Heatley
Iginla
Sakic

hmmm....I wouldn't know whom to put there for the other two spots. I think it'd be between Spezza, Crosby, Lecavalier, and Lemieux. I'll go with Spezza and Crosby out of them two.

 

[wilka91*]

Malik owns them all!

 

[TORRUS]

Why are peolple putting Iginla?

As I heard, he sucks at shootouts. And that's what most Flames' fans think.

 

[Viflux]

Heatley
Crosby
Lecavalier
Nash
Bourque...oops, I mean Richards


Seriously though, having Bourque in the shootout and the best player in the history of the planet sitting on the bench still burns.

You may be right - good thing the game between Canada and Russia will be over well before a shootout.

Malik isn't Russian.

Malik isn't Russian.

Dang.. I read that as Malkin.

I think I need eyeglasses

Bourque was a stupid choice. But in my opinion Gretzky wouldn't have been a very good choice either. By 1998, Gretzky had declined to nothing more than a 15-20 goal scorer. Plus, he was never good at breakaways to begin with.

Yzerman should have been the player who took Bourque's spot in the 1998 shootout.

What Gretzky had declined to is irrelevant.

It was a sad moment to see the best player ever sitting on the bench while infinitely less talented individuals were given an opportunity.

Lindros
Shanny
Yzerman
Sakic
Gretzky

Unless I'm forgetting someone.

I agree with most people, except this year I think you'd be crazy not to go with Gagne.

 

[arrbez]

Gagne
Crosby/Staal
Heatley
Sakic
Nash

 

[FisticufsFred22]

with all the other talent that canada has, giving Crosby a shootout spot would be a waste.

Heatley
Lecavalier
Staal
Sakic
Gagne

 

[100mph slapshot]

1. Joe Sakic
2. Sidney Crosby
3. Scott Niedermayer
4. Jason Spezza
5. Dany Heatley

This would have the potential to be a Nagano-style debacle.

If Canada used Scott Niedermayer in a shootout, and lost the shootout, then Scott Niedermayer would become the new Raymond Bourque.

 

[luv_canadian_hockey]

my five (in no particular order)
Spezza
Heatley

Gagne

Except Scott would score. No doubt about it.

Glad I wasn't the only one

 

[Jazz]

If Kariya makes the team (can't remember if he was on the long-list) he should be a lock for the shootout. I think he is 3/3 so far this year.

 

[David]

with all the other talent that canada has, giving Crosby a shootout spot would be a waste.

Heatley
Lecavalier
Staal
Sakic
Gagne

Did you not see what Sid did under ALL that pressure as the final shooter in Montreal, his favorite team and in front of his parents?

This kid lives for the BIG moments and can deliver when it matters! He has shown that he has knack for coming through when under a pressure cooker. Olympic shoot outs would be the perfect place for Sidney Crosby!

 

[BuppY]

Iginla
Heatley
Sakic
Kariya (if he makes the team)
Marleau
