Stoty Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 JEFF CARTER!!!!! Not too sure about Giguere. Maybe Fleury/Price? Other than that, you have pretty much the team picked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenhawk Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 but who would you get rid of to add in jeff carter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 with the way he's playing lately.....Spezza St. Louis is also not living up to his ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubris21 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Definitely Carter over Spezza. Way better team guy! and I doubt Giguere will be there, I agree Fleury or Price. Also I wonder if Brodeur will still be at his peak when the Olympics roll around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubris21 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 And just too add another name into the fire, how about Jay Bowmeester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'll Play Heres who i would pick Centres: Thornton, Crosby, Getzlaf, M Richards (other - Savard) Wingers ( and yes lots are centres but they need to know there role): J. Carter, Lecavalier, Nash, Marleau, Iginla, Gagne, Heatley, Toews (other - E Staal) Defense: Phaneuf, M. Green, Campbell, Boyle, Keith, Weber (other Doughty) Goalies: Luongo, Turco , Ward (other Fluery, Ellis) There you go, pick em a part, but i think they need to bring some young guys, like they have in the past that will be the go to guys in the future. They may not play much, but having them there would be beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubris21 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I agree with the young guys needing to be there. Good call on Shea Weber, he will likely be there. Can't say I agree with Turco or Ward though. I think Price or Fluery are more likely to be in the backup spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemper Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lots of good calls, but what about steve mason? I think you could see him in the backup spot the way hes been playing Also think toews will see the ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenhawk Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 mason will be too young still in my opinion....maybe in 2014 he will rise as an elite canadian star....as much as i'd love to see Tavares there next year that prolly won't happen either same with Patrick Sharp, Cody Hodgson, Jordan Eberle.....all players im sure we will see in 2014.....should be an exciting tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 those guys are all going to be rookies next year, except for Sharp and there is no garantee that those players will be in the NHL even. Even Tavares might not crack a lineup (good chance he will) but he is still a rookie. Those guys wont even get a sniff. Mason...Maybe...but there are too many good quality young goaltenders before him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the numbers he is going to put up for london during the rest of the season, first star his first three games out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
