Oylmpic Rosters : Who's Gonna Start, Who's gonna sit.

Team Canada -




Canada as in every other year is looking exceptional in goal heading into the Olympics. All three goalies ( Fleury, Broduer, and Luongo) are among the top ten goalies in the world right now. Broduer, being arguably one of the best to ever play the game will start with the other two rotating in in the initial rounds. All three could start and play better then most other starters in the Olympics giving Team Canada a good problem to have.
Czechs Republic - Good ( pending no injuries from Vokoun)
























The Czech's are going to get solid goaltending from Vokoun. Vokoun can win or lose games all by himself in Florida and will get good support from back Pavalec, who's played well for Atlanta with Lehtonen being out. My guess is that Vokoun will need to play big to give the Czech's a chance to win. With two solid NHLer's Stapanek won't factor into the equation too much unless someone gets hurt.


Finland - Solid.


















Finland's alot like Canada, just all around solid goaltending. When your worse goaltender is Nittymaki, whom was the MVP of the last Olympics, you know you're in good shape. Kiprusof is one of the best in the league right now ( NHL) and will most likely start the big games. Backstrom and Nitty are more than capable to step in and play well.


























I'll preview the rest of the teams in my next blog . . . Olympics 2010 will for sure h
ave some good goalie duels.
