If the wings are off my bad

[spyro]

^ those look great! that would be my choice for the lines too

the only surprise that i got was that shanahan didnt make it but canadas roster didnt disappoint at all.. strong in goal, defense and offense.. we gonna rock the international world!

[Tuffcore]

Gagne-Sakic-Iginla is basically the first line by default. I'm pretty sure it will be Nash-Thornton-Heatley on the same line because they dominated in the previous tournaments together. Richards-Lecavalier-St.Louis is a natural fit together. The checking line looks to be Smyth-Draper-Doan. This leaves Bertuzzi as the odd man out. Bertuzzi is not that great a checker so if he's not on a scoring line, then he'll likely be the odd man sitting out.

Of all the D, i think Foote has had a terrible season. He's been injury riddled and his Blue Jackets are playing the worst hockey ever. He'll probably be the 7th man sitting out. The pairings will pretty much work look like Pronger-Neidermayer, Jovanovski-Blake, and Redden-Regehr.

I think we will see 2 of the 3 goalies get a chance to play. Brodeur the top. Turco is second. Luongo will warm the benches.

However you look at it, this is the team to beat.

[jonogunn]

I think kariya should have been on.

[KAME]

man oilers vs canucks... all of us were hyped up .. 6 on 3 =X
boo.

[Chioster]

I think we will see 2 of the 3 goalies get a chance to play. Brodeur the top. Turco is second. Luongo will warm the benches.

I find Luongo the one who will start second since both him and Turco have no Olympic Experience but Luongo has more potential and did you see that game from WSH?!?!? 53 Saves!!

[pami_fizz]

I think kariya should have been on.

hell yes
he was awesome last time at the olympics and it doesn't seem like any of his skills faded or anything

[InSong]

4-3 Flyers =)

I think kariya should have been on.

He's a natural LeftWing and Canada only has three natural LeftWings on the team. Gagne, Nash, and Smyth. The only problem is that Kariya is one dimensional and can only play on the top 2 scoring lines because he has no defensive talents. Gagne and Nash are currently better offensively and will likely be on the top 2 scoring lines. This makes Kariya needless.

Whooot McCabe made Taxi squad
