Marleau Thorton and Heatley have a history of choking, as does Luongo and even my guy Brodeur in the past 3 years.
Don't let Nabokov thing get to you....they still have Bryzgalov as a nice backup.
They won in 2002, just two winter olympics ago.
Tell me when the last time Russia won a gold was?
Canada chokes at the world championships? Canada has won like 3 of the last 6 or something.
Since late 80's I believe.
Never said Russia was my favourite, and besides I'm not laying 1:1 on a team that hasn't even made it to the gold medal round more than 50% of the time.
Thats great. I couldnt give two shits if you like the current odds or not. Canada from top to bottom is the most balanced team. They dont have a galring weakness. They have home ice and arent playing on the large ice like in olympic years past which greatly favour the european countries. Canada may lose, its certainly a possiblity but it seems to me your just a Canada detractor more then anything.
There is no way Russia has a better chance at the gold then Canada. What in the world would make you rank them ahead of Canada?
Best line in the bizz. They will play together.Guess you havent seen Nabakov ever play in the playoffs for the Sharks? For all the hate Thornton/Marleau get Nabakov has been ever bit as underwhelming once the playoffs have come around. He chokes way more often then he steps up.
