If these guys show up to play and play to their potential we are a shoe in. One caveat...they have to WANT THE GOLD BAD. Otherwise you just have a bunch of 2010 Ovechkins skating around waving to their fans.

Bit of a stretch there don't you think pickrel? Best playmaker ever? Nice try.
Great player, just not the Great One that is for sure.

Carter, Nash, and Duchene are weird inclusions. Kunitz as well, the lucky bastard. I would have liked to see Thorton and St. Louis included waaay ahead of these guys.
Cant stand that Bouwmeester either. What a wiener.

Hockey Canada not serious ...
Including players that have had long recoveries from debilitating
Injuries like concussion ,is somewhat suspect ....
I hope for the best ,but a couple of injuries and were done ....
For instance including Kunitz cause he plays well with Sid the kid ...
Fantasy .....We will see what the great minds have to say ....Don Cherry
Bob Mckenzie ,
I agree about Thorton , and really I don't like the guy .....but he can play .
We need more muckers .

Nash is an animal in the open ice. Bigger rink will mean more opportunity for him.
Take carter off for Marleau, duchene off for Giroux, and Kunitz for Thornton. Also Seabrook instead of Vlasic.

I thought Mike Smith is a good pick. Brings lots of international experience, a big body, could be a game changer. And Benn is a good pick too. Tavares is gonna light em up.

In the past come playoff time......yes.... Not so last couple playoff seasons.....he has put up great playoff games last while. Theres a reason why he only has 5 goals this season yet still 5th in the points race.
