First off Dave in Detroit.......Stop waving the stars and stripes before you have a chance to cry in your pity when Canada nails the American's hockey ass to the ice in the gold medal game. And that's even if the USA can make it that far.
The only thing you said correctly is that it takes heart to win gold. And we have plenty of that. Because in the Winter Olympics, you Americans can have all the two-man luge, and figure skating medals you want. Up here, there's only one medal that counts......And Oh Canada will be played after our men kick the world's ass in hockey once again.

John Grahame starting in goal for the United States. Smell that? It's called gold. ;D Maybe Matrin Brodeur can play against the Italian team again, which has members of my beer hockey league on it, and allow two more goals from people that picked up sticks last week. HEY-O!

Gold: Czechs Silver: Canada Bronze: USA
As much as I want to pick Canada out of the medals, I'd be lying to myself but I do geniunely belive the Czechs will have far better chemistry on the ice then the Canadians...final of the gold medal game 5-2, Czechs win!

Arturs Irbe is my hero... No really the 3-3 tie between U.S. and Latvia just shows that this tournament is up in the air for anyone to win because in a one game showdown anything can happen.
That being said I like Canada, the Czechs and Sweden in the medals. These teams have the edge in their abilities to come together as a team faster. And it is true the will to win on team Canada may be the only difference separating the three.
In other news i pick Italy to finish Last. However they will tag a lot of puck bunnies in the process.

The US needed a fast start to the tournament in order to do well. This is going to be Nagano all over again. I just hope the team doesn't riot like they did in Japan.

The only thing to make me feel better regarding the United States loss to Finland, which they played well against, is for the Canadians to lose to Russia.
GO RED! GO RUSKIES!

Hey Doan played extremely well. Its the big guys who didnt show up at all. Draper, Doan and Smyth all played well. The issue is from the top down. Need a change from the old boys club that Team Canada is.
