Keith, Weber and Seabrook. All very good and a few of my favorites. Like usual, this team is stacked talent-wise. Much stronger and hungrier than the 2006 team they ran out there.

Brad Richards was snubbed though.

Canada appears to be pretty loaded this year. Although, I thought that in 06 also....

I dont think the Americans can put out the horses to beat the likes of Canada, Sweden, etc this time around.

The Americans won't hold up against Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia this year. I'd be happy w/ a medal.

Yeah, Im hoping they play for a medal, even if they lose. That would be a successful campaign.

Anyone know when the other rosters will be released??

Everyone will be suprised that the US will actually do pretty good since the ice surface is played on small ice (North American) compared to international ice. The smaller ice surface will give the US a better chance considering how many grinders/power frowards will be on ths team. The top 6 will be all skill, while the bottom 6 will be big body grinders.

Team Canada some very good defensmen on the blue line to try and counter the skill teams like Sweden and Russia will bring. I hope the US follows suit because we can't match up talent wise with those teams up front but the US does have some great defenseman to slow down those other teams.

Berergon is mainly there for the 4th line with Mike Richards. I'm happy that Green didn't make the team.

Oh and Team USA blows. The only position that they match up against the Canadians are in goal.

They match up with Sweden and Finland pretty good.
