Jiji Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Still weird to see a Slovakian team without Demo. I woke up at 7:30 expecting to read the rosters and of course I see a bunch of lame-o talking heads going on about PK Subban. Fucking TSN turning everything into an event.

Charlie M. Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Finland's defense is pretty bad when you see it on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 For those that mistakenly think Russia is awesome, I'm seeing reports that apparently Anton Belov made the team. He's possiblly the laziest defenseman on the Edmonton Oilers. Let that sink in for a minute. They're going to score a ton, but their defense is going to be fucking horrible.

This whole presentation needs to shut up and put a graphic up of the team. fuuuuuuuuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 No Claude Giroux, or Martin St. Louis. Well... okay then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yzerman selfishly leaves St. Louis off because he wants him rested for a playoff run! But really someone's going to have to step in once they admit Stamkos can't play. I'd guess Giroux. This is his punishment for being a dumb shit.

The Man Known as Dan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Not sure about the forward selections, but any disagreements I have are minor. Got the D right: not the species group, but no weakness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well, there's no reason not to name Stamkos. If he can't play, you replace him at the last minute, it's no big deal really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yzerman is clearly uncomfortable about the whole Martin St. Louis thing on TSN, not that you can blame him. He knew this was coming but this is a bit hard to watch him get grilled on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I didn't really expect Joe Thornton to make the team, but since he was my favorite player to watch growing up it still breaks my heart alittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Chris Cuthbert proposes the following ridiculous scenario: Team Canada 2 Forwards Hall Giroux St.Louis Couture Thornton Burns Skinner Staal Neal Lucic Seguin Iginla Richards Vermette Defence Campbell Seabrook Giordano Phaneuf Beauchemin Letang Boychuck Boyle Goal Crawford Fleury Harding Honestly, anyone can pick a good Team Canada.
