Flaming the Bear

Before anyone says it, I really don't think that the Canadian olympic hockey team is going to be much of a threat this year. If I were a betting man, I wouldn't waste a dime on the Canadian team, even if they're favoured. Not because of the alleged gambling controversy that brewing over Tochett but because the team is old. It lacks the youth needed to ignite the fire. Hockey is a team sport, fill a team with talented head line players and you've got another New York Rangers scenario. This is exactly the team that was put together this year, I'll be cheering on the Czech's & Russians once Canada is kaput. Heaven forbid the U.S. wins; the gloating would be unbearable.
