this will be the line up: reserves- st.louis,cambell,turco
crosby,heatley,nash
lecavalier,thorton,iginla
getzlaf,doan,e.staal long shots-carter,weber,ward
smyth,toews,spezza
nedymier,boyle
phaneuf,pronger
green,bouwmester
loungo
Brodouer
the reason i put lecavier,iginla,thorton together with pronger and phaneuf on the point is because they are all very talented but very strong,they will out muscle any other line in the tournament.
gagne gets hust to much so he wont be on it
Canada will win for sure, the only canadian that sucks is sean avery |

There are 3 line combos that make so much sense, I am guessing they are a lock.
The first and most obvious is the Getzlaf, Heatley and Nash. Big bodies fast and will hurt you in every possible way.
2nd line if you can call it that, is Cros, Iggy and Vinny. I mean how can you not like this line. Depending how Vinny is playing, you can place E. Staal in his place and not lose too much.
The 3rd line (again if you can call it that), is so under rated the it sickens me that so few have mentioned it. M. Richards, Doan and Morrow is the best possible shut down line you can gather for Canada. Go ahead try to pick a better shut down line. This is the line that, if they play well, will beat the opposition.
That leaves a whole slew of players that will make up the 4th line and the reserve squad. I will say that the above 9 players are a lock and the lines set, unless an injury takes them out or they are playing well below par. Depending on how the season goes, everyone else plays to get onto the 4th line or the taxi squad.
On defense, I love the Pronger-Nieds combo but it all depends on Nieds and his Farvrian summer. Let's assume he follows Farvre and calls it quits for good then:
Prongs - Weber (shut down 1)
Regher - Keith (really shut down 2)
Bouwmeester - Boyle (free flow, and I have no problems switching one of these guys for really shut down pair to balance it out)
With Green as the 7th mainly for powerplay purposes. |

I dont know if somebody said something about it.. but if im not mistaken, its not greztky but yzerman wich is in charge to choose the team now..
I remember it cause he said in an interview that he would put youth before experience. (gretzky chose sakic and draper but not crosby at the last olympics...) |

Guest 2265, you are either the Staal bros mother (intentionally spelling the name wrong to throw us off), or a die hard Rangers fan. Your first post had Phillips and Redden listed as two d-men. Eight mins later you no longer list the two of them and instead go with Bouwmeester and Boyle. Funny thing is, after cutting Phillips and Redden, they don't even make your "reserves" list? WTF? Regardless, there will not be a NYR d-man on the squad, sorry. Marc Staal? Are you for real? Or are you Marc Staal??? And to suggest Brodeur won't be somewhere in the mix? There's only one way that happens and unless you're some sort of fortune teller / gypsy who can read the future, you can't assume he'll be injured?

Anyone who is picking Dan Boyle, Brian Campbell or Dion Phaneuf as starters is sadly mistaking. While all three are fabulous skaters and great offensive talents, I would have to say they are somewhat lacking in a defensive aspect.(This is my concludsion based on having watched them all play many times both in person and on TV). The defensemen I have chosen are "complete" players and could play in any situation, as most of them do on the respective NHL teams. I am not saying my line combinations are the be-all end-all, but if the team was made as of right now, these are the players I could see being on it. Feel free to comment or ask as to why certain players have been excluded/included. I look forward to feedback. |

Sorry big wheel! Didn't realize you get to see these guys play in person all the time! As nice as your Defence lineup is, it is more likely that it would win the Lady Bing trophy than the olympics!!!! You need some size in those pairings. Namely Phaneuf!!!
So next time you go and watch these guys play, take off the blindfold!!! |

Seen worse, but to not have Brodeur in the mix is insane! As for the d, there's better ones out there than some of the one's you've picked. I've said all along, Campbell won't be in the mix, he's way overrated. He hasn't even been selected to the summer camp so he's gonna have to have a heckuva first half next season to have a hope. Same goes for Souray i believe? Could be wrong there, but don't think he got an invite either? Up front, not bad picks but a couple are in tough. Definitely don't see Cammalleri having much hope of being on the team. |

Feel free to comment or ask as to why certain players have been excluded/included. I look forward to feedback.
So you put Green instead of Boyle, Campbell or Phaneuf and make a comment about lacking in defensive aspect?
Thornton will not play with Getzlaf. If Jumbo Joe makes the team it is as a centre. Getzlaf will centre Nash and Heatley. I will say this, Toews will not make it over Morrow on the M. Richards, Doan line, unless Morrow has not recovered from his injury.
Savard, I like him lots, will not make it on the team. Not because he is not good enough, but because Canada has too many high quality centres. He would be something like 10th or 11th on the canadian centres list and he his style does not suit hime to play wing like E. Staal or M. Richards.
To 6133, if both J. Staal and Spezza make the team, hell freezes over. One or the other (long shot), but both is a long shot (about the same probability as the Leafs winning the Stanley cup in 2010). |

Nash-Crosby-Iginla
Carter-Lecavalier- Heatley
Gagne-Getzlaf -Stall
Lucic- Richards- Morrow
these are not the 12 most skilled forwards but they have the best combination of skill size and heart which is what we should be building our team around. Depending on how morrow and gagne play for the first half of the season i can see jordan stall and martin st. louis taking there places. ( I realize joe thorton is not on the liat but he's not exactly clutch).
Green - Weber
Boyle - Pronger
Keith - seabrook
Burns
Powerplay with Green and Weber would be dynamite and keith and seabrook are a great shut down pair in chicago who already have great chemistry and boyle and Pronger are the experience on the back end.
1- luongo
2- Brodeur
3- Fleury |

To Guest 6133 - It does not take a blind fold to realize that Phaneuf had a VERY sub-par year. He is going to have to pick up his play big time to make this team. Having said that, it is entirely possible he could play great at the start of the season under Brent and become a shoe-in come Olympics. Lady Byng defense with Pronger on my roster? LOL.
To Guest 9676 - Good criticisms, I would agree with switching Joe off that second line, bumping up Staal and putting Richards as a winger. While I would like to see Savard make the team, it won't happen because he has not answered Hockey Canada's call for the world championships while playing for non-playoff teams. I should have done my homework with that. Based on last season Green is less of a liability on defense than the other 3, as far as defense goes, the last couple spots will be decided by how they play during the first half of the season. There are quite a few on the bubble who could make it, but I wil eat my hat if Campbell is on this team, it won't happen.
For a long shot, can anyone see Andy McDonald making it? Amazing skater, great shot, a point per game guy when not injured. |

Does anyone know what the status of Getzlaf is? I beleive he had surgery and is missing the orientation camp. I can't see him being left of the team after the season he had last year, unless his injury keeps him out of too many games to start the season offf...
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E". |

Matt, he's recovering from sports hernia surgery and is expected to be healthy for the start of the season i believe? Unless he's injured in Feb, he's pretty much a lock on the team i'd say. |

I'd have to agree on that. Getzlaf is amazing. Crosby and Getzlaf should be 1 and 2 down the middle if you ask me

Pretty sure they will be. Although i haven't done a roster yet, i'd say locks are these:
Goal: Luongo/Brodeur (one will start, though it is possible that Ward could be the #2 but i feel it'd have to take an injury or an absolutely horrendous first half for one of the other two to find themselves not on the ice or bench.
Defense: Pronger, Neidermayer (and prob even Weber)
Forwards: Crosby, Getzlaf, Iginla and Nash, oh, and Heatley. I'd say Richards and Carter are pretty close as well. With Canada so deep at Center, i think the high scoring natural wingers (Carter, Nash, Iginla and Heatley) will be extremely valuable. Really depends how many centers they decide to move to the wing but a guy like Doan is another natural winger who's answered the bell for Canada and had success when asked. He could find himself in tough though against E. Staal, Lecavalier, etc for a wing spot??? |

At goal, I like: Brodeur, Luongo with Ward or Fleury
Brodeur or Luongo will get the first start, depending who has played better coming in.
On D (not necessarily paired together)
Pronger Niedermayer
Green Weber
Bouwmeester Keith
I see one of Phaneuf, Burns, or Boyle being the seventh dman. Phaneuf if he has a good start to season should be the man I think.
Forward is tough:
Heatley Getzlaf Nash<---this line was killer in World Championships
Iginla Crosby Lecavalier
Morrow M. Richards Carter<-- can you imagine this checking line?
E. Staal Thornton St. Louis
Sharp or Doan

Canada so deep at Center, i think the high scoring natural wingers (Carter, Nash, Iginla and Heatley) will be extremely valuable.
I could have sworn Carter was a natural centre.
Canadian centres who often play wing includes Marleau, J. Staal, Carter, Lecavalier, McDonald. (that's all I can think of at the top of my head).
Natural wingers (that I can think of): Doan, Heater, Morrow, Nash, Iggy, Smyth, Gagne. |
