OT: The Official Team Canada/Ice Hockey Olympics Thread (Price starts Game 1)

[Habaneros]

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.

with another month of NHL games to play,today's roster naming means not much....injury will be sure to change the deck .

Subban vs Tsn ...remember who Subban was working with,it was Sportsnet ,who has him on the top 6...lol

 

[Wats]

Would be dumb to not take Couture and Giroux in favour of Kunitz and Carter.

 

[Johnny B Good]

I hate living in norway during stuff like this..Duthie tweeted that the TSN stream would NOT have a geo-lock, but it sure as hell does have one.

 

[JuicyHam]

Would be dumb to not take Couture and Giroux in favour of Kunitz and Carter.

Couture is having surgery on his hand not sure how long that will keep him out.

Crosby and Giroux same team, be interesting eh? .

I hope they focus their choices on speed and skills mostly given the bigger ice.

well yesterday he had quite a few ugly turnovers to be honest

doesnt mean he turns it over ALL the time though

 

[nilan30]

Can't say I see much of the Sharks but has Joe Thornton fallen off that much that he doesn't even get mentioned anymore?

His vision? No. His speed? Yes.

I think on NHL ice he would be close to a lock. But he's too slow for international ice.

 

[No More Subban]

Marleau Crosby Benn
Duchene Stamkos St. Louis
Tavares Toews Sharp
Perry Getzlaf Carter

Keith Weber
Pietrangelo Doughty
Bouwmeester Subban

If Stamkos can't make it, Tavares will be the 2nd line center and Rick Nash replaces him in the 3rd line.

Couture has been their go-to guy since at least last season. If he's not his team first center I doubt he'll make it over Crosby, Toews, Getzlaf and co.

 

[Natey]

His vision? No. His speed? Yes.

But Marleau should make this team. Especially when I look at the LWs like Carter and Kunitz (and I'm for Kunitz making the team).

Seems legit.

 

[Mrb1p]

I'll tell you, P.K. will not make it.

Nash will be on the team.

And stupid decisions will be made. Its pro hockey after all. Some of the dumbest people on earth.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

For once, cherry is right... Subban needs to be on the team

 

[Et le But]

From the TSN livestream:

Comment From Canada rules
Subban shouldn't make it. He isn't good enough to compete at this level yet

 

[Habaneros]

I'll tell you, P.K. will not make it.

Nash will be on the team.

He will make it ....PK Subban will be on the team

 

[Jigger77]

I'm 90% sure Subban is on the roster. I just don't see how you can not have him on the international ice. At least as an offensive/PP specialist.

 

[SB164]

*sigh*

I guess he's got my vote

Hoping to see @PKSubban1 wearing a #TeamCanada jersey today!

He was right about the junior selection being bad too sooooo...

 

[417]

So does every other dman in contention...but they don't have their mistakes exposed and featured every night on TSN

And then analyzed and then shown to us over over again.

 

[Adamcrazy3]

If PK isn't on the team, I am not watching the tournament. TSN projecting him as the #7 or #8 D man. Are these guys for real?

2nd in points as Canadian Defenseman and +14 on a team that barely scores at even strength.

 

[Jigger77]

Pretty sure Stevie Y and co aren't looking at TSN for their scouting of players.

Wow yes he woke up on the right side of the bed this morning
