There they are! Vote for the team you think is the hottest. The winning team will be awarded the gold medal, second most votes silver and the fewest, bronze. Voting will go until December 31, 2009 at 11:59 pm! You can vote as many times as you like. Voting is much shorter this year than it has been in years past because it's more fun this way.

  1. Team USA, because of Rick DP, Goose, and David Backes.

    Patrik Berglund and Patrick Sharp are very tempting though too...

  4. Team USA. You can't argue with a hockey player striptease and the Goose. I'd imagine you can't really argue with Ricky D. either.

  5. It feels wrong to vote against Goose, but God bless Canada.

Glossary... Sort of

  • "Ryan Miller Shutout" - A 58 minute, multi-goal shutout lead that is blown when Miller allows one meaningless goal
  • Britney or SabreBritney - Thomas Vanek
  • Butter Snaps - Carolina Hurricanes. Because Butter Snap pretzels, like the Carolina Hurricanes, are disgusting
  • Greener - MATT Greene (LAK)
  • JBG - Jolly Blonde Giant - Tyler Myers
  • Little Foot - Drew Stafford
  • MK - Anne's sister; often leaves nonsensical comments under her Twitter name Mmmkizzle
