You also may have noticed the poll there on the side. Please try and vote, we don't discriminate against women or children or people with mental problems or dissabilities...everyone is eligible to vote in this wonderful poll of mine.
Quite frankly, I'm not eve sure of the answer. The first thing you think is that, of course, you're going to vote for your country. Canada rocks, hells yeah, and all that. But if you think about it, there's a hell of a lot of competition for them to be dealing with. USA, first of all. Their coaching staff went for the young guns, so they're definitely going to have a lot of speed. They are definitely someone that we gotta look out for. And then there's Russia. We're always afraid of Russia, because they've got most of the best players in the NHL on their team. They didn't even take Kovalev; that's how crazy-ass skilled they are. They've got forwards who can pass, defense who can think, wingers who can skate, centers who can score and hitters who can damn-well hit. But then there's team chemistry. If there's one weakness that Russia's always had, it's been team chemistry. You've got the most skilled players in the whole world out there on the ice, but they're players who play on their own. They can work well with their teams; they get passed the puck and they dispsy-doodle around the goalie like they could do it with their eyes closed. But what happens when you have three players on a line who aren't used to passing the puck? Chaos, that's what you've got.
And then there's Sweden. They no longer have Mats Sundin, which is a definite blow, but think about you they still have. They've got Alfie, leading them with the 'C' most likely and coming back fresh and rested from injury, and then all those young up-and-coming hopefuls, ready to fill the shoes of a much bigger man. They might be a underdog, but just think about the 1980 USA Olympic team. Could this be another Miracle on Ice?
Please submit your votes to find out. The final result will be tallied on JANUARY 31ST AT 1:00 AM.
