junior players? you sure? Sweden usually has one or two from their league playing, but that doesn't mean the players who play for Canada are better than those playing for Sweden. Russia will no doubt have players from their own league. Plenty of players in that league are NHL calibre. Erhoff playing for Germany? and Demitra for Slovakia? They must be who you are talking about as far as "junior" goes, but I'd say it would be a fair assumption to say that nearly eery player on those teams is probably playing professional hockey somewhere.

I'm happy so many Canucks are in the Olympics. Who cares what country they are playing for.

Of course you are, it's the only chance they have of winning anything

Hat trick for Burrows last night in a victory over the Blew Jackets. I like the way the team has been playing as of late. Henrik is the top scorer in the league...for now.

Things seem to be shaping up for a battle with the Flames for the division title. Not really sure about the Avs still. Is this team for real?

Can't argue with stats, the sisters are hot and the ***** is benefitting
