Build Canada's "Team Z" - a nightmare team, if you will...

[rec28]

Just to try to lighten the spirits of my fellow Canadian fans, who would you select to represent Canada at the Bizarro-World Olympics?

My team would be anchored on defence by Cory Cross and Wade Belak.

On an Olympic sized ice surface, I'd have to add Sean O'Donnell to that defence corps.

Dan Cloutier would be my goalie of choice (before you hack on me for that, know that I have Cloutier in a keeper league ... and yes, by choice)

Well, Canadians love grit, so I estimate somthing like:

Worrell - Ryan Johnson - Darcy Hordichuk
Worrell - Ryan Johnson - Darcy Hordichuk
Worrell - Ryan Johnson - Darcy Hordichuk
Worrell - Ryan Johnson - Darcy Hordichuk

Wade Belak - Paul Laus
Wade Belak - Paul Laus
Wade Belak - Paul Laus

Jamie Allison (was backup for a Nashville-Florida game)

Nice. Add Scott Ferguson, perhaps?

 

[Rick Middleton]

Try to exclude goons from the equation. It's too easy to pick a stone-hands thug. Try to fill up the team with 4th line plumbers. My forward corps would be nowhere without Steve Martins. Add him to the list.

Patrick Lalime in goal

I hear Alexander Karpovstev might be working on getting Canadian Citizenship.

 

[jekoh]

I'm sure this team would beat Switzerland, I mean most of the Swiss aren't even in the NHL.

 

[Safir*]

How about Tbo as the starting goaltender?

 

[JF]

He has to be there.

[Habsruleen]

Dags is the captain for sure.

 

[Randall Graves*]

This team needs Mike Jefferson

Impressive. Quite impressive. Hands down the leader at the moment. Not sure what you win, though. 2 expired coupons to Dairy Queen, perhaps.

Team Z

As a starting point, who are all the Canadian-born players on the Capitals?

 

[Pens1566]

Any serious contender must have Shane Endicott as its #1 center.
