With three exams in four days, what better time to post my prediction for Canada’s 2010 men’s ice hockey team that will compete in Vancouver?
I made my first roster predictions right after the 2006 winter Olympics, and I just revised it considerably. Here is what I came up with. Disagreements are welcome. I’m assuming that Scott Niedermayer will be retired (for good) by 2010, but that Joe Sakic will still be around at age 40 to captain the team.
I think that if I’m exactly right I should get something, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Voila.
