Just a few thoughts not focusing on hockey:
One athlete who has quietly had a fantastic last month or so is Alex Harvey. Four World Cup podium finishes in the last 30 days. It's perfect momentum and I think he'll surprise a lot of people.
I can't wait to see Kaillie Humphries. What a gem. She's one of Canada's best athletes, period.
Although I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer Jones, it would take some sort of a miracle for another country to take the gold away from her team. On the men's side of curling, Brad Jacobs and his boys are young, but they are coming off a massive 2013 season. They got a little flustered at the final of the Worlds and ended up getting silver, but the way they played at the Road to the Roar and Roar of the Rings was something for the ages.
