Sochi 2014

[mattola]

1 year to the opening ceremonies. wow how the last 3 have gone so fast.


hockey roster talk has begun

Ferraro's Projected 2014 Team Canada Roster

 

[4thstreet]

The forwards are pretty accurate,I could see a few changes on defence,but they have a year to work on it.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I can't wait for this tourney. Canada will be loaded of course. That top 9 is sick. Especially when we think about those who could be added.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

So the NHL players will take part eh?

nhl can say no no no but their eyes are yes yes yes and always will be. its too huge an event not to put that talent out.

That could make things interesting at the bobsleigh/luge track...

Gotta find a place for Patrice Bergeron on this team, great in the face-off circle, great two-way player. Has to be one of the most under-rated players in the league.

a few for consideration
St.Louis-37?-prove it
Marleau
Kane
Couture
Pominville
Clarkson...

I think Kane and Clarkson are from 'Murica, and Pominville has dual citizenship, but has decided to play for the Yanks.

Edit: Yup, Clarkson is from Toronto (thanks Nasty), and maybe 4thstreet means Evander Kane, not Patrick Kane.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Clarkson unfortunately is not an American. Kane on the other hand is.

Notable US players off the top of my head:

Parise, Suter, Kessel, Kane, Kesler, Stastny, Dustin Brown, Yandle, Quick, Miller, Callahan, Ballard, the Johnsons. I think more or less all the big guns from last time around minus Langs and Rafalski.

Gotta think Schneider will be there if we take 3 goalies.

Yeah. Nasty mentioned them.

Ah yes, long day (tired).

^^^this

and the more I see them,a lot of the young Oilers are going to be considered for spots.
