imho as long as the current head of Hockey Canada stay out of picking players, coaches and/or anyone else on Team Canada, it should work out okay.

Those thinking it, you are correct I'm not a fan of Tom Renney, imo worst choice possible.

Could be worse, we could have the Canucks management doing it. They will be available soon.

[GordonH]

^^^ funny since he was part of one of those many failed Vancouver Canucks coaching attempts.

I'm sure there are those out there who will be wondering why _____________ is not in the line up, well since Canada has huge depth of players not all of them can be on the team only 23 Players can be.
Hey Mike Babcock & His team has picked the right ones for 2010 & 2014 Olympics so he has earned my trust.

Until Russians actually play as a team and not bunch of individuals, they are not going anywhere.
Seen this at 2010 & 2014 Olympics, there juniors play as a team way better these guys today.

[Poindexter]

Markstrom 1st star in Sweden's win over Russia, didn't see the game but as a Canuck fan I like the sound of that.
