What are your early predictions for the 2012 WHC in Sweden/Finland?
IMO I think Sweden will win it on home soil.

Playoff rounds will all be played in Finland so you can't really call it home soil for Sweden
I'll predict, like most years, the majority of American players that are asked to play will say no, they'll throw together a ragtag group and show uninspired results.
Thats a shame really. Good USA team would be cool to see and make some good games. Instead of those lesser tier players who you know what to expect. I wonder if more players were interested if they knew USA would be a contender?
Everyone else will either be hurt or fake injury so they can play but save face in front of the USA brass.
I'd like for Canada to win gold here, get some redemption from the junior tournament.
Ovekchin and Kovalchuk should be there for Russia as usual.
Heatley and Nash for Canada as well like usually.
