HuisHamIsThis? Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 What would your 23 man roster be? Just some thoughts since Canada released their team. Wouldn’t it be a treat to see both Mcdavid & Crosby take action? Also, what would your roster for other countries look like? Ie. Usa, Fin, Swe, russ? looking forward to seeing your lineups!

goalie13 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 They will be back in four years, but then Canada will have to play against Boeser and Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm personally happy the NHL isn't going into the Olympics this year. I'm a firm believer of the Olympics being a stage for amateur, or semi-pro to lower tier pro athletes to represent their countries. Not only does it give some players a truly once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country at this level, I think there's a far greater level of appreciation by the athletes to give it their all in order to win Gold for their country. When you have the NHL players participating, you get the elites of the league and few if any go all out in order to try and win for fear of injury resulting in lost performance for their professional teams in the NHL and potentially the playoffs. That same fear of injury is present for these players as well, but I feel it's overshadowed by the once in a lifetime opportunity that these games represent. Also, the lack of super house teams like Canada, USA, Sweden, Russia and to a lesser extent Finland and the Czech Republic, it opens up the stage for more obscure countries a chance at winning medals they ordinarily might not have a dream of even reaching. I think that this will be quite frankly one of the few Winter Olympics I've been legitimately psyched for outside of 2010, and that was only because it was here in Vancouver.

milk and honey Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I am super excited to see brule play again and no nhlers actually make it different. Don't get me wrong I love these super teams we get to watch but its pretty predictable until the semis where the big boys Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden will face other. It will be good to see some odd and old faces lol. shock no hodgson or kassian but hey marc andre gagnani made the team from that awful trade.

Haha 5 but your point still stands I dunno it's pretty hard to sit any of those guys in favor of the lefties I'd bring Gio along for some milk and a hotdog.

Did you see Team Canada? It's a bunch of guys who are completely 100% pro-athletes, but just NHL castoffs. The majority of Team Canada is from the KHL. The second best league in the world. None of these guys are lower-tier or semi-pro athletes. They are still very much pro athletes, just not the best. Which means the Olympics this year will just be a lower quality of hockey, because the pro players are all the guys who couldn't crack the NHL. Olympics is supposed to showcase the best of the best. This year, it's basically a bunch of guys who aren't that good at hockey compared to the best of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
