Canada's first match is against Norway. You could have your women's team and probably still win, so it's not really a test.

Keith-Seabrook is the best pairing in hockey right now...both are elite players.
Only a drunk Wayne Gretzky ala Torino would keep them off the team.

Is the USA game going to be on NBC this afternoon or what? Im not understanding : /
Some guesses to help boredom:
Ovechkins will win. They're so freaking strong right now. Canada will be good but can't stand the pressure and will choke at some point. Sweden will get to top three, most likely silver. Finland will disappoint this time, there's something about their team that just feels off to me. USA might surprise because their team is teh suck and all of their opposition teams will underestimate them and then lose.

Smash88, please STFU and stop commenting on anything not related to the Pens. You are absolutely clueless.

What is with all this rage? I can't state my opinion now? What the hell? I'm not questioning why Keith is on the team, I'm just questioning why Seabrook is? Hell I could think of another player that could take his place and add more offense to the mix. But what's the point, I'll just get yelled at for my opinion, since you guys are getting upset over something so trivial as sports.

They are good (I don't know why everyone feels I'm knocking on their skill...), it's just there are better offensive and defensive players that could've been chosen. Why was Morrow or even Bergeron picked over, lets say Stamkos, St. Louis, Lecavalier? Why was Seabrook picked over Mike Green or Dion Phaneuf....this is all beyond me.
Now they stick Iginla to line 4? Just because his team is faltering? That is unfair.
:lol it's funny when I thought about it, i was like "sweet, hockey all day." then realized that most people only care about americans during the olympics and realized there would be no hockey. frickin lame!peterb0y said:
and yzerman built team canada, eh? Dammit. i'm a wing fan... so I guess I gotta root for team canada to get silver this year.
dammit yzey, why'd you take that job?!

Fair enough about Phaneuf. But Green has good defensive as well as offensive talent that he could bring to the team. Lecavalier did start horribly, but now is on fire. I would want players that are on fire going in, not someone you felt was right two months prior.
Again, I can't really say, since I still have yet to see their chemistry on ice. Even if it is against an uneven matchup. I still would've liked to see some of the better offensive talent put into the Olympic team.
Honestly, I hope I'm completely wrong about all my worries and thoughts of the team. Just for some reason I feel it doesn't click. Again this is all IMO, so take it for what you will.
