[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 194175"] Isn't Canada like the AB's in rugby? Always at the top but falling over when it counts...especially at the Winter Olympics? [/b][/quote] Pretty much, Nagano was a huge disappointment as was Torino, but they did when in 2002 which I think was Salt Lake city. But then again, for a few decades the USSR team won gold after gold because the pro players, which was pretty much all of the canadian players weren't allowed to participate. As for talent, maybe Russia can compete offensively but they don't have a hope in hell doing it defensively or with goal tending. [u]Offence[/u] My Canada team: 1. Heatly Crosby Iginla 2. Nash Thorton Getzlaf 3. Stall Speeza Kane 4. Morrow Lecavalier St Louis Russia team: 1. Ovechkin Malkin Kovalev 2. Kovalchuck Datsyuk Afiniganov 3. Frolov Kozlov Radulov 4. Semin Federov Samsonov Sweeden: 1. Zetterburg Mats Alfredson 2. Sundin twins Huselius 3. Naslund Backstrom Samuellson 4. Holmstrom Nylander Franzen I had to leave off 10 guys who scored 70 points or more in the NHL this year, then another 9 who scored between 60-69 points. The other teams you start having to scrape for talent on the 4th line players. Neither Sweeden nor Russia can even remotely compete with the possible Canadian defensive lineups and goaltending is just off the charts for Canada. Brodeur or Luongo or Turco or Price? Who would you take as the Canadian goalie. Or would you prefer Bryzgolav(rus) or Lundquist(swe)? [/QUOTE]
