Who plays with Crosby in Sochi?

[Subby Dubby Doooo]

Crosby is definitely the 1st line center of team canada in Sochi (as long as he's healthy). Who does he play with? With Stamkos' injury, there is a chance stamkos wouldn't be on the team. However, for the sake of this thread, let's say he's fully recovered.

I honestly think sid should play with guys with speed and can keep up with him, with some grit and a good shot with a quick release.

Some options:

- Stamkos (I would be shocked if he's not playing with sid)
- Eric Staal
- Taylor Hall
- Corey Perry
- Matt Duchene
- Chris Kunitz
- Rick Nash

Doesn't have to be someone from the list.

kunitz and rick nash

 

[Terry Yake]

i'd say perry and kunitz

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Him and Duchene are summer buddies. They might have some chemistry with Dutchy on LW...not sure who would play RW with them though.

 

[JT3]

kunitz and rick nash

With Stamkos out, I say this.
With Stamkos in, I say Stamkos and St Louis

 

[The Shermanator]

Duchene.

 

[nyrleetch]

Gallagher.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I think Duchene will be up there with him so I'll say Duchene and Stamkos

 

[SI90]

Stammer being hurt changes things but it would be crazy to see Tavares on Crosbys wing

 

[Joey Moss]

Hall and Duchene.. Crosby gets them the puck while they're flying down the ice, no one's stopping them. I think that line would work well with the big ice.

 

[Arpi3080]

Give Jamie Benn a chance!

 

[Flamesjustwin]

Taylor Hall should not be on team Canada. Guy is dumber than a door knob.

 

[adorno]

Stamkos-Crosby-St Louis

Hopefully Stammer is fit and healthy by then

 

[The Kingslayer]

Duchene-Crosby-Tavares

 

[izzy]

Stamkos-Crosby-St Louis

Hopefully Stammer is fit and healthy by then

That seems very, very, very highly unlikely.

 

[aLus]

Definitely Kunitz. The other guy might be Nash, Duchene, or even Neal

 

[JayRosehillMVP]

Giroux could probably play wing. They'd be an unreal combo.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Give Jamie Benn a chance!

I wouldn't hate that. Benn is damn underrated.

But I'm going to say Nash and Perry.

 

[tuozzi]

I'd love to see Crosby with Duchene. No, wait, that's team Canada...no I don't!

 

[JayRosehillMVP]

Taylor Hall should not be on team Canada. Guy is dumber than a door knob.

Better than everyone on your team combined

 

[aLus]

I'd love to see Crosby with Duchene. No, wait, that's team Canada...no I don't!

I'd love to see Crosby with Stamkos (in their homes watching TV).

 

[mpp9]

Koon and Duchene. Always thought Evander Kane would be nuts with Sid as well.

 

[Flamesjustwin]

Better than everyone on your team combined

Not really. Monahan will develop into a much better player than Hall whose career will be over in a few years because he can't keep his head up. Only Oiler fans are putting Hall as a candidate for team Canada, there are much more deserving players that won't make the team than Hall.

 

[adorno]

That seems very, very, very highly unlikely.

I can dream ok?

I find it weird that Crosby, and all his greatness, doesnt seem to "fit" well with other superstar combinations.

Example: Kovalchuk-Malkin-Ovechkin looks orgasmic, and is more then likely going to be Russia's undisputed 1st line. For Team Canada on the other hand though, its a crap-shoot as no one really seems like an obvious choice to play with Crosby. It's like we are trying to shove a puzzle piece into a hole it doesnt fit into when making these projected lines
