hatethosebruins Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Here we can discuss any news regarding the upcoming camps and who we think should be on the roster I figure we will get something like: Stamkos-Crosby-Perry Benn-Giroux-Nash Seguin-Toews-Eberle Staal-Getzlaf-Hall my defense would be: Subban-Weber Pietrangelo-Doughty Letang-Boyle Goaltenders: Price Luongo Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstStar Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Isn't Karlsson Swedish? And I don't think Yandle is Canadian either. Yes he is, one of the reasons why he and Alfie are so close. Alfie took him under his wing, now Erik is like part of the Alfie family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerplay2009 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 The problem with these tournaments for me is that these players are thrown together and sometimes have a hard time working together well so quickly, so I would "copy and paste" lines where possible. Off the top of my head without much thought I would go with Iginla-Crosby-Neal from Pittsburgh St. Louis-Stamkos-Nash with the deadly duo from Tampa Perry-Getzlaf-Eberle with two from the Ducks Staal-Staal-Toews with two from Carolina and to use as the shutdown line, because all 3 are fantastic defensively I think you get two auxilary forwards this time, and I don't know who to use I mentioned this in another thread, and with defense its harder, but I go: Keith-Seabrook from Chicago Doughty-Weber they were paired together in 2010 IIRC Subban-Staal/Peitragelo Letang/Boyle-Staal/Peitrangelo/Boyle if you get a 4th pairing that I heard about in an NHL article update a couple weeks ago (Can't find it for some reason) No matter what the team is, it should be really exciting. A North American team hasn't medaled at an Olympics outside of North America since NHL participation, so maybe I should tamper expectations, but our defense is the best in the world, and so are our forwards. Not liking the prospect of our goaltending compared to other countries is the problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddienmike Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 It hasn't been finalised yet that the NHL will take part as far as I know,the insurance seems to be the thing holding it up,if that goes bust,we may have an amateur team there.

GO CANADA GO All parties involved said that the insurance will be sorted out, and are progressing on the assumption that NHL players go. They've had lots of progress at the meeting in Helsinki and Stockholm the past couple weeks. Also, with a lot of young players leading the US at the WCs, they might be quite the young team in Sochi to look out for, with Gibson(starter? I would), Trouba, Galchenyuk, and more.

kinot-1 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 An agreement has been reached between the NHL, National Hockey League Players' Association, International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation to send NHL players to the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The NHL will break from the 2013-14 regular season schedule on February 9 and return to play February 26 to allow for participation in the Games. Canada opens the Olympic tournament Feb. 13 against Norway. 2014 men's Olympic hockey groupings Pool A: Russia, Slovenia, Slovakia, United States Pool B: CANADA, Austria, Finland, Norway Pool C: Czech Republic, Latvia, Switzerland, Sweden Full article here: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=427999 They just HAVE to pick PK, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddienmike Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 No problem PK will be there,on thats hockey there are still sure Carey will go,that he is the natural choice along with Lou,not sure about the third goalie. There is 3 days between when the league shuts down and the Olympics,there is little chance of our guys getting to play together,before the first game,there is a meeting in Calgary in August but they proberly won't get on the ice because of insurance problems. Personaly I don"t think that is any way to go about it,how can a team become a team overnight,they should at least have a practice,every other sport they practice together, if they were playing for England for football they always have a camp beforehand or any other country come to that,it doesn"t make sense.

FirstStar Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 According to TSN, both Subban and Price are considered as potential players to represent Canada in 2014. Obviously it'll all depend on how they do next season, but as of today, their names are being mentioned.

maddienmike Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 What makes me laugh,is that we are putting all our guys on their respective country teams,and many of them will be there. But Markov is too old and slow to play on our HABS,Diaz is too small and not strong enough to play on our HABS,everybody keeps talking about trading Pleks,Price is a waste of space,Patches is too soft. We are proud of our players playing on their respective country teams but not proud of them playing on our HABS,we have the potential to have 7 players at the olympics and if Denmark had made it 8. I am proud of our guys playing for their countries and for the HABS man I love our team. GO HABS GO :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Marky and Emelin invited to the Russian camp. No surprise to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Surprised Ward wasn't invited. Maybe cause he's injured. But Emelin is injured too and he got invited, and Eric Staal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't even noticed that, but you're right. Especially when including a guy like, say, Holtby, you'd think that Ward would be a shoe-in to at least get a nod.

BigTed3 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I hadn't even noticed that, but you're right. Especially when including a guy like, say, Holtby, you'd think that Ward would be a shoe-in to at least get a nod. No Ward, no MAF, no Brodeur... those are all guys you could have at least made an argument for taking over Price based on experience. Luongo has to be a shoe-in in goal now, being the only guy with real Olympic experience already. But you'd have to think Price has good odds at beating out two of Smith, Holtby, and Crawford. Subban probably has decent odds on the blue line as well, with the wild card being how many lefties and righties they decide to go with. To me, the locks on defence are Weber, Keith, and Doughty in that order. After that, it's anyone's guess who emerges from the pack. I'd take Subban after that top 3, but if the team decides to go with Pietrangelo (Hitchcock is a coach), Seabrook or Boyle (Olympic experience), or Phaneuf or Bouwmeester (left-handed shots), then Subban may be left out, even if he's clearly one of the top 6 guys invited.

I would think that Crawford (PO experience) has the inside track after Lou, with the 3rd slot open. Dion ? I would hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Weber is not a Hab anymore.
