Olympic hockey.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed by the team that Canada has put on the ice for the mens team. I watched the game against Switzerland. It seems to me that Canada has a team full of B-rate players with the exception of a couple of players. I think it was a mistake for Lemieux to not go...even if he just sat on the bench and played a couple of shifts...I don't think they have a leader. I also just finished watching the U.S vs. Sweden. It seems that the U.S has more "superstars" playing than Canada. At any rate, I think that neither Canada or the U.S will be in the medal round...maybe for the Bronze. I think its between the Europeans...Russia/Slovakia/Sweden and Finland. Personally I'm cheering for Sweden but I think it will be the Russians....pesky Russians.

i read somewhere that it might have been an unspoken agreement that if mario took himself out of the olympics, sidney crosby would get to go. but guess that didn't work out.

no leader on team canada? what about ryan smyth? isn't he nicknamed captain canada??? HAHAHA, i can't even keep a straight face saying it...
