G: USA - tournament MVP is found here, also best forward,
USA winning gold might be surprise for many, not to me

S: "RUSSIA" - best roster, best coaching, but something's missing here

B: NORWAY - i might not like those asthma cheating skiers,but...
that team is fastest skating,hardest hitting, meanest and
hardest team to play against at these Olympics,they're going places
they're going bronze

___

4th: Germany - surprisingly strong roster, i thought of putting them 3rd
5th: Canada - meh roster, not bad not good,is enough for 5th place finish
6th: Switzerland - surprisingly strong roster, i thought of putting them 3rd...
7th: Slovenia - i like Slovenia's roster, i really do
8th: Korea - the home team kinder egg surprise

9th: Czech Republic - strong forward selection
(even without Jagr),will fail because of sucky D's&G's

10th: Slovakia - old,not gold, really cant say much more about team Slovakia
11th: Sweden - probably worst Team Sweden Olympic roster ever,
with mediocre coaching

12th: Finland - Marjamäki,Marjamäki,Marjamäki also; weird forward choices

Russia and best coaching do not belong in the same sentence. They have arguably the worst coaching besides maybe Korea.

Finland and Sweden finishing last and second last, respectively, is laughable and all your credibly goes out the window.

Something different. Many count Czechs out for some reason.

Canada - Sweden practice game 4-1 to Canada yesterday. That might give some direction to people's predictions.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I see absolutely no way Russia loses this.

Russia
Sweden
Finland/Canada

 

[OttawaKing]

Canada
OAR
Slovenia/USA/Sweden

Just wante to comment and say this shouldnt count in a way. Bettman screwed USA and Canada. I feel like the political unrest in the world is why he didnt want our NHL guys going.

In anycase its not a fair assesment of talent since both North American squads cannot ice their best. While Euro teams cant have NHL guys either they have a far bigger pool to pick from. As such no clue on the podium this could be ugly for both Canada and the states

Did you like just find out they're not going today? There was a whole process, Bettman didn't just decide he didn't want NHLers to play.

Gold: Canada
Silver: Sweden
Bronze: Finland over Russia

 

[Tkachuky]

Canada is not winning this. I don't know how the brackets are or format but one of Russia or Sweden win gold.
