Sochi Games: Team Canada

[DaBoltsNIsles]

To say Team Canada will be the favorites is the understatement of the Century thus far.

in hindsight, I guess this picture should have gone here

I am concerned that Kevin Lowe and Ralph Krueger are a part of the brain trust.

Read somewhere that Reimer should have been invited to the team camp. Even though our goaltending is thin, we can do better than that... right?

In no particular order, this cat thinks Luongo, Price, and Crawford should be the three Olympic goalies for Team Canada.

Also, what does it say about this country when a orientation camp with no skating leads TSN Sportscentre on a Sunday night in August?

Pretty good lineup, but I would rather have Crawford than Smith as part of the goalie contingent. Not much else to quibble about though.

Yeah, everything about Canada is head & shoulders above everyone else except for goaltending. I would probably go with Crawford as well. People criticize him for just being on a good team, but watching him play it's quite evident that he doesn't give opposing teams much to shoot at. Does a great job of covering the net.

Ya.. Not buying kunitz at all. Do they think he's gunna make the team solely for being Crosby's line mate?

Letang > Jaybo also IMO

I think Kunitz was invited as a reward for last season. If he plays out-of-his-mind to start next season, he might get another look, but to be honest, the Crosby/Kunitz combo isn't nearly as lethal when the pressure increases. Kunitz can't create on his own and the opposition knows that.

You wonder how much the Ken Hitchcock/Doug Armstrong tandem influence how much love JayBo seems to be getting as of late. That said, he doesn't need to be the go-to-guy to control the game and he is a great skater and in my opinion, better defensively than Letang.

Edit: I think a line of St-Louis - Crosby - Stamkos would be dynamite. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Jamie Benn finds his way onto this team before it's all said and done.

International ice = more room for JayBo to be even more invisible

Tavares on the 3rd line, really? I'm surprised they think that much of him considering Hitchcock is part of the coaching staff.: In all seriousness I hope he makes the team & has a great Olympic experience.
