Stoked about Burr's inclusion. My take on the lines:
Benn - Tavares - Skinner
Sharp - Getzlaf - Perry
Kane - Nugent-Hopkins - Eberle
Ladd - O'Reilly - Burrows
Purcell
Keith - Subban
Bouwmeester - Phaneuf
Methot - Vlasic
Schenn
Ward
Dubnyk
Hackett
PP1:
Nugent-Hopkins - Tavares - Eberle
Keith - Subban
PP2:
Benn - Getzlaf - Perry
Bouwmeester - Phaneuf
PK1:
Sharp - Burrows
Keith - Vlasic
PK2:
Ladd - O'Reilly
Bouwmeester - Methot
Captain: Getzlaf
Alternate: Ladd
Alternate: Tavares
Very disappointed Burrows is on the team. Not the kind of character I want representing Canada.
Couldn't be happier that Burr's on the team!
If you have some time and an open mind, here's Burrows' Heart of a Canuck feature. You may not be able to understand what he's saying lol, but you may get a better idea of who he is off the rink. The last 5 or 6 minutes really show how much determination and heart he has (plus there's some nice Luc Bourdon stuff at the very end).
HC_TeamCanada said:CAN d-pairings/ duos defensifs - Methot-Phaneuf; Keith-Subban, Bouwmeester-Schenn, Murray
Kane-Getzlaf-Perry- I like keeping teammates together. Put a guy like Kane in there and you have a physically dominating line. A line like this would give nightmares to defensemen on the cycle.
Skinner-RNH-Eberle- Again, teammates together, add in a player of simular stature. Pure skill and speed. Plus Canada always has some form of "kid" line.
Benn-Tavares-Sharp- Classic case of powerforward + sniper/playmaker+2 way forward. All of these guys bring different things to the table and should compliment eachother well.
Ladd-O'Reilly-Burrows- This has the looks of a fantastic shutdown line. Burrows is great on the PK and relentless, as is Ladd and O'Reilly.
I agree with poster above me in regards to defense.
No clue on special teams, options are limitless really... go with whoever is hot.

Man, those line combos look great. Canada has a deep squad this year.
Considering you probably know nothing of Burrows outside of him playing against your team it's not surprising.Very disappointed Burrows is on the team. Not the kind of character I want representing Canada.
I always liked Burrows a lot,especially after Ron Macleans anti Burrows docu-drama on HNIC.
I wasn't pleased though with his purportedly opening the gate at the bench behind a Sens player, which can be very dangerous.
The rest of his repertoire to me are just par for the course as an agitater and he is the most likeable of agitaters.
Spezza won't be joining the team. He contacted Team Canada to join & they told him the team was already set.
What was Canada lineup actually like vs Switzerland? Who was wearing the C or A's
Ah but good old Ron MacLean wouldn't have an agenda would he?Oh you mean Jesse Winchester, who he is good friends with and has trained with in the offseason? The gate wasn't closed properly because it was at the end of a 55-second shift and Canucks players were already jumping the boards.
Ron Maclean planted that seed in everyone's head when he blurted out something when he first saw it along the lines of "think he did that on purpose?"
