2014 Team Canada Final Roster Predictions

[doctajones428]

With the announcement coming in two days of who will represent our country in Sochi, I figured a thread of everyone's final roster predictions would be good to pass the time.

EDIT: Roster updated to have 14 forwards and 8 defenseman

My final roster:

Sidney Crosby
Jonathan Toews
Claude Giroux
Martin St. Louis
Steven Stamkos
John Tavares
Ryan Getzlaf
Corey Perry
Patrice Bergeron
Joe Thornton
Logan Couture
Patrick Marleau
Jamie Benn
Matt Duchene

Duncan Keith
Shea Weber
Drew Doughty
Alex Pietrangelo
Brent Seabrook
Jay Bouwmeester
Dan Boyle
Marc-Edouard Vlasic

Roberto Luongo
Carey Price
Corey Crawford

[AC]

They name 14 forwards and 8 defencemen.

You have Stamkos or Kunitz.

Yikes that is a lot of Sharks!

You can't win hockey gold in Canada with Crosby unless Iginla is passing to him . . . Proven fact.

Not true, you can win it with Sakic passing to Iginla too.

Or are we just talking about on Canada soil?

**Sorry if I put someone twice or didn't put enough forwards/d-men. Tired today. But I say St. Louis deserves to go.

[d_phaneuf]

McKenzie gave his team today, based on what he is hearing

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
I'm going to make educated guesses on CDN Olympic team roster. Not who I think should be there, simply who I think will be named. Here goes:

Goal: Price, Luongo, Smith.
LD: Keith, Bouwmeester, Vlasic, Hamhuis.
RD: Doughty, Weber, Pietrangelo, Subban.

C: Crosby, Toews, Tavares, Getzlaf, Bergeron.
LW: Couture, Benn, Duchene, Sharp.
RW: Stamkos, Giroux, Nash, Perry, St. Louis.

[saillias]

I'll just go with McKenzie's list... Looks right to me. Although Smith, Hamhuis and Nash can stay home.

[codynw]

Forward
Benn, Bergeron, Crosby, Duchene, Getzlaf, Giroux, Kunitz, Perry, Sharp, St. Louis, Stamkos, Tavares, Thornton, Toews

Defence
Bouwmeester, Doughty, Giordano, Keith, Pietrangelo, Subban, Vlasic, Weber

Goal
Price, Luongo, Fleury

[codynw]

Nash isn't even having a good year, is he?

[cam_wmh]

Mine:
Tavares - Crosby - Giroux
Duchesne - Stamkos - St. Louis
EStaal - Getzlaf - Perry
Benn - Toews - Bergeron
---- MRichards - Thornton

Subban - Giordano

Luongo
Price
Crawford

Stamkos was at cowboys following the game on Friday. hHe didn't have a leg cast on. So I assume he should be ready to go.

[Tinordi]

I hope hockey Canada gets over itself and picks St. Louis.

[cam_wmh]

Bob's list, has

Nash, Sharp, Couture, Vlasic as the contentious picks.

I'll look past my homerism with Gio, and say Nash over Mike Richards versatility is a mistake.

[dino7c]

no Oilers, that's my list

He's been skating for a few weeks now and has been traveling with the Lightning on this road trip, even participated in their practices (with a no contact jersey). He should be ready in time.

so is there a set time the roster is being released or could it be anytime tomorrow..?
