Olympics: Will Team Canada have regrets?

[skroonk2002*]

After this Olympic tournament is over, will Team Canada regret not selecting Claude Giroux?

This team is having trouble scoring. There is no playmaking happening. Just simply skate in and shoot, without any cohesion or gelling.

Jesus christ..the tournament is not yet over!! Lets save this threads for after the tournament is done shall we...because if Canada does end up winning gold..I think that should answer the question to your thread.

Will this ever end???

Absolute garbage.

 

[Starbuds]

No regrets, just love. Wait till things are over there, bud.

 

[CertainAffinity*]

No.

If Canada doesn't win Gold, there will be discussion among fans about whether or not Team Canada made the right selections.

Team Canada itself may take some lessons from the experience and adjust their philosophy for the next Olympics, but they will not regret their decisions.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Don't you see? Gold or not, Team Canada has already won.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Yeah, I'm sure Canada is reeling over the severe loss of offense that PPG Claude Giroux might've provided.

 

[scryan]

Don't you see? Gold or not, Team Canada has already won.

Unless they don't medal... In that case mass suicide.

 

[IceDogsandLeafs]

Giroux does belong on the team but he probably wouldn't make a massive difference. This teams needs more forwards going to the net. So far only Carter had done it with any consistency

 

[Paradoc]

So having Giroux on our team will magically fix our offensive problem?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Taking Kunitz over Neal....sure.

Not if Babcock throws MSL into the lineup.

 

[Riggins]

Only if we don't win gold. In that case we can use the excuse that it was because no Stamkos and not picking Giroux.

 

[The Note in MI]

No? Not even a letter?

 

[Crisp Breakout]

He just sounds good because he's not part of the current drought. Look at the guys struggling to make plays happen. Are you telling me none of them are the playmaker Giroux is?

think we need to know how canada finishes, champ

 

[Korpse]

FFS. They aren't struggling offensively. Teams that have gone up against Canada have played a very conservative style, it's the only chance they have. And that's not to take away from those teams because they executed a solid game plan but rarely will it be enough to overcome team Canada. They aren't simply skating in and shooting. There is cohesion. They have created plenty of chances, they have dominated the play. There's more to hockey than looking at the box score. Canada will have no problem if teams what to play some wide open hockey.

And if they were, one guy would not solve the problem.

 

[Luigi Habs]

They will regret selecting Nash and Kunitz. And it's really too bad Stamkos was still injured. Imagine Stamkos and Giroux insteaf of Nash and Kunitz.

 

[Stanley Foobrick]

I suspect, and hope, that when this tournament is done, all but one of the teams with a legitimate shot at a gold will have regrets.

 

[tony d]

Yeah probably, they should have selected him ahead of Rick Nash.

 

[SenorDingDong]

What a waste of a thread.

Team Canada has some brutal fans, ppl who are so focused on them failing just so they can state that so and so player should have been on the team.

Seriously.. Most negative fanboys out there. I wish you guys would not even cheer for canada .

How about making a positive thread for once?

 

[redgrant]

There are better players left off than Giroux. Wait 3 years....hes Philly's next compliance buyout.

It's not just Canada. Same kind of people were complaining about bobby ryan, Keith Yandle, Dustin brown and so on. Then there are those who simply shun national pride because their flavor of the week NHL team doesn't have any American players. Pretty sad really

It will go something like this if we lose:

WHY WAS KUNITZ SELECTED ON THE TEAM?!
WHY WASNT PK SUBBAN PLAYING?!
zomgz, babcrock knows nothing!
Crosby is da best player in a da league and he needs better linemates in order to put up 1 point!
-(goaltender's name) cost us this tournament!
we wouldn't have lost if stamkos was here!
the refs helped russia win!

 

[here come the]

No, they'll win gold and then who really cares?
