My only beef is not taking Staal instead of either Draper or Bertuzzi...But, as a fan of Canadian hockey it's not a huge deal.
There's no such thing as a lock in tournaments where all you need is to catch a goalie on the wrong day and you're done (See Nagano 1998, Hasek). However, the Canucks are definitely the faves, ahead of the Czechs who I'd say are clearly second and could knock off Canada. I think there's a drop off from there.
And as far as our 'superior Canadian coverage' of this, I'm already sick of it.
Fucking talking heads.
