The Russian team is going to be pure beast-mode in 2010. Canada's gonna need to bust a few ankles to get past that thing.
I don't like your picks for Canada, especially since I know you just copy and pasted them from proicehockey.com. They clearly just listed who they think the most skilled players are, without any regard to the roles that will have to be filled for the team to be succesful. Guys like Jordan Staal and Dan Cleary are dark horses that could be integral parts to Canada's success. Lecavalier and Heatley should both be left off the list for a good 2 week vacation.
Anyway the goalie trio should include Cam Ward, he's the most consistent goalie at the training camp, even if the team in front of him weaken his numbers. It's not often you see a softie float by this guy. Brodeur and Luongo, on the other hand, can carry a team to a win, but often let a poor goal slide past, and that can't happen in an Olympic tournament.
Goalies:
Brodeur
Ward
Fleury
Defence:
Pronger
Niedermayer
Beauchemin
Phaneuf
Keith
Seabrook
Forwards:
Crosby
Nash
Cleary
Iginla
Carter
Getzlaf
Eric Staal
Jordan Staal
Richards
Sharp
Toews
Doan
Is something closer to what I'd like to see. |
