    Haha thanks man. Yours isn't too bad either [​IMG]

    Yeah this could be the Olympic roster already. Steve Yzerman did a great job and it also helps that the event is in Canada so not many have to travel far. Too bad we couldn't have gotten Broduer to come out.

    I dont want to sound like a dumbass, but the only 3 goalies I know are Ozie, Hasick and Jimmy Howard. I know Dom and Howard aint canadian and I dont see Osgood listed. Who is in net for Team Canada?

    Mathieu Garon and Cam Ward are the goalies. Not the best choices but all the good Canadian goalies are really old.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>HALIFAX - It's only one game into the IIHF World Hockey Championship and Dany Heatley has already found a pretty cool souvenir.

    He'll be taking a puck back to his home in Ottawa after passing Marcel Dionne to become Canada's all-time leading scorer at this event. The second of three goals he scored during a 5-1 win over Slovenia put him in the record books on Friday.

    "I'll put that one on my mantel," he said.

    Heatley also added an assist during a dominant performance by Team Canada in its first ever world championship game on home soil. Canada outshot Slovenia 65-22 and would have had a much more lopsided win if not for the solid play of unheralded goaltender Robert Kristan.</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>HALIFAX - Everything is falling into place for Team Canada at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.

    A 7-0 win over Latvia on Sunday represents the start of bigger things for the squad, which now finds itself as the last Canadian outfit playing hockey with professionals after the Montreal Canadiens were eliminated from the NHL playoffs.

    "The lights just got a little bit brighter," said coach Ken Hitchcock. "We'll deal with it the best way we can.

    "The players show up at this thing and they're grateful for the chance but they're a little down, especially the guys that got knocked out in the first round (of the NHL playoffs). Now everybody's pretty jacked up."</div>

    Beat the USA in a close one. Cam Ward is played pretty bad IMO.
