usa canada hockey teams olympicsIt's no secret hockey is Canada's NFL, so when the US hockey team roster was announced it seems anticipation is building for the US team to take down Canada.

The 2010 Olympics will drop the puck on its men's ice hockey competition on Feb. 16 and award medals on Feb. 28

Canada, as usual, will have a STACKED team while the US is the youngest men's hockey team since the NHL started sending its players to the Olympics in 1998. .

Having been around Canadian hockey players, I know first hand how much our neighbors to the north HATE losing to the US. What is more serious to think about is how many Canadians will be hanging themselves in a bathroom when and if the US team creams Canada in the Olympics.

Hit the jump to see video analysis of each country's roster and let us know in the comments if you think the US has a realistic chance to win gold.
