When Mike Richards is probably going to be your 4th line center, you know your team is going to beat some serious ass. However, the thought of Thornton making the team scares the shit out of me. He's a great player, but he fails all the fucking time.
Having all of Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Malkin, and Datsyuk on one team is a little fucked though. But Canada does look more well rounded.
Sweden looks good too. Lidstrom and Alfie are both getting older (still awesome though) but I guess that's offset by the Sedins being better than last time around.
Teams will probably have to fight to the death to beat Finland again. Great goaltending and many threats there.
USA should do way better than the turd you guys had in Italy. It'll be a young, fast team where the underdog card will be played like crazy.
All these teams have a shot at gold I think. All will be better than Italy too.
