I'm going with Italy. Little is known about this team and their goalie is unscouted. We know next to nothing about his strengths and weaknesses. And the home crowd advantage will be HUGE.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what the score is for the Canada-Italy opener 
Wonder if Luongo plays that game cause of his quasi-Italian connection though Marty will want to play the opener too lol.
It's probably gonna be Canada again
Even if they have nine billion defensemen out, they still have talent to burn and half the top teams really don't have the goaltending to win a short tournament. Only the Czechs and potentially Sweden can hold their own in that area, and Sweden's generally never been a clutch team.
If Laviolette did the smart thing and found a way to give one of his goalies the flu so he could drop him and bring on Miller I MIGHT go with the US, but man that goaltending is scary. Even Grahame who was hot a week ago has now gone cold again as Tortorella's game of musical goalies continues.

Canada. Even with the injuries on defense, no one really comes close to their depth.

I am going with Sweden. Great balance up front and on the blueline. And I think Henke can take them to the gold.

I'm going with silver for the Czechs as well and bronze for Sweden. We finish 6th behind Finland and Russia.

Man, Team USA sure is being given a chance.
Oh well. Them and the Russians are definitely under the radar.

The Czech or Slovak team will pull through...although the Slovak goaltending is questionable...

Kind of hard to disagree. I'd say Esche is the favorite.
