What the Faulk
You'll know when you go
I think there's another thread rolling around here somewhere, and then there's the IIHF one for the WJC, but we may as well start one for Sochi. Hope no one wanted to do any themed GDTs. If so, feel free to either delete this or merge it.
With Team USA set to announce their list Wednesday, we may as well start talking about potential Hurricanes headed overseas. Who makes it, who doesn't? My list:
Locks:
Andrej Sekera, Alex Semin, Tuomo Ruutu, Jiri Tlusty, Eric Staal (despite what Yahoo people think).
Very good chance:
Justin Faulk
Long shots:
Jeff Skinner, Jordan Staal
Played his way off the team:
Cam Ward
It really is too bad about Ward since we all know how much it meant to him. First the injury, then his inability to find a groove this year. The opportunity to make it as a goaltender has never been better.
I do think Skinner could excel, but Team Canada is always just so stacked so he probably won't stand a chance of making it.
