With all due respect, Russia is the class nation in hockey at these Olympics. Since they are playing at home, Canada will win a bronze, which is not a small feat. But Russia takes the gold easily. Enjoy the games everyone.

Funny Whiskeyjack. But in reality, your own GM believes the great Russia will win:

"Do you think they will have a parade in Moscow if the Russians go home with a silver medal?" Yzerman asked.

"They won't. The expectation in Russia is gold and the expectations in Sweden is gold and whether they admit it or not the USA is in this to win a gold medal.

"The Russians won last two World Championships and they are bringing their best players so they are the No. 1 team in the world right now. They are the favourites."

Need I say more?

Nope, you have proved you know nothing about hockey..The world championships?...they are the poor second cousin to the Olympics, not every one's best goes to them....maybe the Russians, since so many are around at that time of year, you know, cause their NHL teams are out of the playoffs and all....and you might want to listen to the entire Yzerman interview before taking something like that out of context.

you guys may have the power forwards but we have the whole package

Too bad you didn't bother to post the whole quote from Yahoo;

$1:

All of us are playing to win the tournament, and every team that doesn't will be disappointed. That's how it is for all our players that play in the NHL every year. If you don't win, it hasn't been successful.

You gotta wake up real early to beat a Canadian hockey fan....nice try though!

Russia will be put in its proper place by the "land of ice and snow" where hockey is not a sport, it is a religion.
