Here's how it works. You submit a question and Guy will provide the answer to five of them every week. It's that simple. That means your question may not make the final list, but there is nothing stopping you from submitting more than one! You can send your questions to CBCHockeyOnline@cbc.ca or post a comment in the field below.

Here are today's questions:

1. I have to ask a question about the Olympic tournament. What will it take to beat Russia? - Carolyn

I think goaltending and defence will be the key to win this tournament. And if you look at all the teams that have a legitimate chance of winning an Olympic gold, they all have great goaltenders. But I think that Canada has more depth on defence than any other team in this tournament. I know that the Russians have lots of firepower up front with Ovechkin, Semin, Malkin, etc., and they will be tough to play against, but Canada's team was built with depth at every position and it will make the difference at the end.

2. I'm really worried about our goaltending for the Olympic tournament. I love Brodeur, but he just doesn't seem to be quite there this year. And Luongo has never delivered under pressure. What way would you go? - Brian W.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three goaltenders that we have. I know that Brodeur and Luongo haven't been too hot in the last two to three weeks but they are considered to be two of the best in the NHL. Brodeur has been known to always perform well under pressure, Luongo looked strong in the first game. And if that doesn't work, you have Fleury waiting and he's not too shabby either. Personally I would go with Brodeur, he has proved in the past to be a premier performer in those competitions and he has the experience of the Olympics.

3. When you played it was your assignment to cover the best players on the opposing team. I would like to know who you considered the most difficult player in the league to cover and who did you find was the most difficult goalie to score on? - Pierre Lamoureux

Two types of players come to my mind when you talk about players who are tough to cover. The first ones were the Gretzkys and the Lemieuxs, players who were so dominant with their vision and anticipation that you couldn't just concentrate on them. They were so good at finding their teammates so you had to stay focused at all times on the ice. The other ones were the Messiers and the Stastnys, who not only had great vision but could dominate you physically. With those guys, you would have a couple more bruises at the end of the game.

As for which goalie was the most difficult to score against, I would have to say Martin Brodeur, followed closely by Patrick Roy.

4. Since the elimination of the two-line pass, acceleration of the play through the neutral zone has been exciting. How do you coach defencemen and backchecking in this new era? No more left-wing lock? - Carl Potter

If you look at the making of an NHL club these days, you realize that most of the defencemen on the club can skate. In today's hockey you have to be mobile and really smart with and without the puck. There's a lot of exercises that we do in practice to improve foot speed and lateral movements, we work on gap control and learn to trust your teammates. If you look at the game today compared to 10-15 years ago, there is more back pressure from the forwards which helps the defenceman in neutral zone. Not having the red line has really sped up the game and made it a lot more entertaining for the fans.

5. Were you surprised when Bob Gainey decided to call it quits? - Victor

I think it took a lot of people by surprise. I've known Bob Gainey for a long time and we had some great times together, but you could see in the last couple of years that some of the passion needed in his position was starting to fade. Bob has had a tough two to three years with everything that happened in his family life and I think he should enjoy his free time.
