Over the next 9 days, everyone and their dog will be getting their say in about Team Canada.
For the record, I will be making my final picks on December 28, 2009. It may not be as highly anticipated as Yzerman's announcement but I'm sure you'll all want to circle the date on your calendars.

GOALIES: Brodeur, Fleury, Luongo
DEFENCE: Niedermayer, Pronger, Boyle, Weber, Keith, Bouwmeester, Doughty
FORWARDS: Crosby, Iginla, Nash, Getzlaf, Perry, St. Louis, Thornton, Marleau, Heatley, Richards, Penner, Doan, Toews
Thoughts?
I have no idea how he can take Doan. When you consider he's not having a good year this season, combined with little playoff experience, he won't be a game breaker. Send in Fisher instead.
ReplyDeletethat team = loss! No richards, no doan!!!!!! and too many old defencemen... i say go with
ReplyDeleteBrodeur
Fleury
Luongo
Boyle,Phaneuf
Niedermayer, Green
Keith, Pronger
Weber
Heater,Thornton,Marleau
St. Louis,Crosby,Iginla
Nash,Getzlaf, Perry (the dirrrrrrrty line)
Penner, Lecavalier, Fisher
Toews
Boooouya!
So SBP, you want to get rid of the old defencemen on the team yet you keep in Niedermayer and Pronger who are by far the oldest defencemen and get rid of Doughty who's the youngest and Bouweester, who's in his mid twenties. Makes sense. Then you take out Richards off the checking line who is one of the best two way forwards in the game for Lecavalier who having a terrible year for his standards and is not known for his defensive play. Another good call.
ReplyDeleteThe only move that you call for that I agree with is subbing in Fisher for Doan. Fisher is having a great year and his physical presence and defensive prowess would make him a great fit beside Richards on the fourth line.
I guess living in Ottawa you don't get to hear much about Doughty but he's a stud. He's already one of the best defencemen in the league and he's 19. I think he's a great pick for the seventh defenceman.
personally i think we should go with the young guys too...

Niedermayer is there on rep alone & pronger is a douche

ReplyDeletePenner? Really?
ReplyDeleteFisher is outproducing every guy he is competing with for a spot.
Bergie outplayed him last night!
ReplyDeleteWhat has Doan done lately?
ReplyDeleteWere's Green?
ReplyDeleteDoan in 2010 would be the equivalent of Bertuzzi in 2006, a pick made on reputation and hope rather than current performance. They promised that they wouldn't play favourites with this roster, now they have to deliver. They can't possibly leave Fisher off the team with the way he has played this season.
ReplyDeletePronger is a giant douche, but you cant leave him off the team. Fisher should be a lock, and Doughty for experience in 2014 (if NHL goes). Toews for same reasons as Doughty, besides being great.
