THERETOOL Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 we can second guess these guys , but I think they are pretty qualified to make these decisions .. personally , I like having rick nash ,,, people will doubt him until he physically dominates his competition , and makes big plays for canada ... Im guessing they won't doubt him for long .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogolol Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Really surprised Giroux didn't make it, he has the ability to just turn it on and dominate games, also surprised St Louis didn't make it he would have been a great captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's this kind of attitude that makes me cheer against Team Canada. How are those juniors doing? Better than the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 oh I would love to see Hamhuis and Weber as a pair! Dream pair right there Specially if they were both wearing a Canucks jersey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm more surprised that Mike Richards didn't make the cut. Played great with Bergeron in a shutdown role, in 2010 and he has a ton of chemistry with Carter. I guess they didn't want those two to party it up in Sochi after games.

Captain Aerosex Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Some serious snubs there, but who cares? We're stacked! Happy to see Hamhuis get the recognition he deserve, and Luongo should get a chance now to shut up some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 What a tough and awkward phone call that would have been for Yzerman to make to St. Louis. I still think he should be on the team, along with Giroux, ahead of a few players, but we have a good team regardless. Also pleasantly surprised that Hamhuis made the team.

CrazyAL Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Kunitz - Crosby - Stamkos Getzlaf - Tavares - Perry Sharp - Toews - Nash Marleau - Bergeron - Carter Benn, Duchene Keith - Weber Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo Vlasic - Doughty Subban, Hamhuis Luongo Price Smith I don't think Subban is 7th or 8th. They picked him to play him otherwise what's the point? they take safe picks at those late spots aka Hamhuis style dmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 St Louis is fast, creative , very well liked in the dressing room and works well under pressure. Why the hell would you leave him off the team on a big ice surface where size means a lot less than speed??? Has Yzerman said why he left him off? Well he's 38, and pretty tiny. We have so many players to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I thought Neal would make the team. Second highest PPG in the NHL besides Crosby. Same as St. Louis, he has amazing chemistry with Stamkos and they would have had lots of space to work their magic on the big ice. The team looks alright though. Certainly a lot better than the American team on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchable Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Pretty hard to argue, this is a great team. I think that Taylor Hall should have made it but his bad team seems to overshadow how good he his whereas Nash often appears slow and unmotivated in his play. None the less, I'm very happy with some of the so-called bubble selections, especially Benn. He seems to be a true heart and sole player that gives all he has when it is needed. No. Hall is a 1-way player and can't backcheck at all. He'd cost us the tournament if he got anything more than 4th line minutes. There's more than a handful of guys I'd add to this team before Hall.

Rough Neck Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Shea Weber? I m sure hamhuis has chemistry with him. I also believe that in Olympic games, that aren't as physical as NHL games, IQ is way more important and making fewer mistakes as opposed to grit. Seabrook would have been a good addition, but I like Hamhuis there. That being said, I am a Canucks fan, so why would I not say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
