Simple question : what country will take home the gold medal from the 2006 WJC?
Please no homerism. Try to be objective.

You just lost some respect I had for you.I predict Canada, Russia, and US will win medals. Which medals they win I do not know, although I will be cheering for Canada as usual.
The U.S. is a strong bet, as much as it pains me to say it. I'll be cheering my butt off for Canada, watching all the games on tsn but I don't know. The team isn't overly strong and as "big head" mackenzie has been saying, goaltending is going to be huge.
I just don't have the confidence in any of these goalies to pull out a game over the Russians, Americans or Czechs.
Watch the Czechs----with Schwarz in goal they could easily take a run. Their forwards are somewhat underrated imo. Just my opinion.

I truly believe Canada will win the tournament.. They have a solid defensive core, and look for Latendresse to really light it up...

on paper I'd say that the US has to be the favorites, but beting Canada is going to be prety dang hard.
Voted US, but it should be interesting this year Canada, Russia and the Czech's also have a chance

My heart says Canada, but my head says US.
I think Sutter left too much talent on the table and stocked our team with too many muckers. I think his goaltending choices are questionable, too.
I hope I'm wrong.

I don't see the U.S. as the clear cut favorites really. Canada, US and Russia could all take the gold. Should be a fun 2 weeks.

I'm not a self-hater or anything but I'd be suprised if Canada even got to the gold medal game this year.
I think the Czechs will win. They have a strong 1-2 punch in net (Schwarz and Pavelec), with a very good offence that includes Frolik, Hanzal, and Krejci.

2 is better than one
I picked the U.S. (and since I already have the homer label, SUCK IT! 
). As long as Schneider holds down the fort the U.S. will be good to go. Top notch offense, defense, and coaching. This is a better team than the one that won gold a couple of years ago.

Canada....although the US looks like the favorites going in, we're playing at home and will have the 6th man behind us...plus, I think we got the best junior coach
however, here's hoping Schremp and Chorney impress on team USA!

I think the US will win. Russia, Canada and Czech Republic have a chance as well. Finland will be in tough to get the gold. They have a good team but they have to beat both Canada and the US to finish first in their pool which will be hard for them to do.
