Surprised to see Giroux left off of a few line ups on this page, yet was selected nearly 80% of the time in the main voting. He is a must... he started slow, but has quickly trended upwards. Ladd/Lucic/Marchand are all solid players, but Canada just has too many superior players to put them on the team. Came down to Benn vs. Neal vs. Couture to me... went with Couture.
Just say no to Staal, Thornton, Nash and Marleau this time around!

I picked Giroux in the poll because his skill is undeniable, however, he's not a prominent player on my team canada roster.
Great fill-in player should injury strike but not one of Canada's top forwards.
If St. Louis is injured, Giroux is a great fill-in.
If Stamkos is injured, I'm not sure if the case is as strong for St. Louis, which means having Giroux on the taxi squad is more valuable.
