Go Canada!!! Some interesting picks, but that's what makes it fun. The Bladerunners are proud of Iginla and Marleau for making the team. Stamkos - your time will come. Congrats of course to the Highlanders who have the most Canadian representation of any FUNHL team.

Surprised by Bergeron and the absence of Calgary D.

Moriarty said...

Think WJC 2005 and Bergeron-Crosby killing the opposition...

Cameron said...

Biggest surprise for me was Weber over Bouwmeester. Bergeron over B.Richards also a surprise.

My lines:

1. Marleau-Crosby-Iginla
2. Nash-Thornton-Heatley
3. Staal-Getzlaf-Perry
4. Morrow-Richards-Toews
Bergeron

Nash re joins Heater and Jumbo Joe from the Worlds team, Marleau and Iggy compliment Crosby with speed and toughness, Staal adds another shooter to Getzlafs wing and the 'checking line' is as good as most NHL top lines.

I think Pronger and Boyle are top pair, then the Chicago boys, then Niedermayer and Weber.

Brodeur will get all but one start.

Think Dion was pissed off, and took it out on LA?

Bladerunner said...

No kidding! And hey, what are the Great Whites pissed off about this week and why take it out on the poor Bladerunners?? ;-)

Moriarty said...

Yay...Dion destroyed Kopitar...maybe he can make Team Canada B

G: Ward, S.Mason, Price

D: Phaneuf, Regehr, Boumeester, Green, Robidas, Campbell, Jovanovski

F: LeCavalier, St. Louis,Stamkos, B.Richards, Doan, J.Staal, Sharp, Carter, Savard, Roy, Pominville, Horton, Weiss

Thoughts? Comments?

G: Ward (To Start)

D-Pairing:
Phaneuf-Regehr
Boumeester-Green
Robidas-Campbell
Jovanovski

F-Combos

St.Louis-LeCavalier-B.Richards
Carter-Stamkos-Sharp
Weiss-Savard-Horton
Doan-J.Staal-Pominville
Roy

Team Canada B isn't that bad.

However, Team Canada A by the Yzerman Brain Trust better win Gold...

Moriarty said...

BTW...on the Official Olympic Team we have 4 repeat Gold Medal winners from the 2002 Olympics.

They are:

Brodeur - G
Iginla - RW
Neidermeyer - D
Pronger - D

There are 5 members of the 2005 WJC Gold Medal Team:

Bergeron
Crosby
Toews
E.Staal
M.Richards

And FINALLY Mario Lemieux Will be Honoured with the Order of Canada!
