It'll be interesting to find out how long he'll be out for. I wonder who takes his spot if he's not ready for the Olympics.

Game Day! GO SENS GO!!!

I hear we have a guy on our roster who might be adequate enough a replacement.

Those yahoos on the Team1200 have been wishing for an injury on Team Canada since last week!

Apparently, Martin St. Louis had the best showing of anyone in that orientation camp.

I would put 3 current Lightning players and 1 former Lightning player ahead of Fisher, quite frankly.

Has to be Marty St.Louis IMO, but Fisher or Richards would also be worthy.

Which "Richards"?

isn't bergeron to play on the top line? i highly doubt fisher, having been a fourth line consideration will be thought of as a replacement

Brad. Is there more than one in contention? I'm trying to think of the other ones and can only think of Mike Richards, who I believe already got named, no?

I thought of that as well, but I don't understand why Bergeron would be on a top line for Team Canada. Third line center, fine. Fourth line center, good. Top line winger? Nah.

Still, this is St.Louis' IMO, but I would love Mike Fisher to get in there. However, how good would the time off be for Fish?

Thought I heard somewhere that Jeff Carter was oh so close in making it so my thinking was that it would be him...

Oh yeah...he'd be a fair choice as well, but I would still go with St.Louis personally.

Brad "48 Points in 39 Games" Richards.

50 points. Wow. B.Richards is earning his 7.8 million bucks this year.

As much as I hate to admit it, if it were to fill Bergeron's projected top 6 spot I would put St. Louis and Lecavalier ahead of Fisher. Stamkos doesn't make this team even if 13 forwards go down.

Fisher has to hope for a Richards, Staal, Morrow injury.

Why would you hate to admit that Canada's talent pool is so deep that there are several better options than Mike Fisher to choose from?
