Looks Like a pretty good team

 

[flamesfan01800]

With Nash out however, there's still room for one more forward. Matt Cooke maybe? Jason Spezza?

What about Mike Peca wasnt he there last yr?

 

[ohlund2.2]

Horcoff...and Staios....and Friesen...good God.

 

[colonel_korn]

Brendan Morrow, JP Dumont.

[Knucklez]

I am soooo stoked to see the Niedermayers on the team Especially Scott

 

[rye&ginger]

Dunno why they jumped the gun on the defensmen. Could have got guys like Aucoin, Jovo,Redden and even Boynton a shot over some of those guys.

 

[windowlicker]

TSN.ca is reporting that Rick Nash has withdrew due to an injury, but Brendan Morrison (VAN), Glen Murray (BOS), and Patrice Bergeron (BOS) have accepted invitations to join the team.

Raffi Torres anyone?

 

[Jussi]

Horcoff...and Staios....and Friesen...good God.

Horcoff was "a monster" at last year's World's.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Mike Fisher has been invited and if he gets medical clearance, will probably join the team.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Ficher, Morrow, and Smyth on team Canada.....more like Team J-Mac These are all my favorite players in the NHL. If only Doan could play.

 

[Askel]

Exactly how did him and his giveaways help the Canucks ?

Hmm did you even watch that series. Jovo had 4p was a +2 and Canucks best d-man. Jovo would be a top 2 dman on any team in the NHL.

Bure forced a trade and refused to play for the Canucks, I dont see how you can hate the canucks for trading a player that didnt want to play for them..

 

[lametis]

Matt Cooke has accepted.

 

[cyrisweb]

Matt Cooke has accepted.

Morrison and Cooke are joining team Canada.

Cool! Brewer, Mitchell and are all wearing #2?

 

[dw2927]

not only are all 3 goalies French, they are all from Montreal....weird..

If the world cup uses Brodeur, Theo and Luongo, they all will still be from Montreal....Well, I guess Theo is actually from Laval, but that's pretty close...

 

[goteam]

Smyth / Morrison / Heatley
Morrow / Briere / Murray
Friesen / Niedermayer / Williams
Horcoff / Bergeron / Dumont

Niedermayer - Brewer
Bouwmeester - Mitchell
Morris - Staios
Schultz

Luongo
Giguere
Denis

My lines:
Ryan Smyth/Shawn Horcoff/Glen Murray
J.P. Dumont/Daniel Briere/Dany Heatley
Jeff Friesen/Brendan Morrison/Justin Williams
Brenden Morrow/Matt Cooke/Rob Niedermayer
Patrice Bergeron, 13th forward

Smyth-Horcoff-Murray (Horcoff and Smyth played most of the year together in Edmonton, Murray adds more size to that line)

Dumont-Brière- (Dumont and Briere were together in Buffalo, Briere and Heatley had terrific chemistry in last year's WC)

Friesen-Morrison-Williams (Speed, speed, and more speed)

Morrow-Cooke-Niedermayer (Would make playing against Canada very difficult on the opponents)

Bergeron, Patrice - 13th forward (give him some experience filling in, maybe if he proves his worth could take over the tournament like J-Bo last year)


Additionally, I agree with your defensive pairings.

 

[mikkoz]

My lines:

Brière

Briére is really good on big ice. Lookin forward seeing some good goals from J.P. Dumont/Daniel Briere/Dany Heatley!b

 

[LaVal]

Brenden Morrow/Matt Cooke/Rob Niedermayer

Cooke hasn't played center since early in his junior career. he doesn't even take draws when the center is waved out. he can play either wing however.

 

[goteam]

OK that works. Cause Niedermayer has played a lot of center in his career. I knew Cooke played center early in his career and thought he had played some since. Oh well.
