[Olympics] OFFICIAL TEAM CANADA 2014 (everything related here please)


Recommended Posts

I think one of Eberle/Hall should make the team also. Hall is one of the best wingers in the game and Eberle is clutch.

St Louis - Crosby - Stamkos

Nash - Getzlaf - Perry

Tavares-Toews-Eberle/Hall

Couture - Bergeron - Giroux

I said in an earlier post that I'd like to see Eberle there, but lately I find myself thinking that Matt Duchene has played his way onto the team...

Sucks for Jarome, but he doesn't really deserve it.

Nice to see that Marchand was invited :sick:

Defense looks pretty stacked.... on the right side

Iggy made his choice last year, Pens over boooooooins. Now hes in Boston. Whaaaat?

What does that say about the "leadership" in the Pens dressing room?

Better yet, what does that say about the Bruins leadership, and why one of the best Canadian team leaders ever, is there?

Kunitz - Crosby - Stamkos

Tavares - Getzlaf - Perry

Sharp - Toews - Giroux

Benn - E.Staal - Sequin

Lucic - Hall

I think the forward lines will all have good chemistry/skill. The 1-2 lines are superb scoring threats with . 3rd line is full of smarts (200ft players) & still a big threat to score. And the 4th line is BIG & has 2 solid Captains on it & 2 stanley cup rings. All 4 of our centres have RINGS. Actually all 4 lines have at least 2 rings per line. ::D

With a one of a kind machine like Lucic there to be used & a speed ball sniper in Hall we are STACKED.

Keith - Seabrook

Weber - Doughty

Subban - Pietrangelo

Boumeester

This D line-up is so evenly balanced.

Crawford is still injured, not sure he will be ready in time.

Tough job picking the team, the talent is so deep. Stamkos will be the one to watch, a real gm breaker player. Similar to how Getzlaf was injured just prior to 2010 Olympics, but made it on last NHL gm prior to Olympics.

I was watching the Canada/Czech Republic WJHC game the yesterday and Dreger had a segment where he presented his projected team Canada roster for the Sochi Olympics. Included on his team were Patrick Marleau (no Joe Thornton) and Marc Edward Vlasic (no Brent Seabrook or Dan Boyle).

Here's my team

Forwards

Kunitz – Crosby – Stamkos

Hall – Getzlaf – Perry

Nash – Tavares – Giroux

Duchene – Toews – Sharp

Extra Forwards: Couture, St. Louis

Defence

Weber – Doughty

Keith – Seabrook

Pietrangelo – Bouwmeester

Extra Defenceman: Subban

Goaltenders

Luongo

Price

Smith

As you can probably guess I’m a big believer in chemistry between linemates otherwise Kunitz, Seabrook, Bouwmeester and perhaps even Sharp wouldn’t make the team.

This tournament will be on the bigger ice surface, where Canada hasn’t fared well in at past Olympics, therefore I’ve opted to have players with more speed and creativity such as Hall and Duchene instead of the likes of Thornton, Staal or Lucic.

Subban might be the best offensive defenceman Canada could put on the team but he still isn’t doing things the right way. He frequently takes stupid penalties or goes out of position to make a hit and given the other options Canada has available I don’t believe the reward is worth the risk.

I think Luongo and Price are Canada’s two top options in goal but neither is head and shoulders above the other right now.
