Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Neal - Crosby - E. Staal St.louis - Stamkos - Eberle Giroux - Tavares - Carter Hall - Bergeron - Couture Toews - getzlaf - nash Weber letang Keith petriangelo Subban doughty Hamhuis Luongo Price Crawford/anderson I realize there is 1 too many forwsrds snd giroux coykd be out simply cuz his role would be primarily scoring which others may do better Lots of centers which I think is an advantage as many can play wing too. I realize the pairings on d would be shuffled as well. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not bad. Pretty damn good actually. I'd suggest Toews over Bergeron though, what's that guy's injury recovery timeline? I assume he's facing a lot of surgery/rehabilitation, although I haven't followed all that too closely. edit to add - the biggest question mark is definitely goaltending. Every single potential goaltender (the four listed + Ward & Smith, imo) have been somewhat inconsistent in the past year, with the exception of Crawford who I think is too inexperienced despite the Cup win. The crease will be determined Oct-Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da.moose Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ooo dirty 1st line, but Sharp? Jordan Eberle? Jordan Staal? Many better options then him I disagree. The guy is a proven winner that does everything right; especially in the playoffs. Also has chemistry with Toews. Better offensively than Jordan Staal and better defensively than Jordan Eberle. Also I like the fact that he is a natural winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ....and just a reminder, NHL player participation is still not a sure thing in the 2014 Olympics. I mean, we all know it's going to happen, but this is frustrating - amongst other things, this is why we still don't have a schedule for the upcoming season. Yet another reminder of the stubborn petulance of Bettman, Daly & co. I'm sure they're bickering over one small inconsequential clause or another on this. The timing for when the National Hockey League releases the 2013-14 regular-season schedule is dependent on an agreement that is currently being worked on to send NHL players to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said Thursday that the schedule will not be released until the agreement between the NHL, National Hockey League Players' Association, International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation is completed. "There has been no final agreement on the terms of Olympic participation at this point," Daly told NHL.com. "And unless, or until, there is, the release of the 2013-14 regular-season schedule would be premature. Having said that, we hope that a final resolution on both matters can be achieved in the very near future." If the sides come together on an Olympic agreement, the NHL would have to suspend the 2013-14 schedule for at least two weeks in February for players to participate in Sochi. NHL players have participated in the past four Olympics, beginning with the Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. http://www.nhl.com/i...3&cmpid=nhl-twt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Sharp's gonna win on a stacked team with Kane, Toews, Hossa, Seabrook, Keith .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsasaki Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Stamkos - Crosby - Tavares <--- elite scoring line Toews - Bergeron - Richards <--- shutdown line, still dangerous offensively Nash - E. Staal - Perry <--- couple of big boys that can get dirty and score Benn - Seguin - Giroux <--- some secondary scoring, hopefully Benn and Seguin can develop some chemistry this season Hall/Eberle/Getzlaf I think the only way Seguin goes is if him and Benn get something really going between them Weber - Letang Keith - Seabrook Doughty - Pietrangelo Hamhuis Each of the pairings have a high-flying offensive d-man along with a more steady guy, although all 7 of these guys are at least above average offensively, and great defensively (maybe besides Letang) Hard to not put Subban up there, but Hamhuis is a LH which helps him a lot. Subban could go instea of Doughty, Pietrangelo or Seabrook though, depending on how camp goes. Luongo Price Ward Goaltending is a crapshoot, any of those three, Crawford, Smith, or maybe even MAF could go, even harder to tell who the starter will be.

I would switch your 2nd and 3rd lines and swap Keith for Subban, and I think that's pretty close to what I'd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 St.Louis-Crosby-Stamkos --> Pure skill line. St.Louis and Stamkos are the best 1-2 punch in hockey. Add Crosby... Nash-Tavares-Giroux --> Solid 2nd line with a mix of skill and size. Toews-Bergeron-M.Richards --> The greatest checking line ever Perry-Getzlaf-E.Staal --> Size and skill. The best fourth line for any team at the Olympics. Hall/Couture Weber-Doughty --> Solid top pairing. Mix of offense and grit. Pietrangelo-Keith --> Steady shutdown pair. Two of the best skaters in hockey. Subban-Hamhuis --> High-octane play of Subban mixed with steady defensive play of Hamhuis. Letang/Seabrook Luongo --> He'll be the starter. Price --> Arguably the best Canadian goalie around. Crawford --> Just won a cup with a Conn Smythe contending performance St.Louis might end up getting snubbed again but he definitely deserves to be on the team.
