GM's Gregger and Watson pick their Team Canada's 2010
Yes just less than 1 year from the Olympics and if you're like me and my friends, we sit around and debate who should be on the team constantly. (Pierre Mcguire had his like teased and touted for a week on TSN and it was such a letdown! Doan and Morrow on the team? No offense, I know he's a Saskatchewan kid, but I wouldnt have either of those stone hands on my team as stick boys! Go with the talent!!!!!) But yes every Tom, Dick and Harry has a team and has an opinion. Well here is Watson's and I's Team Canada's.
TEAM GREGGER
Goalies
1)Luongo, 2)Brodeur, 3)Brodeur or Luongo (screw the 3rd goalie I say!)
Defence
Green / Phaneuf
Bouwmeester / Boyle
Niedermayer / Campbell
Jovanovski
Forwards
Crosby - Lecavlier - Iginla
Getzlaf - Thornton - Nash
Heatly - M.Richards - Bergeron
J.Carter - Marleau - Toews
Gagne
TEAM WATSON
Goalies
1)Luongo, 2)Brodeur, 3)Ward

Carter - Toews - Heatly
Doan - Marleau - Savard
Gagne
So as you can see we got some similar names. The big things for me is that look at all the guys we didnt use! St. Louis, Staal, Smyth, Spezza, Perry, Bertuzzi, Richards, Sakic, Andre Fleury, Regher, Burns, Souray. We could seriously ice a "Canada 2" team and I bet they would medal as well!
Cheers, gregger@rock102rocks.com
Goalie
Marty Turco will there for sure... quote my words.. Fantastic go to guy when the pressure is on. Look at his playoff run last year a make or break guy that will be wearing team Canada's jersey not Brodeur.... When's the last time he stopped a puck.
Idiot
Broduer over Turco anyday ... Turco has one good playoff that didn't result in a stanley cup victory.
Broduer should be the man if not Luongo
Carey Price
will not be on that team. He'll be too busy playing in the AHL at the time the Olympic team is picked.
Think I am kidding ? Just wait.
Carey Price will never amount to anything even close to Patrick Roy or Kenny Dryden.
I'd say the better pick would be Steve Mason or Marty Turco.
My Picks
You guys have a ton of talent on your roster, but keep in mind you need players can kill penalties which is why Morrow/Doan/M.Richards will be there. No Marc Savard? you guys need to quit sniffing that jock strap Watson wore when he lost the bet. No way Toews makes it either. He is good, but he can't win a faceoff.
Broduer
Luongo
Price
Phanuef -Weber
Green-Boyle
Campbell-Niedermeyer
Souray
Crosby - Lecavalier - Iggy
Getzlaf-Thornton-Nash
Morrow-Richards-Doan
Gagne-Savard-Heater
Staal
Thanks,
R.B.
Not Bad.
I agree with Gregger for the most part.. maybe scrap Jovanovski for Reagher or Burnsy. I've been likin' the looks of Cammelerri this year too. Time will tell I guess..
ARE YOU KIDDING ME WATSON!!!!!!!!!
Both of your teams are pretty good, but Watson. PRONGER is the worst d-man out there. He's slow and just terrible. Give your head a shake. Souray is a way better pick.
SHELDON SOURAY ?
Must be a GD oiler fan !!
