Olympics: 2014 — Canada Roster Discussion (Part XVII) (Released, Post 1)

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

What chemistry? Neal almost never plays with Crosby in Pitts. He's always with Malkin.

And every other player on the roster literally never plays with Crosby.

Expect Canada to name its replacement player this morning. Could be in next 15-30 mins. #TSN

[TheeNorthStar]

Oh boy. As a huge Marty fan. He better get selected.

 

[86Habs]

Hoping for Giroux or St Louis. Expecting Staal or Neal.

I assume that means they've chosen the player and are just trying to contact him before they release it to the media.

[RedBaronIndian]

Happy for Marty. Easy guy to root for.

 

[No1]

St Louis!

 

[Orca Smash]

Would have picked giroux, but MSL is fine.

Martin St Louis [TBL] Named to Team Canada to replace Steven Stamkos

Per CBC feed, confirmation pending.

 

[1Gold Standard]

MSL is the right choice. Giroux should be on the team as well. That's one mistake Team Canada will have to live with and overcome...so I'm glad they didn't compound their mistakes with another one.

 

[86Habs]

Good decision. I'm very happy for St Louis, and looking forward to seeing him with a maple leaf on his jersey one last time.

 

[Grounded]

It's on TSN now too. This was the right call by Yzerman.

 

[Brewsky]

Good call - MARTY GONNA TEAR IT UP Let the line combos begin.

Kunitz-Crosby-St. Louis/Tavares

I would just want Kunitz off and have

Tavares-Crosby-St.Louis
Sharp-Toews-Nash
Perry-Getzlaf-Carter
Benn-Bergeron-Duchene

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Good for him!!

 

[Shoalzie]

Awesome!

 

[SenorDingDong]

Marty Mc-Super Fly baby!

 

[From The Couch]

Atta boy msl!

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Happy for him!

 

[moonbal]

Good. But now people will tear him apart if he doesn't 'produce' in Sochi.

 

[waitin425]

The best part is, he is a replacement player yet will not be on the taxi squad. Good call!!
