Olympic Shooters: Pick 5

[octopi]

Quite Simple, Pick a few countries and who you think they should/would use in a shootout. (And please keep in mind these are off the top of my head)


Canada: (I have no idea, however, in which order)
1.Sakic
2.Lemieux
3.Iginla
4.Thorton
5.Staal

Russia: (Might send Ovechkin first, and a vet like Fedorov last. A miss would be very hard for a really young player)
1.Datsyuk
2.Fedorov
3.Kovalchuk
4.Kovalev(would probably replace with Mogilny is available)
5.Ovechkin

Sweden:
1.Sundin
2.Alfredsson
3. Nasland
4. Forsberg
5. Lidstrom(probably)

[Phanuthier*]

Iginla is something like 1/12 on PS/SO

I would not want him shooting. Heck, I'd rather have Regehr take a PS.

 

[kira]

I see a pretty good list for Russia, with Pasha, Ilya Kovalchuk, Ovechkin...but I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Max Afinogenov...I think he would be a good possibility.

Am I off the mark somewhere?

 

[FlamesAllTheWay]

Iginla is god awful at the shootout. I think he's scored twice this year and one of them was a slapshot from just inside the blueline during exhibition. In-game breakaway and he seems to do alright because he aint thinking too much, but during a shootout/penalty shot he overthinks and usually messes up.

No way he shoots, IMO...

EDIT: I see Phanuthier already covered this... oooops

He has 2?!?!?!

 

[Jussi]

1) T. Ruutu
2) Koivu
3) Lehtinen
4) Berg
5) Selanne

 

[100mph slapshot]

I'm sure Berg would pull out a move superior to Malik's.

In real world it would look something like this:

1. T. Selänne
2. S. Koivu
3. J. Lehtinen
4. T. Ruutu
5. J. Jokinen (is 3/3 in SO this year)
