@pilldoc Looks like Group's C and A seem to be the best. Canada only has Finland to contend with. Norway is respectable but not really a threat, not overly worried about Austria either...lol.

US has to worry about Russia and an improving Slovakia team. But Group C has the Czech and Sweden in there. Lativia will be crap and the Swiss will show moderate improvement. Seems like all the divisions only go 2 team deep, then it drops off to varying levels.

Group C also has the Swiss team. A team that is well known for upsets. I would not be surprised at all if the Czech's ended up bowing out and Switzerland taking the second position in the group. I feel at this point the Swiss are more then capable of being moderate. Canada barely beat them in 2010 (took them to a shootout) and are coming off a silver medal at the last WHC. The group that played this year is a good indicator of the majority of the players we will in Sochi.

Welcome old friend :)

haha. I forgot you live in Halifax too. Nice win for the mooseheads eh? Pretty nice to watch the #1 and #3 overall picks their entire predraft season. I kinda prefer Drouin over Mackinnon(Even though Mackinnon is a beautiful Skater.) you must be beyond pleased to have grabbed Mack.
