The possible lines of Nash-Crosby-Iginla, Marleau-Thornton-Heatley, and Staal-Getzlaf-Perry, Morrow-Toews-Richards seems too surreal!

The chemistry that this team is able to have is a luxury, especially with the Thornton and Getzlaf lines.

On defense, we have several vets to go along with a few youngsters. It may be risky having so much youth on the blue-line, but you have to move on to build for the future I guess.

Lastly, between the pipes we are absolutely solid. 3 proven goalies get their chance at gold. Brodeur is arguably the best goalie this year and having back-ups like Luongo and Fleury, I feel very safe.

Now with Bergeron expected to miss a minimum of 2 weeks with a right-hand injury, it will be interesting to see his status on this Canadian Olympic team. Whether or not he stays on remains to be seen, but I believe their are better candidates to fill his void such as Jeff Carter.

Go for gold!

They put together a nice balance of skill and grit with players ranging from Patrick Kane to Backes. Along with two way players with the likes of Callahan and Dustin Brown.

I think that USA will be a suprising team this year, considering how well Ryan Miller has been playing this season. He, alone, can steal games away from highly talented teams.
