SpeedFlex27 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 With Russia out of the Olympics as well as the KHL I guess we really do have a chance to win. I don't know how good of a change but does anyone care to prognosticate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'd imagine that team Canada can fill out the roster with former Jets scraps! Kyle Wellwood can run wild at the Olys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Canada's Spengler Cup team just beat Davos and won the tournament. I expect a lot of those players to make the Olympic Team. With the NHL out, I was hoping that they could get some of the CHL players. Edited January 2, 2018 by JCon SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like enforce an age limit on the tournament? Or just Canada sends the juniors while other teams are free to send pros? Because the team that Canada is sending would dominate the gold medal winning juniors. The best of the AHL/KHL/Euro leagues would stomp any junior team.

We just had the world juniors, why do we need another? This will be very disappointing. I hope Canada wins but I'm certainly not as interested in this group of players.
