Canada's roster thus far (not too shabby):

2016 World Hockey Championship - Team Canada

/Could use a Brodie or Hamilton on defense, but both declined.

Dany Heatley is still available I think.

he can suit up for Germany, esls.

Johnny Gaudreau might play for Team USA, but not sure he should with his current contract situation with the Flames.

I hope Matt Duchene scores a ton of goals and celebrates each goal exuberantly just to piss off Patty Wah.

West Germany I presume?

Aren't they unified now?

/I confess, I liked it better when it was West Germany and East Germany.

I guess I haven't been paying close attention lately. When the Donald said he wanted to build a wall, I just assumed he meant splitting up Germany again.

/I'd have to get a ruling from jstew on the difference between West German tears and East German tears first

In West Germany, you win medal and find party. In East Germany, you win medal and party find you!

The 50 Worst Cars of All Time - TIME

The early-aughts BMW-7 is on that list because of fucking iDrive? Give me a break. That car was magnificent.

I'm sure we will be seeing the latest offerings from Skoda in the corners at the arenas in Russia where the games will be contested.

I think there was a lot of Chris Bangle backlash and I have to agree, I was not a fan of his design changes to BMW automobiles.

I hated his 3-series (my mom still drives an '07 and I beg her to get a new car every time I see her), but I was a fan of the rest.

Having said that, Mercedes' C and E models of the era were so much better.

I had a 2006 A4. I loved it, it was an incredible car and I miss driving it terribly.

Not my cup of tea, but not bad looking either.

I had a 2006 A4. I loved it, it was an incredible car and I miss driving it terribly.

My current is a 08 A4 S line. I love it so much. I want a new Passat or CC, but just can't fathom letting this car go.

Until, of course, this becomes available:

A8 and VW Phaeton (supposedly returning next year) are amazing. And they hide a secret. The drivetrain and chassis is the exact same as Bentley Continental.

Last generation Phaetons can be had for 15 grand nowadays.
