Nash will be good - he was in Vancouver - he will be in Sochi.
- Woderwick

yup

that changes things how?

he got 6.5million because of his big point producing seasons.. he has regressed offensively ever since.. and now he is approx. a 35P guy who is an average shutdown defender at best.
- Dozzer

Not average. He's on track for that this season but that's not average.

Last season he was on track for nearly 48 points.

He will put up #'s again I'm sure of it.

Dion is +15 on a - team....
He leads the team in +/-

the only person who comes close is Gunnarson who is his partner..
- twiztedmike

and he has as many own goals as he does in the oppositions net. lol

QoC Dozzer... QoC.

+15 against top opposition.

yeah damn him and his 54P pace and plus 22 rating.. damn him all to hell
- Dozzer

Hey, you put Gunnerson on the St.Louis team and he might get 40 points... so whats your point?

PS. he has 3 goals this year... on pace for 6... All those points are assists (again, it is his team, not him!)

I am not saying Dion is better, I just think Blowmaster doesn't deserve to be there...

QoC Dozzer... QoC.

- markmark

he also has the advantage of being on the ice when kessel's line is

carlyle plays him in gimmie situations as well.. no one mentions that

frankly stats aside.. when you watch him, he routinely gets beat to the outside and his back checking looks about as motivated as a delinquent child at school

What do you mean how? It's the basis of the whole statement. If everyone thinks he's awful how is he overrated?

i would take him over phaneuf anyday of the week

- burn

nonis pays him 7 million.. a ton of fans love him to death

i didnt say over rated by everybody.. but by enough

its funny to me that our best and most dominating player is also the smallest

Guys. Hamhuis have been really good all year.
- stormey

Yes he has, and he fit in the R/L d mold. Doesnt surprise me at all.

i've been telling these guys for weeks nash makes the team

he is by far the most experienced canadian player for world play under the age of 30
- Dozzer

Eric Staal is one of only 7 Canadians to ever be in the Triple Gold Club...and he's younger than Nash.

Probably should have made it. He's not afraid to lay a body check either.

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

you like team Russia that much eh?

- Dozzer

I think he closes lanes down really well and is smart with his stick as well. The only thing I think he can be blatantly bad at is decision making on the point when it comes to pinching.

How is that terribly overrated?

How the hell does St. Louis not get on this team? You want fast guys on big ice! He has wheels! He has been there before and is a proven winner!? I just don't understand this. This is the same as the world junior disaster... they looked over some of the best and highly skilled junior players on the planet and then couldn't score in the big game

If jagr is allowed to play, st louis is allowed to play

nash ia a natural winger, staal is not

nash has also played in more world tourneys than staal

key cog in many world cup teams while staal was in the playoffs

JBo was a lock.
- robin_steele264

I know, but I think he just doesn't have the 'winning edge' (for lack of a better phrase). Is he a good d-man? Sure. But I would rather have a proven winner, with experience...

not exactly a point in his favor.
