NO


Eberle will be also be 1st line and captain and goalie coach

i don't think there should be any question about nash not making the team. he's a better skater than the majority of the forwards invited to camp and will be in the top 6 and probably on the 1st line.

Leafs news is practically dead now

You forgot Ryan Smyth and Sam Gagner

stall's are overrated

jordan staal i didn't see a point of asking when marleau and jamie benn would of been a better candidate .. i still dont see how lucic and marchand and ladd were asked

Still kinda surprised Girardi didn't get an invite to camp while Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Marc Methot did.

The dark horse could end up being either Couture or Patrick Sharp.

I can see why Ladd was, but Lucic and Marchand would be in the box all game. They're built for post season play.

Are we putting Hall on the Crosby line because we feel sorry that he got his face skated on? That's the only explanation I can come up with. Bozak has the chemistry and the faceoff skills (when Crosby gets kicked out) for that line IMHO.

edit: I noticed a typo - you have RNH in that lineup too.

bozak over taylor hall on the first line? can't tell if you're being sarcastic lol.

if i'm team canada, i put out a lineup similar to:
Stamkos - Crosby - Nash
Hall - Giroux - Tavares
Couture - Toews - Perry
Lucic - Bergeron - Richards

every line can score and the bottom 6 has some good shutdown guys that can also lay out some hits.

Seriously. Methot and Vlasic must have some dirt on somebody.

Apparently you haven't seen Bozak play much.

Lucic is great for the small ice and North American style of play, but when it comes to olympic size ice and a less physical game, Lucic shouldnt be ahead of others.

Brad Marchand will make this team.
