mrsasaki Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If you chose the starting lineup at the Olympics for each country (or whichever you choose to do), what would they look like? And when I say Olympics I mean now, just the best possible roster. Canada: Stamkos - Crosby - Giroux Weber - Keith Fleury USA: Kane - Kesler - Parise Suter - McDonagh Quick Russia: Ovechkin - Malkin - Kovalchuk Markov - Tyutin/Kulikov Bryzgalov now that's assuming Markov's healthy. And Kovalchuk can play his off side. And man their defense is weak. Sweden: Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson Karlsson - Kronwall Lundqvist I was thinking about landeskog on the top line instead of Eriksson but its his off side so I left eriksson Finland: Selanne - O. Jokinen - Filppula Timonen - Pitkanen Kiprusoff maybe Granlund could even beat out Jokinen Slovakia: Hossa - Handzus - Gaborik Chara - Meszaros Halak man talk about no center depth Czech Republic: Erat - Elias - Jagr Michalek - Kuba Pavelec now here's a team with lots of good centers. tough to choose from Elias, Krejci, and Plekanec EDIT-- ya I forgot Karlsson, knew I forgot someone important. Also forgot McDonagh was american Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Gonchar? Erik Karlsson? Russia and Sweden actually have pretty good defences now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Waffles for Finland's top center? I think the better choice would be Miikko Koivu. Was looking through the Danish and Swiss rosters, and boy if they were one country they could probably beat weaker teams like Germany pretty handily Baertschi - Nielsen - Jensen Boedker - Eller - Niederreiter Hansen - Regin - Brunner Streit - Larsen Josi - Diaz Sbisa - Yannick Weber Hiller Meanwhile, in Slovenia Doubt poor Anze would ever come near playing for anything significant for his country in international play.

Pears Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Canada: Stamkos - Crosby - Toews Weber - Pietrangelo Luongo USA: Parise - Kesler - Kane Suter - McDonagh Quick Sweden: Sedin - Sedin - Landeskog Edler - Karlsson Lundqvist Russia: Ovechkin - Malkin - Kovalchuk Markov - Tyutin Mr. Universe Slovakia: Marian Hossa - Marcel Hossa - Gaborik Chara - Sekera Halak Czech Republic: M. Michalek - Krejci - Erat Z. Michalek - Kuba Pavelec Some countries could challenge the powerhouses with their depth by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoolander Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'll just say what I think Canada's should be, then list countries that could be a wildcard. Stamkos-Crosby-Perry :Perry is a natural RW, and gives the other two guys, a body guard Weber-Gudbranson Price The Slovak's have a lot of fire power, and a solid defence. The Czech's also look pretty strong, but lack any perrenial star power. Both could challenge the contenders in the later rounds. Russia doesn't really concern me, and I think Sweden has a lot more skill, as well as grit with Landeskog, and Edler on the team. More so, than the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLahey Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 For Canada, based on last season my tandem would be Smith & Price, with Luongo, Ward & Fleury competing for third string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Love the homer picks Edler over Karlsson? lol. I'd personally have Rinne over Kipper but I see where you're coming from. I hate Luongo as much as the next guy but anyone else as the starter would be insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Sweden is actually gonna have a crazy team Sedin - Sedin - Backstrom Landeskog - Zetterberg - Eriksson Franzen - Pahlsson - Samuelsson Steen - Berglund - Hornqvist Edler - Karlsson Kronwall - Hedman Hjalmarsson - OEL Lundqvist Enroth .___.
