Shocked Seabrook, Marty and Giroux didn't make it. Even more shocked there is no Staal going this season.

So is Dan Hummis over Seabrook

We need balance... therefore I would say both shouldn't be there.
A littled surprised with Hamuis and Carter.
- HipHopisDead

Not Hamhuis, he's a solid D. Carter, absolutely

Kunitz is my biggest complaint. Tough to leave off some of those names. And I would rather see Crosby play with full fledged superstars.

And what if 2 players gel with Crosby in the practice and preliminary rounds. Where the hell does Kunitz go.

Frustrating

Carter Marleau and Nash are terrible picks

Eric Staal > then all 3.
Marty St. Louis, the guy who won the fricking scoring title and known for his skating and tenacity, and likely the closest thing we have to Fleury > then all 3.

Grioux> then all three.

And neither Hamhuis or Vlasic are even in Seabrook's league.

Canada will win the Silver... thanks. Stevie Y!!!

over Seabrook? that's were I went wrong.

He is...but Seabrook is better.

That's not overthinking.. we need penalty killers
- HipHopisDead

That is exactly overthinking.

ALL players are capable of killing penalties. This team will also have 1st line guys playing 4th line minutes.

Bring your best players.

Canada has not done that.

Vlasic over seabrook? Crazy.

Carter over St. Louis? Crazy.

Kunitz over Giroux? Crazy.

Had to give a spot to Nash... just had to.
Marleau because Couture got hurt?
I had Giroux instead of Carter and Thornton instead of Kunitz.

That is exactly overthinking.

Agreed! If they wanted to take Crosby's linemate why not take Stamkos' in St. Louis?

No sense.

Nash and his 18 points combined with zero physicality really deserve a spot.

Vlasic over seabrook? Crazy.

Carter over St. Louis? Crazy.

Kunitz over Giroux? Crazy.

random nobodies opinions on a hockey forum with little to zero knowledge picking the team

I'll take Grapes position on the matter

Kunitz Crosby Stamkos
Sharp Toews Duchene
Perry Getz Tavaras
Benn Beregeron Nash/Marleau/Carter

Nash and his 18 points combined with zero physicality really deserve a spot.
- robin_steele264

yep he did.

He's huge, a great skater, experiences, part of the leadership, and is finally coming around and getting healthy the last 2 games.

St-Louis must be peeved

It's not about he's decline it's about what he's done for Canada in the past.

Bobby Ryan has turned down Team USA a few times. Nash - never!

I like Grioux over Nash..but not enought to complain. I think experience is over rated. Canada has enough.. most of these players have played in the olympics and WJC etc..

St-Louis must be peeved

Trade to Toronto?

He's not even declining. He scored 5 goals in 8 games after his concussion and then got crushed by shea weber against the boards and sustained an injury. Hes played.through it.and now seems to be healthy again picking up 2 goals last game and dominating in his limited ice time against the leafs.
