I had to laugh:

A Quote from Brian Burke, general manager of the U.S. Men's Olympic Team:

(I'm paraphrasing)

"We know there won't be a dime bet on us in Vegas.  If you start ranking the teams, it'll go Canada, the Soviet Union, Sweden, Finland... and I'm fine with being the underdog."

Great statement there, Burkie.  Really, I admire your spirit.  However.... Soviet Union?  Are you kidding me?  I seriously doubt anyone is going to be laying any bets on the Soviet Union's hockey team in 2010.
