Mens Olympic Hockey

[fjordo]

Figured I would start a thread so people can discuss the Olympic hockey which is not too far away. I know the rosters are not finalized yet, but I'm sure evryone has a good idea of who be playing on each team, barring injuries of course. Feel free to voice you're opinion on who will win, why, or even who should make each roster.
These are the odds which Pinnacle is currently offering.
Canada -132
Russia +270
Sweden +747
USA +1235
Czech +1842
Finland +1959
Slovakia +7876
Field +13372
Being Canadian, and being on home turf, I should be locked on Canada, but as of now, I'm not. Right now I'm leaning towards Russia, who should be able to put together a stellar team, and for those odds...... I'm not big on Sweden, but with the Sedins playing 'at home', well I guess most faces in this tourney will be used to playing in Canada. I guess all it takes to win, is a goalie to stand on their head, can Miller do that for USA?

I look forward to reading everyones thoughts, and happy holidays.

I have this bad feeling Yzerman is going to leave Mike Green off, while adding in the very mediocre Dion Phaneuf. This tournament is won by scoring goals and being able to move the puck and nobody does it better than Mike Green. For Canadian fans, here's hoping lessons were learned in 2006 and the right decisions are made.

Yeah Green better make it, would be a huge joke if he didn't.

Well, he did it. Had to be Green or Boyle.

Hard to go wrong here. Nice to see hometown boy Staal make it. Woulda like to have seen Vinny...he's starting to heat up and can play anyway and anywhere you want him to.

im a bruins fan, but im sure they could of found someone better then bergeron!
some notable missing faces savard, lecavalier, st.louis, doan. Savard would lead all point leaders just in assists.
