World Cup of Hockey Prodictions

[Undecided]

Who do you think is gonna win personally I got to take Canada all the other teams look to weak

[KenJi]

I'll take Canada, but I wouldn't could out Slovakia or especially Sweden.

Depending on how good the goaltending is for sweden.

They have a very steller team with like 4 GOOD CAPTAINS!! Good offense, steller defense, and canada has a weaker defense this time, especially without rob blake

[KenJi]

Either way I've been waiting since the Stanley Cup Finals for some damn hockey l ol

[Undecided]

and while were on the topic of the world cup who do u think will win the tourny scoring title

[Undecided]

i think canada's defence is still very solid lots of young guys with lots of international experance i think there's too much question about sweden's goaltending

[KenJi]

oh shit now thats a toughy. so many players to chose from.

just one common how about the top 5 ll

its not that much, i t just depends on if Salo can ever get over the loss to belarus.

thats all it comes down to. sweden has an all star top 6 forwards core, along with 3 solid lines of d including mattias ohlund and niklus lidstrom

if they get the goaltending than their good, but canada has always h as the best 3 for goalies.

[Undecided]

i think the gold is gonna come down to sweden and canada but i like canada's chances in a head to head

[KenJi]

Yea so do I.

i think more so than goaltending i think its gonna come down to the defense this time.

In the olympics the play is more wide open thanx to the no red line rule, but for the world cup. its nhl rules, meaning tighters checking, so bad defense will lead to more scoring than bad goaltending.

I think the goalies are all insane so yea i think its gonna be up to the D.

Go canada but i think sweden has a very good chance too

[Undecided]

well canada's team has been selected for the smaller rink where as with sweden it's the same team that they send to every international event i don't think that the swedish team has been tailored to this kinda game

[KenJi]

dude all the players minus one play in the nhl lol

[neoh]

what the fuck is a Prodiction?

[KenJi]

also don't forget sweden had beaten canada in the round robin for the olympics and if they hadn't lost to belarus which they shouldn't have they would been in the semi finals.

Oh yea almost all their pl ayers are NHL ALL STARS!! A few notables fosberg, naslund, lidstrom, alfredson, sundin, ohlund etc...

they all know how to play on the small rinks

perhaps but they've had way better teams, and sweden without forsberg still has a killer team, minus one superstar they still have 17 NHL superstars.

i dunno about the goalie situation though lol

losing Forsberg isn't just a loss of a great player but a leader too I think that losing him is gonna hurt them big time

[jaydream]

canada will definitly win

imagine richards and sakic holding the blue line on powerplays

*drools*

Perhaps but i think with Sundin, Naslund, Alfredsson, and lidstrom and ohlund leading the backside.

I think they have alot of leadership on their team, but with the loss of forsberg they will have less leadership than team canada.

i still think they are fairly matched.

Canada has the extra edge to them, and are the favorites but i dunno i believe the team are pretty close in comparison.

Parity has gotten bigger and bigger since the early 90's, and teams like the fins, czech, and sweden have gotten only better with time.
