Team Canada roster -- Fisher got jobbed

PKC wrote:Is Bergeron the worst selection ever for this team?

Absolutely not... He's a great two way player with excellent vision... Very good on the face-off and he's playing very well.

Your proposal is to scratch the leagues highest scorer

I would have liked to see Fisher instead of Richards. Fisher is one of three Canadians taht are in the top ten for blocked shots and hits. Richards is having an off year, I don't see why he made that team over Fisher.

Looks pretty good, I would have chosen some different guys though for some areas. I'm sorry, but Staal is aweful this year, I don't think he should have made the team. Morrow? I haven't heard much about him this year, has he been playing well?

Really... I like it.... I never expected Fisher to really have a chance... Im happy witht his lineup...

You're happy with Bergeron, Morrow, Marleau and Staal?

So they took 12 centers and put them all on the same team?

Bergeron may not last the length of the tournament... wait till he gets rocked.

Morrow is a great winger. The guy is solid at both ends. I'd take Bergeron off though.

The easy choices:
Nash
Crosby
Iginla
Heatley
Thorthon
Marleau
Getzlaf

The tough choice, but good ones:
Perry
Morrow
M.Richards
Toews

The really tough choices that I don't personally agree with
Bergeron - should have been Fisher
E.Staal - should have been Martin St.Louis

Some odd choices here for sure...

Not happy with Bergeron or Staal, but I'm good with Morrow and Marleau. Don't really understand how Bergeron and Staal beat out Fisher and St.Louis. Very strange.

Even if they kept Staal in there and replaced Bergeron with St.Louis I'd be happier. Oh well, still pretty dang solid.

Perhaps Thornton, Marleau, Staal (minus his december), and the 'retired' Niedermeyer are a starting point...

eh... Staal is a good player, maybe great player... stuck on a bad team. Think they might have found out he is not a center, as he will likely play wing for Carolina from now on.

Over the last few years, I'd say Perry has been a better player than Marleau.

I don't like Marleau, Morrow, Staal and Bergeron on this team.
And I only dislike Staal because of the year he's having. The other three...yikes.

St. Louis is fantastic, but Staal single-hnadedly carried the Canes (a team that had no business whatsoever being there) to the ECF last season. That, I'm sure, had as much to do with it as anything. You can count on him (not that you can't count on St.Louis...) in the clutch. I have no problem with that selection.

Bergeron...well, we'll see.

I explained why i like Bergeron, Marleau is playing great this year, Morrow is a great gritty player who can score and Staal I agree hasnt been playing very good but has turned it around since being back.... I dont know if I would have picked Fisher or Lecavalier or St-Louis or Carter... I like the mix of the team...

Don't forget that there will be injuries. He's not out of it yet.
