I thought it'd be fun to see what some of you folks thought about the upcoming olympic tournament. I know we already have a thread about the olympic hockey, but it seemed to be more about womens hockey than the stuff that actually matters. No offense.
I have been able to see some projected line-ups, taken from the first day of training for some of the competing teams.
They'd be as follows:
Canada:
Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – Jeff Carter
Patrick Sharp – Jonathan Toews – Rick Nash
Patrick Marleau – Ryan Getzlaf – Corey Perry
Jamie Benn – John Tavares – Patrice Bergeron
(Martin St. Louis, Matt Duchene)
Duncan Keith – Shea Weber
Jay Bouwmeester – Alex Pietrangelo
Marc-Edouard Vlasic – Drew Doughty
(P.K. Subban, Dan Hamhuis)
Russia:
Just got the forward line-up here, given that Datsyuk sits out the first game.
Ovechkin - Malkin - Semin.
Radulov - Svitov - Kovalchuk.
Kulemin - Anisimov - Tarasenko.
Popov - Tereschenko - Tikhonov.
Sweden:
Gabriel Landeskog - Henrik Zetterberg - Alexander Steen
Daniel Sedin - Nicklas Bäckström - Loui Eriksson
Gustav Nyquist - Patrik Berglund - Daniel Alfredsson
Carl Hagelin - Marcus Krüger - Jimmie Ericsson
(Marcus Johansson, Jakob Silfverberg)
Oliver Ekman-Larsson - Erik Karlsson
Niklas Kronwall - Jonathan Ericsson
Johnny Oduya - Niklas Hjalmarsson
(Henrik Tallinder, Alexander Edler)
Finland:
Just got the forwards here as well:
Mikael Granlund - Aleksander Barkov -Teemu Selänne
Lauri Korpikoski - Olli Jokinen - Tuomo Ruutu
Jussi Jokinen - Petri Kontiola - Juhamatti Aaltonen
Leo Komarov - Jarkko Immonen - Jori Lehterä
Would be interesting to see what you americans will place on the ice. Any news there?
My prediction:
1. Russia
2. Sweden
3. USA
