Betting on Team Canada to Secure Gold?
NHL may be taking a break but the greatest hockey tournament has begun at the Olympics and Team Canada is the favorite to win the Gold Medal in Vancouver. Canadians will be banking on their team to prove to the rest of the world that they can win gold at their national sport. Some might say they owe it to Canada after horrific performance at the Torino Games.
There’s a lot of pressure on the Canadian athletes simply because losing at home is not an option. Steve Yzerman has put together a stellar team but there are a few worrying issues dogging their performance. Ryan Getzlaf is a rock solid team member and a great scorer but is suffering from an injured ankle and if the problem continues Jeff Carter, a star in his own right but not of Getzlaf’s caliber, may replace him. Also slap shot on the shin on Sunday has left Sidney Crosby limping, although he claims to be fine.
The team is facing is a downturn in the last NHL performances of some of it’s superstar players. Goaltender’s Martin Brodeur and Robert Luongo both got pulled recently. Luongo was pulled after giving up five goals in a loss to Minnesota Wild. Jarome Iginla and Eric Staal are not having their usual success either. Let’s hope the team can regain the strength it seems to have lost over the lost two week.
