US peaking? I'd say its just addition by subtraction via that bennedict arnold brett hull (I like the States [not in hockey but generally] but Hull is an a-hole)..
I agree Canada will be 6-0.. too much too handle and with Gretz upstairs our dream team aint gonna choke..
Kipper overrated? A little early to tell, he's had one great year but man, what a great year..
Official predictions..
Russia (Ovechkin looked wicked) will beat the US
Canada will cruise over the Slovaks..
Canada will edge the Russians...
I dont remember the seedings but salo is gonna be on the twine and telliqvist will be enough for Sweden to win their pool..
Canada gettin revenge for their olympic loss to Sweden and winning the ugliest trophy known to mankind (
