Schneider is miles better then Howard. I am sure it won't come down to the third guy but how Howard is there over Cory is just crazy to m. Never been a big Howard guy he seems like a more then capable starting goalie but nothing special by any means especially with the players that play in front of him or have.

I have no idea why Schneider was left off the list. Baffles me.

Moulsen will not be going to Vancouver. Gillis has been burned every time he gets a rental player at the deadline. Stick to the east coast rumors EK.

Im kind of happy we have been and will likely continue to go to him the rest of the way so the rest will do wonders for us now if only it wasn't our oldest players going to the olympics lol

Sure. They are in a position to be picking in the top 10 right now. Even if they got a wild card they would get bounced in the first round. No way they trade a draft pick for Moulsen.

CANADA - too much talent, despite the past record on big ice.

SWEDEN - lots of talent there too. They will miss Henrik Sedin.

RUSSIA - not nearly talented enough on D for gold or silver, but it will mean too much to them not to medal.

Really? You think a defense corps that includes Justin Faulk, Paul Martin, and John Carlson is better than a defense corps where PK Subban is currently the 7th guy?

It astounds me that you're able to make a living off of hockey.

I agree. USA defense is horribad compared to Canada's.

stick to breaking big trades, big guy.

Canada seeded out in what has to be the easiest division/pool. Division/pool winners advance as well as the best 2nd placed team & get buys to the 1/4's. The remaining 8 playoff to advance. That should garner Canada the weekest team in the 1/4's advancing them to the semi's comfortably. The road for almost every other team is substantially more difficult. Canada won't play a really strong contender until game 5 in the semi's.

Canada to play Russia for Gold.
Sweden to play the US for Bronze.

US defence is the best? Ummmm....no.

Not even second best imo. Orpik? Faulk? Fowler? Carlson? I mean come on. Canada left better dmen at home.

I'm guessing you're new here.

You guessed wrong.

(Not being serious) you may have missed where Garth said Moulson was going to get 3 of Ottawas best young players.

Canada's offence and defense is just too strong. Tavares will be dominant. Still can't figure out why the US didn't pick Okposo....Biggest omission by a long shot

I got banned for 48 hours for responding to Garth's Buffalo bias. I simply no longer read any of his posts. The biggest homer & zero credibility.

Awesome, let him go to Ottawa then.

Remember the blogger who would constantly jizz on his keyboard about FREAKORENKO!? Yeah, he was so good we decided to give him a feature blog.

It's obvious most of us agree on the top 4. Canada, Russia, Sweden & US but their are some wild cards in there that could spoil the party. It's going to be exciting hockey. Goaltending is most likely the biggest determining factor in who wins. Meaning any of the top 4 could win this tournament as any of those goalies have the ability to play lights out.

I completely agree with you. Canada, then Sweden are by far the best defenses in this tourney. With Canada being the clear favorite.
