He almost played too after the starter got run down like Miller Luongo.

Dirty cheapshotting LA players, taking out goalies

Team Canada announced: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=440552

As a casual observer, I would've preferred to see Staal and St. Louis on the squad. But, oh well...



And now, I can't wait for TSN to spend the next bazillion hours debating and talking about who is on and who is off the squad.

Nice of Team Domcha to include Kunitz, I would have like to see James Kneel go as well

Muay-thai-ing the opponents on the head is not part of International Ice Hockey. So, his specialty was not required.

Was Black Label there at the press conference?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, I think if he hadn't done that, he would be there

dom

No Girouix? And Why Smith over Crawford in net? All Crawford did was win a cup.

Not a fan of Marleau on there either. How do you put him on but leave off Thorton?

I was surprised that Smith went ahead of Crawford as well

dom

I wonder about Russian hockey depth after this.

Yumcha

Maybe they like Smith's puck handling abilities and it will be an asset on International ice?

Although, honestly? Who cares about the 3rd goalie...the likelihood of that guy starting is next to nil IMO.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

The 3rd goalie won't play

dom

Lou is old and out of shape and can break down at any minute. Went price shits the bed, he really shits it. I think a 3rd is critical actually.

Yumcha

Well, it should be Martin Jones as the 3rd goalie anyhow.

Why the concern?

Nothing to be concerned about.

Brad Dotey will deliver the goldz again for just as he did last time.

Yeah, I laughed at that too, he'll be a great 4th line role player

Is Shawn suspended from the Olympics too?

Shawn Thorton? Never heard of him

Jeff Carter? I guess.

Me either, still had to make the joke

I think you said the same thing back at the Vancouver Olympics about Brad Dotey too. :wink:

Blues have 10 players from their roster going to the "O".

As much as I hate to admit it (now, they take over as the default #1 hated team for me with the Pink Things gone), they have a good squad.

Moog-Type-S

With 10 players going to the "O", chances are strong for the injury bug to bite.

The press conference was in my basement.

Yumcha

You're telling me...I am not as keen as who makes the squads from the Hawks and they have 10 players suiting up for their countries. Thank goodness Saad and Seabrook were not selected.


Again, don't care who wins gold. It's all about the Cup.

I wonder if Pengoon and premiere cheap shot artist Malkin will smash fellow Pengoon Crosby's dome in their "O" match-up

Once a Pengoon, always a Pengoon, no?

....or do two Pengoons cancel each other out?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

No, but the famous flying elbow of Ovy will definitely be out there
