If the other countries rosters are any indications, somebody will make the team out of the blue.

Granted, many european countries give spots to their domestic league guys, but who knows, maybe a defensive specialist can make his way unto Team Canada. TC did take Zamuner THAT year. And Shayne Corson.

Are they making a big show out of this or is this like the Swedes where it was basically three guys in front of a camera and that's pretty much it?

It's TSN, so of course it's a big show. The announcement isn't even until 11am but TSN's "coverage" is starting now.

Oh it's at 11? God damn it I was ready for it.

I'm told that Team Canada has been selected. Players are being called by management right now (and have been informed not to tweet).

In other news Team Canada will wear socks pants and jerseys.
Sidney Crosby is likely to make Team Canada.

None of the players in TEAM USA knew until the actual announcement. Which makesthis tweet a bit significant

Much Lulz when Boyle makes it over Subban and Nash makes it.

[Natey]

Kunitz over Giroux? :-/

I would have them both on my team.

ADD: Marleau, Giroux
SUBTRACT: Carter, Nash

 

[WeThreeKings]

Chris Kunitz on the team will be the biggest colossal joke of all time.

"OMG CHEMISTRY WITH CROSBY."

Give me a ****ing stick and I'll score 30 with Crosby. Jesus christ.

 

[Phil Parent]

Looking at that projected Team Canada and at the other rosters, it beats me how people doubt that we will medal.

 

[24Cups]

In other news Team Canada will wear socks pants and jerseys.

I was hoping they'd wear Cooperalls. That's the only thing that will take the taint off those jerseys.

Is the TSN stream working for others? It's not working for me: "There was an error loading the content".

Maybe it's because I'm out of the country.

Sportsnet has Subban in their consensus Top-6.

You can try Sportsnet;

I for one minute never bought into Subban not making the team.
He obviously will,just media trying to sell and get clicks...cause drama for a tv show.

Safe bet ,just like Patrick Kane won't be playing for team Canada

****ing TSN

"Subban, in his own end, turns it over"

Are you surprised? It's been systematic since the beginning of the season.

Every mistake is magnified x100...

and this doesn't apply to anyone else on the team.
