[CanuckCity]

Finland lost a lottt of firepower to the NHL this year. On paper looks like a 2 horse race btwn Can & USA for gold. The czech's have a pretty nasty forward group too.

Gold: Can
Silver: USA
Bronze: Czech
4th: Fin/Swe

Fwd: Hughes or Chytil
D: Hughes or Bouchard
G: Dipietro or random goalie from Switzerland that has some unreal games

[alko]

Gold: Canada
Silver: Finland
Bronze: Slovakia

Best F: Martin Pospisil
Best D: Boqvist
Best G: whoever leads for Canada

IMO, if you have Slovakia with bronze, without top Goalie it would be impossible. So, there should be also Slovak Goalie as a Best G.

I thought that Russia looked better than usual in the CHL series this year and the WJC team will be stronger still. I’m not saying they will win gold but I am surprised how few posters are even metioning them. In what looks to me like a very open tournament, they may have as good a shot as any.
