OH CANADA!



They don't hand out gold medals before the Olympic games are actually played, but a case can be made to just hand Canada the gold medal in hockey right now.

That's because team Canada announced their team today.

Take a look at this roster:

Forwards:
Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins)
Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins)
Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim Ducks)
Dany Heatley (San Jose Sharks)
Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames)
Patrick Marleau (San Jose Sharks)
Brenden Morrow (Dallas Stars)
Rick Nash (Columbus Blue Jackets)
Mike Richards (Philadelphia Flyers)
Corey Perry (Anaheim Ducks)
Eric Staal (Carolina Hurricanes)
Joe Thornton (San Jose Sharks)
Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)

Defense:

Dan Boyle (San Jose Sharks)
Drew Doughty (L.A. Kings)
Duncan Keith (Chicago Blackhawks)
Scott Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks)
Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers)
Brent Seabrook (Chicago Blackhawks)
Shea Weber (Nashville Predators)

Goalies:

Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils)
Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks)
Marc-Andre Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins)

Yikes...

This team is the deepest, most talented collection of players I have seen in Olympic competition.
