With Team Canada announcing the 46 invitees who will be attending camp in Calgary in late August, yesterday I thought it would be fun to make my version of Team Canada now and then again closer to the Olympics to see how similar they are. Here we go:
FORWARDS(13):
Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins, C
Jarome Iginla, Calgary Flames, RW
Simon Gagne, Philadelphia Flyers, LW
Rick Nash, Columbus Blue Jackets, RW
Mike Richards, Philadelphia Flyers, C
Brendan Morrow, Dallas Stars, RW
Jeff Carter, Philadelphia Flyers, C
Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks, C
Dany Heatley, Ottawa Senators, LW
Vincent Lecavalier, Tampa Bay Lightning, C
Shane Doan, Phoenix Coyotes, RW
Joe Sakic, Colorado Avalanche, C
Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks, C
Touch call on last spot, Eric Staal and Corey Perry were tough choices to leave off. Sakic may still retire, but I think he will come back for one more season and another shot at a gold medal and Heatley may not even be on an NHL team next season after this off-seasons fiasco, so he is questionable right now as well.
Defense(7):
Scott Niedermayer, Anaheim Ducks
Jay Bouwmeester, Calgary Flames
Chris Pronger, Philadelphia Flyers
Robyn Regehr, Calgary Flames
Dion Phaneuf, Calgary Flames
Shea Weber, Nashville Predators
Mike Green, Washington Capitals
Once again tough call on the last spot, I dont think you could go wrong with Green, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook or Drew Doughty. Green makes it as a pure PP specialist.
Goalies(3):
Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils
Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks
Cam Ward, Carolina Hurricanes
Any arguments?
