............ENOUGH SAID

[Ovechkin8]

..or is this not a hockey infested forum?

mainly NFL?

[Trojan]

First line is great. Second is decent. 3rd and 4th are has beens and guys that couldnt make it in the NHL. Defence is old. No depth. They'll get silver at best

Enough Said

C Sergei Fedorov, Washington Capitals
LW Alexei Kovalev, Montreal Canadiens
RW Aleksay Morosov, Ak Bars Kazan

Fourth Line
C Alexei Yashin, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

i see 3 that are not in the NHL and 1 X nhl player.....and still very strong lines....and with lines like the 1st and 2nd they can carry the team there selves. they are young and all energy

[Rich Boy]

Canadians are better and playing at home, lot more determination.

[Ovechkin8]

canadians are overrated.

who is for them this year?

[Ovechkin8]

and dont say crosby first. because you put a big defensemen on his ass and he is a ghost. chris pronger showed that today on NBC

[Ovechkin8]

[minet123]

mostly spot plays been testing my hand at NBA this season and its been mostly
Join the SBR Picks hockey contest it cost 12 points The new one starts tomorrow so wait till Monday around noon before you join

[Ovechkin8]

ill be joining tomorrow for the nhl contest

[reno cool]

expectations are high once again and we have the best players, but it's going to come down to how prepared and well coached the team is. Russian Olympic teams have played like shit since Tikhonov left. Individual prowess doesn't bring the gold. But, I hope you're right.

[Deuce]

3rd and 4th are all has beens. Nothing to debate.

[Deuce]

Canada-G
Russia-S
Sweden-B
USA

[Ovechkin8]

Canada is not winning the gold no way in hell....if anything sweden will beat Russia wont that wont happen. And you mine as well forget about the USA they are a lost cause this year

[Deuce]

Might as well put Bure and Mogilny on the 4th line guy. Russia may get 2nd. It is Canada's to lose.

[Ovechkin8]

Bure is too old lol

Ovechkin Kovalchuk and malkin alone can carry the team
