Canada's Oly_picGold Medal Tally

[Yoda]

It's only days away and i've been wondering, how many gold medals will Canada take home after this Olympics?

The Associated Press predicts 30 total medals for Canada and 27 each for the United States and Germany. 15 of Canada's medals are expected to be gold, with nine going to the U.S. and eight going to Germany.

High hopes this year for Canada.

In the past 10 years, Canada has won the following gold medals in each Olympics:
2006 Torino - 7
2002 Salt Lake - 7
1998 Nagano - 6
1994 Lillehammer - 3
1992 Albertville - 2
1988 Calgary - 0
1984 Sarajevo - 2
1980 Lake Placid - 0
1976 Innsbruck - 1
1972 Sapporo - 0

They are a definate lock for the Hockey Gold but how many others can they bring in?

I would not say they are a lock...favorites yes but not a lock.

C'mon Berg! Where's the optimism?

Yoda...I'm an acerbic Canucks fan and I always hope for the best but expect the worst. I'm sorry...it's just a by product of 20+ years of disappointment. That being said...WHEN (not if ) Canada wins the Gold I will be going ape...
