    I'll be on Sweden. They are always as talented as anybody, but now they have been spending more time together. Getting 5-1 with them is insane.

    Well maybe this will be my first time BBD. But I dont need to have action on a game or event to enjoy it. When it comes time, we will see what the lines are set at, and go from there.

    I have to go with my home country Finland with 1 unit. It's been a tradition for me to toss one unit on Finland winning the tournament every WC and olympic games.

    Needless to say i haven't got lucky yet. Many 2nd places at world championships but no gold after 1995. Ofcourse olympics are better. Very entertaining to watch, as all the pro players are free to play here. Last time we lost to canada 2-1 in quarterfinals at Salt Lake City.

    I will also take one other team with one unit to make it more exciting to watch. With these prizes i probably have to go with Sweden.

    i thinking the single games might be the way to go, when betting these events. these lines are probly gonna have a lot of value.

    Yanks at +1233 for me, but I'm betting more with my heart than head, though it seems like a reasonable line.

    Can't we find someone better than Rick DiPietro to start in net? The USA could legitimately score 10 goals in a game and still lose.

    Sweden?

    While Lundqvist could be a great story, the fact that Naslund has already said he is not playing and Forsberg will likely miss the olympics makes me stay away from sweden..

    This from rotoworld regarding Forsberg...

    Peter Forsberg - C - Flyers


    Even though an MRI taken yesterday revealed that Peter Forsberg's left groin strain has not fully healed, the Flyer center was on a plane to Turin yesterday evening.
    The pull on Forsberg to play for Sweden in the Olympics is tremendous and the he is clearly torn as to his loyalties. "Well, I'm going to fly over and see how it goes," Forsberg said after informing Flyers general manager Bob Clarke of his decision. "It's still not 100 percent and I'm going to rest a few more days and see how it goes. It's not definite I'm playing over there but they want me to come over and see if it heals up and if it feels 100 percent this weekend, we will skate over there and get going and get ready to maybe play a couple of games. Clarke didn't publicly object to Forsberg's departure for Turin, but he and Philly owner Ed Snider weren't too happy about it. Stay tuned. Feb. 14 - 7:38 am et

    Ron MacLean just said Forsberg will try to suit up for Sweden's next game.
