Freak By Night Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Good. Now Lemieux has to do the right thing and make way for some young guns.Both Yzerman and Lemieux have had their time on the world hockey stage, time to pass the torch.

dave-O Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I was about to say the exact same thing. What's the chance that Lemieux will step aside, and without the moronic condition that he's "giving his spot to Crosby"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 The staff has a big decision on Nash's status too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Boo Nash... he's not playing this time around, he's been a bandaid this year. Spezza's play has filled the last spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberdinghy Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 who's Crosby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Crosby ahead of Spezza or Staal? Not this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Spezza and Staal deserve to be there. Crosby doesn't, at the moment.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Here are my lines if I was coaching the Olympic team:Gagne Spezza Heatley : The GaSH line.Shannahan Thorton Iginla : No Stopping this left wing lock...Richards Lecaviller St Louis: Stanley Cup ChemestryTanguay Sakic Crosby: Now doesn't this look nice?extra: StaalRedden HannanBlake McCabeJovonovski Niedermayerx: BoyleBroduerJosephEmery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Once again, Yzerman shows a lot of class.Class or he just doesn't want to look like a gimp on the world stage?Class would have been him not whining about the rule changes like every other dinosaur in the NHL.

AD Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I like your team Will... ballsy putting Emery in there though. I'd love to see him on the team but I think he needs more experience than 9 NHL games...AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Nice looking team Will, probably close to the actual one (of course with Luongo, not Emery).BUT, if the rules are called anything close to the way they are in the NHL this year, you're going to need penalty kill specialists. Insert Kris Draper here. Which may cost Speeza his spot, because Canada is so loaded at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thinking about it for another minute, I'll be surprised if Pronger, Regehr (or Phaneuf) and Ryan Smyth don't make this team. Smyth for international experience alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 good team but tanguay shouldnt be there. He isnt having a great year. Ive seen pretty much all the avs game and he isnt playing like he usaully does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Agreed, Tanguay won't be making this team. And I'd guess Bertuzzi's performance hasn't been good enough this year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Bertuzzi is coming on after a really, really slow start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Good. Now Lemieux has to do the right thing and make way for some young guns. He already said he wasnt going to play, for that exact reason. Said he didnt feel he would be effective. My opinion, he could play in a wheel chair and still set up the prettiest plays of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 He already said he wasnt going to play, for that exact reason. Said he didnt feel he would be effective.No he didn't. He hinted at it, but hasn't said definitively yet.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Staal only goes if Lemieux drops out.Not 100% sure who's going to be there but it will be one hell of a team regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Interesting stat I read somewhere today: It's been 29 years since a Maple Leaf player has represented Canada at the Canada / World Cup or Olympics.Further proof that the Leafs do indeed suck.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
