Canada assembles dream team
-
The only player I know that defected is Brett Hull, son of Bobby(the golden jet) Hull. Who ironically once played for the Winnipeg jets before they joined the NHL. ;) During the olympics I don't think yer allowed to play for other teams unless your a native of that soil. Brett Hull plays for the Americans cuz he's the best they got so strings are probably pulled. I've spent alot of money on McDonalds pucks, jersey, hockey sticks, shirts even a tattoo for the sake of Team Canada, so they better win.

I love hockey as much as the next Canadian, but what do the national teams really mean? I mean there are people playing on a certain nation’s team that isn't even from that country. What's that about? I know Canada makes great hockey players, but why not leave them to play on the Canadian hockey team? I guess I missed something. qomi "Don't compromise yourself.

Canada for most of the year is mostly under ice and snow. So it's only natural we play hockey. You know when Brazil won the fifa cup thing against Italy...? and TV showed all these Brazilian kids playing soccer in the streets. Canadian kids are the same, but with hockey sticks instead. :) "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

I know Summer and Winter...Although, cuz it's winter here i suppose when i hear olympics i think Winter... Winter olympics is probably less popular world wide, but in Canada I would think it's probably bigger, cuz the whole Hockey thing. Although Summer was pretty popular when Donovon Bailey broke the world record at 9.84 something in 1996. "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

I personally can't remember the last time Canada won gold in the olympics, probably cuz i wasn't even alive. This year Gretzky is promising a dream team. Despite most you living somewhere other than north of the 49th i'm still going to preech and still going to :laugh: :laugh: when win ;P This year (Gretzky says so) Canada is gonna win the gold!!! It's seems ironic we haven't for so long, seeing how most of the players in the NHL are Canadian. Our winning the gold is long over due. This time WILL be different!!! GO CANADA GO GO CANADA GO GO CANADA GO "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr
http://www.hockeynut.com/history.html Canada last won gold in 1952. The reason it has been so long is that previous to 1998 (Nagano, Japan) professional players were prohibited from competing in the olympics. As the only league that was considered professional was the NHL, and the NHL consisted of canadian and some american players, Canada and the US were unable to put toether the best possible teams, while this was not a restriction on the soviet (who won most of the golds) and other europian teams. But now that Canada can put together the best team in the world, we will win :-D :-D :-D --- Sonork 100.11743 Chicken Little It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I remember last time (in Nagano) everybody was also talking about a dream team. In the end it was Russia and Czech Republic who played in final. While Canada has probably the biggest number of super players (I'm trying to be fair :-)), I believe in Yashin & Co. We'll see ;P Vagif Abilov COM+/ATL/MFC Developer Oslo, Norway
