Pretty excited for hockey, as usual. I think it'll be Russia ruining Canada's party with the Swedes taking the bronze.

i say gold for crosbyfleury, bronze for malkingonchar and tears for brooks orpik. wings to pick up the silver

real question: who get the big injury

[sweetcell]

should canada make it to the gold medal game (fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc), do you have any idea how rockin' that arena is going to be?  oh man.  the dreams of a nation under one roof... instant epic.

wings to pick up the silver

IDK, that Swedish team is as old as the US team is green. Now that I'm thinking about it, I probably like Finland for the bronze.

good point, but its only 6 games. i guess the quick turn around would be troublesome but i still think they can out pass most teams. really i just want to pick someone to beat the russians and not be all chalk

I think Russia/Canada is a dream matchup. Just on "wow" factor alone, their lineups are ridiculous. Marty St Louis, Shane Doan, and Alexander Frolov aren't on their respective country's lineups -- whereas they're top 6 (if not top 3) forwards on any other roster.

[godsshoeshine]

oh absolutely. ontario or quebec could win a bronze
