Shane said:Two for sure. Three is stretching it. Past that, I don't think they have a chance.
Shane said:Whoa, someone doesn't think very much of Mike Ricci.
Komisarek8 said:you think Belfour would be #1 in front of Joseph and Theodore?
Shane said:They'd have a better chance of fielding the most amount of competitive teams if they spread the talent out a bit, instead of having one "super-team".
Danny__K said:yeah i don't think they'd be favoured to win gold but i think they could ice 4 teams all of which would have a shot to win it. The problem mainly would be goaltending depth.

Boucher is american and Osgood is not very goodTheFinalWord said:It wouldn't if you went with 2 strong goalies and then a 3rd as a safeguard that is perhaps a rookie or lesser player.

There are a lot of quality players that I'm sure I've missed, since I was going from the top of my head and looking at the scoring leaders. The fourth team could compete, and while they wouldn't likely win gold, I think they could certainly compete for bronze. There are countries that have the top end depth that Canada has, but no country has the same depth. The four teams listed above could certainly all finish in the top 8, although the top 10 is probably more reasonable.
