Hockey is still the best Olympic tournament. Too bad, for time reasons, itll be tough to actually watch any of the games.

i'm sure he will. i wouldn't put it past him.

excited for all of the skiing events.

If Russia wins hockey gold, something is very wrong. Team Canada and USA are too talented to not win.

Canada needs to change its captain, from Sindy to Jonathan Toews.

Our goalies might be a problem but our defence is so strong, Norris winner Subban is in tough to play big minutes.

USA only does well in Olympics hockey when the games are in North America, 1972 notwithstanding.

USA has never won Gold outside the USA.

What goalie(s) are you worried about?

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Price had a down season. Puongo might be starter by default which is scary as hell.

Holtby, Crawford are our other two. Other nations will have better goalies although I suspect we will have the best defence and forwards.
