Olympics: Canada Roster Discussion (Roster in post 1)

[YMCMBYOLO]

How does Canada rank against Czech? Will that be a hard game to win?

 

[tony d]

I'd think it'd be an equal game. To me this is anyone's tournament to win. I expect both teams to play hard, may the best team win.

Anyone have projected lines?

Anyone have projected lines?

They beat Sweden 4-1 today in a pre-tourney game and the lines were this:

Goals by: Mat Robinson, Christian Thomas, Rene Bourque, and Wojtek Wolksi

Lappy and MayRay should have been together

 

[Hagstrom]

They've pretty consistently had Lapierre as 4th line RW, they seem pretty convinced that's the role for him

 

[Artyukhin]

Thoughts about Canada's pp-units?

My god. It looks like the waiver-wire threw up on an Olympic roster sheet.

Forward depth isn't bad all things considered. It's the defence that worries me.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I mean, can we win something with that line-up?

 

[robsenz]

This roster pisses me off so much...as if this is team Canada.

Well it is. No different from any other team in this tournament that would've had NHL players on it.

LOL! are you serious?

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

LOL! are you serious?

Yes you read it right, it's still team Canada even if it the players aren't top quality. Officially it is labelled as "Canadian national men's ice hockey team".

They're a lovable bunch worth admiring, particularly if you watched their performance against the Swiss.

I like them already, they have come to play if todays game is any indication, they really worked their asses off.

 

[bert]

LOL! are you serious?

Are you?

 

[robsenz]

Are you?

Half of the top 10 scoring centers in the NHL are Canadian, A one two punch of any of those players is a massive advantage over the competition. Yet Hfboards says its just like any other national team roster, coooool.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Can people get the **** over it already? We all wanted to see an all-star Canadian lineup but the NHL decided otherwise months ago. It sucks but we still have a chance to win gold with that lineup. Get behind our players and stop crying about something we don’t have any control over.

 

[varsaku]

This year's jerseys have been a complete let down. Nike used the same design for every team. The only jersey that turned out okay was Sweden's because their arm pattern is not so obvious.

Agreed. Also this is like watching the AHL version of Team Canada. Fun! I guess

 

[Rookie109]

I watched part 1,2, and most of part 3 (they need to fix the audio on the last 3rd of part 3). Great presentation, I was always going to root for Canada anyways but this was great.

 

[Scott Stevens]

My god. It looks like the waiver-wire threw up on an Olympic roster sheet.

The player whose name you represent is playing in this tournament.

 

[Remix]

Has the starter against Korea been decided yet? Is it gonna be Scrivens again?
