I see a Getzlaf, Perry, and Kunitz line happening....scary

Kunitz is pretty much on the team because of his chemistry with Crosby. He'll be on that line I think.

 

What is scary is that Getzlaf will probably be the 3rd or 4th line center.

Can't believe Giroux and St. Louis didn't make it meanwhile Marleau and Nash make it. Idk what they're thinking in Canada.

[Tank]

that is one scary good group of forwards. they're going to be a lot of fun to watch and a very tough matchup for opposing teams.

 

i think goaltending is their weak link.

[HaloCory22]

They will score like crazy, but they'll also give up some goals if Luongo is in net. I'd go with Price over him.

[DB24]

Is Stamkos ready?? I though he broke his leg.

[HaloCory22]

It'll be a last minute decision. He is back on the ice skating and doing some drills, but he says there is still a good amount of pain.

[Thomas]

They can still swap Stamkos out if he is still injured which wouldn't be second looked the IOC. Dude broke his leg. Not sure when the cutoff is.

[CanadianHalo]

Kunitz is strictly on the team because of Sid. To think he is on a line with anyone else is silly. Don't think he should be there. Has to be a pretty crappy feeling walking into a locker room knowing you don't belong on a talent level, and if Crosby gets hurt so do you.

St.Louis should have made it IMO. Dude can still fly.

[CanadianHalo]

St. Louis and Bobby Ryan both should be playing for there countries.

Looks like Slovenia is going all out for the gold!
