I want it all, if some guys wont make the trip who will play instead....who will make team Canada? i want the top 6 finsihers and why you think they will win gold silver and bronze.

I guess i will get i started.....
Gold Canada ( a little payback)
Silver Russia
Bronze USA
4th Sweden
5th Finland

I think Canada will win with fleury taking top goalie again, either coburn or suter taking top D and ovechkin taking top forward. Canada is bigger and has more scoring which i think will tak them over the top. the ameicans goaltending is up in the air and russia is always good but have a new goalie. Sweden isnt good, same with finland.....i wouldnt be surprised to see anthoer team beat finland.

 

[Slay]

That is pretty easy

1.Russia (defeating USA in semifinal)
2.Chech (defeating Canada in semifinal)
3.USA
4.Canada
5.Sweden

Best Forward - Ovechkin (WJ Champion 2003)
Best Goalie - Barulin (WJ Champion 2003)
Best Defenseman - Babchuk (if playing)

Go Russia!

Team Finland compansates the lack of talent with great team effort, excellent coaching and the extra boost from a fanatical home crowd. Hannu Toivonen surprises everybody and is the best goalie of the tournament.

One thing about the Russians. So humble...

All I would say is Canada will have their youngest most inexperienced team in years so I feel concerned for this. And will White be 100 percent? Probably not. I am not expecting great success this year for Canada but I will still watch every game.

 

[Telperiën]

1. Russia (I sure hope not! I want Canada to win...)
2. Canada (Again, I hope they go one spot higher than this.)
3. Finland (home team, ya know--)

Canada seems to be a little inexperienced this year... Oh well, I'm hoping they have a good tourny anyway. I left out USA just because (... argh! I'll think of a reason) and Czech (they like haven't won since Havlat's junior days, which is Quite a while ago).

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

I'll wait until the final rosters are out but right now I heavily favor Canada for gold this year.
