Team Canada

Ugh Kunitz and Nash make the team.

Bad choices.

I don't mind Kunitz (great chemistry with Crosby) and Nash is iffy, but that one that sticks in my craw is Marleau over St. Louis.

Protip: Nash and Carter do not work well together.

I'd love to see Carter centering Nash and Kunitz.

Weird. I thought for sure his response would be "You know, that's a way better idea than my plan to forfeit. Thanks for the advice."

well that is what I was fully expecting.

but it was neat that he was just walking about with his family enjoying the day before the biggest game of his career. it was a fantastic moment

I like the defense though, good mix of offense and defense, glad to see Subban and Vlasic there, Hamhuis I like.

Also, suck it Seabrook.

a thousand times this

no question the mobility of the cdn dmen is above average

I can't wait for Team Canada to falter with this shitty roster they assembled - Dan Hamhuis, Chris Kunitz, Patrick Marleau and Rick Nash shouldn't be on this team - Claude Giroux, Martin St. Louis, Joe Thornton and Brent Seabrook would blow them out of the water

"A lot of Stanley Cup winners on this team (Hawks, Pens, Ducks, Broons and Kings) and a lot of Stanley cup experience (Canucks)"


Kevin Lowe stamp of approval.

Giroux and St louis are misses ... I would have hated watching a random Latvian blow by lil Joe though and Seabrook would have been a turnstile

ready made tandems

JayBo - Pietrangelo
Weber - Hamhuis
Keith - Doughty tandem in 2010

Agreed - I would have liked to have seen Roo on the team.

/Maybe they did a Bobby Clarke and forgot his name?

I do like the inclusion of Jamie Benn (good Victoria boy).
