Let's say you have one spot left on defense for the Olympic roster. Do you take Jovonovski or Phaneuf ?

Jovo just has not had a great start to the season.... Why not give a young guy a chance to get a good taste of what he will be a part of for years to come.

but who're the six guys ahead of this decision?

Scott Niedermayer will be on the team.Rob Stauber said:Pick whoever you want.
Let's say:
Regehr
Redden
Pronger
Blake (Even though he doesn't deserve it)
Foote
The seventh call is the hard call.You're right............that's the top six no question........who do we take for 7th?Peter Griffin said:As of right now, I think Jovo is a lock to make the team. He hasn't been great this season, but he hasn't been horrible either. He's played for Canada in the past internationally, and has played well for them. Right now, I think Canada's top 6 will be Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger, Adam Foote, Rob Blake, Wade Redden and Ed Jovanovski. The final selection, or two if they carry 8 d-men, will be the hardest to make. But right now, I think Gretzky goes with what has been successful in the past.
Probably yeah.Experience....................yep.incawg said:Given his past international experience, I don't think this will even be an issue for Wayne. Jovo will be on the team.
A lot of people have already written Foote off and many are saying Jovo is on the bubble as well. With Regehr and Hannan in the wings and McCabe playing well, it is not hard to replace these two. Hannan hasn't been great this year and McCabe is a great offensive defenceman but is terrible on the large surface because he is slow and can't play defence. I could definitely see Regehr on this team though.cyclops said:The seventh call is the hard call.You're right............that's the top six no question........who do we take for 7th?
Burke's Evil Spirit said:The question at this point deserves to be Phaneuf vs. Blake, or Phaneuf vs. Hannan, not Jovanovski.
At any rate, I will be very surprised to see Phaneuf on the team, but that's what I said about Regehr when the World Cup rolled around...
Dumb people have written Foote off,don't worry....................he's on the team,and will knock heads when on it.Jo-vo i'm not sure of but i think only a guy like Phaneuf can take him off.Right now the top six is probably...........Pronger,Blake,Neidermayer,Regehr,Foote,Redden.............and one spot left...................you make the call!!!guzzy said:A lot of people have already written Foote off and many are saying Jovo is on the bubble as well.

Vinnie said:And leads his team with 32 giveaways. 11 more than #2 Bertuzzi.
Edit: That's 5th in the league, but Pronger is ahead of him with 33...
nesbit_21 said:between the two? I'll take Phaneuf, but in the grand scheme of things I dont want either.
Pronger Neidermayer
Blake Foote
Redden Regher
McCabe as an extra, or mabey Phaneuf.
