OT: Post your Projected Canadian Olympic Roster

[Guerzy]

When was Toews traded to the Jets?

@680CJOB: Official @hockeycanada release on roster says Toews plays for #NHLJets. Cruel joke? #sochi2014 http://t.co/pq3twwzj7a

That just looks so good.

I like the selections.

I find it funny how some people think they can create a better hockey roster than the likes of Mike Babcock, Ken Hitchcock, Claude Julien, Lindy Ruff, Steve Yzerman, Doug Armstrong, Peter Chiarelli, Ken Holland, and Kevin Lowe.

True - Kevin Lowe knows about winning!

Maybe we should just lock this thread since these guys have all the answers?

We sent back Buff for him. Didn't you get the release?

 

[Gil Fisher]

Based on the selection, my lines would be:

Tavares Crosby Stamkos
Sharp Toews Carter
Duchene Getzlaf Perry
Benn Bergeron Marleau

Nash, Kunitz (not sure why we need two extra left wingers)

Keith Doughty
Vlasic Weber
Pieterangelo Subban

Hamuis, Boumeester (not in love with third pairing, but don't like J-bow either)

I think I prefer Loungo a bit over Price, but think it'll be the latter in net.

 

[cheswick]

That's a terrible argument.

Yeah I'm sure its cause they're in a position of authority he thinks they know more than you, not the 15 Stanley cups they've won.

You realize you just did the exact same thing right?

Nash and Carter over Giroux, St Louis, Couture, Thornton, E Staal...don't know about those picks.

 

[Romang67]

Crazy that Marty St. Louis isn't on there. I always figure he's a given.

I think that we can safely assume that this made St. Louis Blue(s).

It's always open mic night for you isn't it?

Think I'd have Giroux and Couture over Nash and Kunitz.

I try to keep people entertained!

 

[Boreal]

St. Louis is a tough omission. I like the inclusion of Carter. It's not that Kunitz isn't deserving, it's just tough to see him there and Marty not.

I am totally ok with St. Louis not being on the Team, there are better current players. Those players aren't Nash or Kunitz.

No I haven't. There's a difference between listening to an authortive figure based solely on authority and listening to someone with a proven track record. It's assinine to suggest a random internet poster with no track record knows as much about creating a winning hockey team as someone who has created a successful winning hockey team in the past.

 

[pucka lucka]

You are quite wrong. That's not an argument for why someone else is incorrect. Appealing to past successes is not an argument for someone being correct now.

 

[Kinjero]

Really glad I got a chance to listen to the Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt, speak. Was the highlight for me.

 

[Mathil8]

Apparently Logan Couture needs surgery on his hand and is out 3-4 weeks. Maybe this had something to do with him being left off the roster?

 

[King Woodballs]

Kunitz? Marleau? Carter? Nash?

No St Louis or Neal?

Couture is not there because he is having surgery and probably will be unable to play.

Couture and Yzerman said it didn't

I thought I heard the TSN panel say he was left off, regardless of his injury.. I could be wrong though..

You had me up until the bolded

Fair enough

Injury wouldn't be the reason. Final roster doesn't have to be declared until 2 hours before the first game, so any injured guys would have been named regardless today, like Luongo and Stamkos were.

Here's an interesting list of players. Most interesting is where Sceif & Couts ended up
