USUAL SUSPECTS: Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Rob Blake, Adam Foote, Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger, Wade Redden, Ed Jovanovski, Shane Doan, Simon Gagne, Kris Draper, Dany Heatley, Jarome Iginla, Vincent Lecavalier, Brad Richards, Ryan Smyth, Martin St. Louis and Joe Thornton.

HAPPY TO BE HERE: Marty Turco, Robyn Regehr, Rick Nash and Todd Bertuzzi.

STRENGTHS: Everywhere. Brodeur returns in search of a second gold medal, as do many others. No team has as good a backup goalie as Luongo. The defense is the strongest in the Olympics. The offense is young and skilled and hungry. The coaching staff amicably blends a variety of different approaches. The team is capable of handling any opponent's strategy.

WEAKNESSES: Some of the guys pronounce some words a little differently, eh? But on the ice, the Canadians are aboot as good as it gets.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The favorite to win gold. Also expect to see hockey at its finest when Canada plays Russia, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, Czech Republic or the United States. .........................................................Ok...i know we have a good team....but COME ON....if i were any other country id wanna puke after reading this....im Canadian and im sick reading it...Weaknesses...mispronounced words???
