Glad you posted this Andrew. Getting pretty excited about this!!! Wish I could attend some of the games, but the higher ups will be in Buffalo enjoying the action!

I'm working on putting the WJC preview together, but for now here's a few notes that I've heard so far.

Canada - This team sucks

Czech Republic - G Petr Mrazek and D Adam Polasek are not being allowed to participate due to legal issues with their club teams in the Czech Republic. Also for those wanting to get a look at 2011 draft prospects, D David Musil is out with a leg injury and will not play. Dmitrij Jaskin is also out due to injury.

Finland - The Finns will be without C Mikael Granlund. He is battling issues with a concussion. Big loss for them.

USA - Jeremy Morin has been released by Chicago and will be playing for the Americans.

Can't wait for this tournament to start! I, like many of you, love watching these games. Should be interesting to see how it plays out this year.

I actually really like the team Canada is going with. Plenty of size, speed and skill. I'm also not buying the whole "Canada is an underdog" theme TSN seems to have going on. I guess you guys get a little tired of always being the favorite eh?

LOVE the idea of having Foligno and Kassian play with Coutuier. Hopefully they keep that line together throughout the tournament. I see they did a little tap dance on Switzerland tonight. Really excited to see them play Sweden and Russia. Should be some good action in those games.
