Summer - time to speculate

Three hundred and sixty four days.

Thats a long time.

Long enough to grow a beard to your waist.

Long enough to have a child.

Long enough to travel the world.

Long enough to fall in love. Break up. Get back to together. Break up again, then get back.... you get the picture.

Exactly 364 days from now Vancouver will welcome the world and play host to the winter Olympic games.

Seeing as its so close to the date, no better time to start speculating about Canada`s mens hockey team. Right?

With a year to go before the games even begin, the burning question on TSN, Sportsnet, The Score and many sports radio shows.
Who should be in goal for Canada three hundred and sixty four days from now!

Thats the headline sports story across Canada!

Talk about a slow day at the office.

Since its such a hot topic and time is running out, lets review.

Martin Brodeur. Injured all season. He`s out.

Carey Price, Roberto Luongo or Marty Turco. Nope too inconsistent all season. To Risky.

Mike Smith in Tampa Bay. Who?

Steve Mason.
Huh? That rookie in Columbus?
Ya the rookie. He`s having a better 2009 then anyone else.
Yep he`s the number one guy. Go with the rookie with half a season of NHL experience.

Seriously people. Canada`s obsession with hockey is sickening. The bloody games are three hundred and sixty four days away and this is the main subject of discussion across Canada!

The NHL season is still underway in case people hadn`t noticed.
Come on. You got to spread it out Canada. Don`t use up all the good fodder mid season. What else will Canadian`s have to talk about all summer.
