I'd put shanny in over doan based on their play this year.

Marleau is a guy like Doan that can play C or W. He's one you can question over Doan, but that's a coin flip for me. Doan was very good at the World Cup.
 
The one thing I disagree with the most is Rick Nash. *** is someone who has played something like 4 games all year doing on the team? Damn there should be so many players going instead of him. I hope he gets injured so Spezza or Staal will play even if a center has to move to wing.

When he's on. Who knows if he will be? He's played well for a few weeks, wow.

He also has more points than any other right winger on the team other than Heatley, in spite of the slow start.
I know a lot of you Bertuzzi-haters can't look past the Steve Moore incident, but if Bertuzzi plays anywhere near what he has played the last few weeks, he will have a HUGE tourney, mark my words.
 
Even with the three or four questionable choices Team Canada still looks like it will do alright.

Maybe the Czechs or Swedes will give them a run, but they look ok to me.

Well I mean, obviously it's time for Canada to go into rebuilding mode and take rookies and build for the future. Like the Washington Capitals.
So where's Cam Ward?
 
I don't give a crap about whos is in. It's still the best lineup in the world.Looks very good on paper. Few teams have a chance for upset, but it really is a long shot (russia, finland, sweden, russia). Amazing team once again. Glad for everyone else it's a tournament so there could be some one game surprises!

Nice Canadian pride. :clap:

for the record, I think he said that before he realised that the Canucks were being announced last, given the location

of course Dan Cloutier isn't there just because he's injured...

Apparently I forgot the :D that is so necessary for the sveiglars of the board!

Forget Cam Ward, he's too old. How comes Jonathan Toews isn't on the taxi squad? He's the next MONSTER!

that reason, and the fact that there are about 50 other goalies better than him

If Marleau can play the wing at a decent level i'd have taken him over Doan..SD just hasn't played well this year, you can't rely on him just turning it on.
 
Team 2: (not including taxi squad)


Centers:

Patrick Marleau
Sidney Crosby
Jason Allison
Daniel Briere



Left Wing

Alex Tanguay
Paul Kariya
Brendan Shanahan
Brendan Morrow


Right Wing
Steve Sullivan
Corey Stillman
Marc Recchi
Nathan Horton


Defense

Dion Phaneuf
Dan Boyle
Brad Stuart
Jay Bouwmeester
Derek Morris
Mike Van Ryn


Goalies

Jose Theodore
Curtis Joseph
Ed Belfour


I think that would have a decent chance as well. Certainly not as impressive as the first team.

You know, you can take shots at those people that are claiming that Staal and Spezza should be on the team by suggesting these people believe they should be there only because they are rookies. Not true and a little lacking in class, but whatever.

Staal and Spezza have earned their way on the team, and not as waterboys. When you play they way they have, seems someone owes them an apology.

Give team 2 the taxi squad and I like their chances.
