OK....who will be the Best Goalie, Best D-man, Best Forward, etc.

Who does everyone think will bring home the;

Best Goaltender:

Best D-man:

Best Forward:

MVP:

and 1st All-Star team:

 

g: schwartz

d: phanuef

f:malkin or crosby

all star team
G schwartz
d phanuef
d coburn
f malkin
f crosby
f o'sullivan

 

I'll go out on a limb and say:

Montoya

Phaneuf

Crosby

Crosby

Malkin Ovechkin Crosby
Phaneuf Suter
Montoya


Here's a guess at what Leafaholix will say (he replies to everything):

Goalie - Pogge - Canada will have several goalies injured in camp, and Pogge will be called in, and rescue the day. Once Sutter sees him in training camp he will realize the error of his ways, and Pogge will be the starter.

Defence - Vorobiev. A no brainer. He's playing in the Russian League, he's a Leaf pick....duh.

Forward - Jan Steber. I still can't believe those idiots in the WJC pool haven't picked him yet. A natural sniper if I've ever not seen one.

MVP - Steber. By far the most talented player at the tournament.

 

G: Schwartz
D: Phanuef
F: Jeff Carter

MVP: Jeff Carter
Ovechkin Carter Crosby

Phanuef Suter

Schwartz

 

Best Goaltender: Schwarz

Best D-man: Phaneuf

Best Forward: Malkin

MVP: Phaneuf (Schwarz if Czech's sneak into a gold medal game...)

 

Ovechkin, Soderberg, Bergeron

Suter, Paneauf

Schwartz

 

If he stays healthy, watch out for Danny Fritsche to have a huge tournament.

 

Best Goaltender: Alvaro Montoya
Best D-man: Ryan Suter
Best Forward: Sidney Crosby
MVP: Sidney Crosby
1st All-Star team:

F - Jeff Carter
F - Alexander Ovechkin
F - Sidney Crosby
D - Ryan Suter
D - Dion Phaneuf
G - Alvaro Montoya

 

Goaltender: Schwarz
Forward: Ovechkin
Defensemen: Phaneuf
MVP: Schwarz

All Stars

Stewart - Soderberg - Ovechkin
Phaneuf - Mezaros
Schwarz

 

Best Goaltender: Alvaro Montoya

Best D-man: Dion Phaneuf

Best Forward: Alexander Ovechkin

MVP: Alexander Ovechkin (Russia win against Canada)

1st All-Star team:

Alexander Ovechkin - Sidney Crosby - Patrice Bergeron
Dion Phaneuf - Andrej Meszaros
Alvaro Montoya

 

Exact same for me!!! I was going to go with the same guys, no kidding. Maybe Crosby will be the best forward though. But Ovechkin is 2 years older, so he's got the edge on that.

 

Good call.

 

Best Goaltender:
Schwarz
Best D-man:
Mejzaros
Best Forward:
Ovechkin
MVP:
Ovechkin

and 1st All-Star team
Ovechkin
Malkin
Crosby
Mejzaros
Phaneuf
Schwarz

Guys I think will be in the running for awards:
Jeff Carter
Anthony Stewart
Alvaro Montoya
ROSTISLAV OLESZ
EVGENY MALKIN
Ladislav Smid

 

I take it you enjoyed my picks.

 

Or maybe he's just better right now.

 

Yeppers.

 

No offense to Phaneuf or any of Canada's defensemen, but I think Ryan Suter will get the better chance to shine at this tournament....especially if last year was a precursor for the way this team will be coached. Suter may see close to 30 minutes a night on USA's blueline, for good or bad.

 

Goalie: Montoya
Defence: Phaneuf
Forward: Ovechin, maybe Crosby

 

Suter will log a ton of minutes that's for sure. There's even less of a veteran presence this time around. I'm hoping he gets involved in the offense a bit more.

 

Goligoski could surprise some people...

 

Why do you think that?

Oh wait, it's obvious. It's because you're a penguins homer and he's a penguins prospect. Duh.

 

G - Montoya
D - Suter
F - Malkin
MVP - Crosby, Montoya, or Ovechkin.

 

Best Goaltender: dunno Schwartz or Montoya

Best D-man: Phaneuf

Best Forward: Crosby

MVP: Crosby...

and 1st All-Star team:

Schwartz
Phaneuf Sutter
Ovechkin Crosby Guggisberg (he plays on the same line like Thornton in Davos)

 

Everybody is so high on montoya and schwarz. Wow, i've always noticed that the WJC is the tourney where little known goalies explode. I don't know who to pick, but i can't wait till i see a new goalie come out of nowhere and i wouldn't be suprised to see that happen.

 

Ok, I'll go with the obvious:
G- Montoya
D- Phaneuf
F- Crosby
MVP- Crosby
All-stars:
Crobsy-Ovechkin-O'Sullivan
Phaneuf-Barker
Montoya

Too much to expect from Crosby?
