yea you are lol.SuperMario wroteCOLONAm I the only one that thinks Kunitz should be put on Crosby's line on this team? Kunitz - Crosby - X would make a terrific line. We love making super teams but chemistry should play a big role here considering they'll be playing together all year.
politicians way of saying "I hope they take someone other than Bergeron" lol.Nick wroteCOLONteam Canada is based on years of pedigree though.
I love Lupul, but is he going to displace Eric Staal?
I did not like bergeron last olympics, but admit he was beastly during these past 2 playoffs. Like him at camp, hope they are evaluating lots of options.

It is entirely possible for both Eric Staal and Joffrey Lupul to be on the team, I'm not sure what you are getting at here. In terms of results the past two seasons, which should be the most significant determining factor in making up this team, Joffrey Lupul is absolutely one of Canada's top 25 forwards, and worthy of an invite.Nick wroteCOLONteam Canada is based on years of pedigree though.

shooker wroteCOLONDion over letang and seabrook?
If I made a mistake, it was putting Getzlaf over JT, but that one could go either way.shooker wroteCOLONLupil over JT?
Lucic was one of the most controversial picks I made, but of course you get that one and not Lupul or Phaneuf who have been objectively elite at their positions for multiple seasons now.shooker wroteCOLONI like the Lucic one but I just don't see him making it on the big ice.
Just... stop...SuperMario wroteCOLONAm I the only one that thinks Kunitz should be put on Crosby's line on this team? Kunitz - Crosby - X would make a terrific line. We love making super teams but chemistry should play a big role here considering they'll be playing together all year.
Really like your picks actually, still don't know that I'd bring Lupul and I'd swap the lines a little bit....MSP4LYFE wroteCOLONIf I could make TC with any 20 players it would be:
Steven Stamkos - Sidney Crosby - Rick Nash
Claude Giroux - Jonathan Toews - Eric Staal
Joffrey Lupul - Ryan Getzlaf - Corey Perry
Jordan Staal - Patrice Bergeron - Milan Lucic
Drew Doughty - Shea Weber
Alex Pietrangelo - Duncan Keith
P.K. Subban - Dion Phaneuf
Carey Price
Roberto Luongo
Taxi Squad: Cam Ward, Jason Spezza and Kris Letang
What has Rick Nash done to warrant being a lock? And where is MSL on your list?Nick wroteCOLONI mean, if Drouin is frigging magic i hope they consider him. If Kadri is leading the league in scoring and has a 60% FO i hope they take him.
I hope they do not over-weigh current stats, or past play, but actually focus on the current play.
With that said, some guys are safe:
Sid, Stammers, Toews, Giroux, & nash. Bergeron likely just outside the super safe group.
No I get that because Lucic is a very unique player. He is the epitome of his type of player, neither Dion nor Joffrey can say the same thing. There are better options for both Lupul and Phaneuf given their skill sets and what they bring to the table. assuming team Canada wants a player like Lucic, there is no better alternative. That is why I understand that pick lol.MSP4LYFE wroteCOLONLucic was one of the most controversial picks I made, but of course you get that one and not Lupul or Phaneuf who have been objectively elite at their positions for multiple seasons now.
Lupul is more than likely not going to make the cut, but on numbers alone he deserves to be there as much as anyone. He has been a catalyst for the Leafs, and produced more than a ppg in the past two years, only: Stamkos, Giroux, and MSL can say the same.Sensfanjosh wroteCOLONReally like your picks actually, still don't know that I'd bring Lupul and I'd swap the lines a little bit....MSP4LYFE wroteCOLONIf I could make TC with any 20 players it would be:

Its nice having to make these choices as a Canadian haha.
Phaneuf is the best open ice hitter in the NHL, and who needs unique abilities when you have more ppg over the past two seasons than any winger not named MSL?shooker wroteCOLONNo I get that because Lucic is a very unique player.

Not everything I say is based of an anti leaf sentiment ya know.
100% agree.shooker wroteCOLONKareem you are right about MSL. I totally forgot him on there, he just won an Art Ross, I think he is as much of a lock as anyone.
I also agree with Rick Nash Kareem. Deserves an invite not doubt, probably makes the team yes, but I wouldn't be upset if he were left off the team either.
