      The USA will takes its normal 3rd/4th place unless they can pull some upset. Basically this year I think it comes down to Canada/Russia and maybe a little Sweden, but not so much.
      All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

      "rammer" and "cummings"

      The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.

        I love the look of the US team but I don't think they have enough speed or talent to score with the likes of Canada and Russia. Lot of tough, hard-nosed players with great character but the ice favors team speed over everything else so my expectations are not that high.

        Few buddies and I are thinking of making it to Vancouver for the US games on Feb. 14-16 or Feb. 21 just to watch the games at a bar or pub.

          Well two things.

          A: get your passport ready.
          B: Book your hotel room about a year ago.

          If you want an expierence though going to basically any of the canadian cities if they make it to the gold medal final and finding a bar will pretty much be the best time of your life. Really the only thing that rivals it is the world cup.

          I'm pretty sure I'm going to try and get a bunch of people at my place or going somewhere with a bunch of people.

            We'd probably stay in Washington, rent a car, and drive over to Vancouver - depending on the traffic.

            But yeah, finding a hotel is probably going to be impossible.

            And I couldn't care less about watching Canada play.

              You should, not like the American team is going to be making any runs for gold. ;)

                I actually take that back, considering Canada has a bunch of Sharks on it that I would like to watch.
