Canada-Belarus game and the example they set.
Fighting won't get either team anywhere, not in the Olympics.
