Three months.

Three months from now, the men's hockey preliminary round at the 2010 Winter Olympics will be over and we'll be heading into the sudden-death quarterfinals. Canada, the U.S. and the rest of the world will have at least an inkling of how they stack up in the first true best-on-best tournament since the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy.

Pretty exciting, eh?
