Giroux is better than Nash in every aspect. Better offensively, better defensively, better on PK, better on PP, better leader, can play multiple positions, great on face-offs…I could go on and on. Nash is just bigger and faster.

Rick Nash has played in exactly 1 more NHL playoff game in his entire NHL career (16) than he did in his one year stay in Switzerland during the '05 lockout alone (15).

No Semin for team Russia

Nash is the better goal scorer. Giroux wins all other categories.

listening to some Penguins media guy lose his mind over the idea of picking guys like G and Nash over Kunitz and Neal.

He rips the idea of what G will show up (the one from earlier this year or the G from the last few months who has been "ok". but then says Neal and Kunitz have produced over the last 3 years at a high rate. Umm so has G you dumb ass

Russia is going to be scary good offensively.

Russia's blue line is weird. I don't know if I'd call it deep.

or they could flop because they are very much individual talents then team players.. A few guys aside.

Couture confirms he did not make the team

How about Briere?

This tournament is on their home ice. Lots of pressure to win.

I hope Giroux doesn't make it. A pissed off Giroux is a very dangerous Giroux. Also is that popov guy on team Russia a flyers draft pick?

i wonder if that has anything to do with his hand surgery.

I think you're confusing team Canada with Montreal Canadiens roster

I don't know, but they sure could use Samsonov.

Is Lidstrom playing for Sweden?

I hope he does. He deserves it.

Popov was my favorite cheap vodka in college.

I think you're thinking of Denis Bodrov?

Actually, I confused it with the Canadian national bantam division team.

How about Gagne?

I think it's Andrei Popov, who was drafted by the Flyers in 2005. Never made the jump across the pond.

This is taking forever
