Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Looking at that list of candidates honestly just makes me feel bad for America going into 2010 Really? I've actually been looking forward to it. If you look at the prospective group, there's alot of youth, speed, skill and size that I think has been missing the past 6-8 years. Guys like Kane, Pominville, Paul Stastny are going to bring alot of skill up front and young legs. IMO, we finally have good young goaltenders as well but its the blueline that I am most excited about. Obviously there are skill guys like Liles and Whitney but there's also alot more size available and more where we used to have some big bodies like Derian Hatcher, who were more one-dimensional, guys like Jack Johnson, Eric Johnson, Suter, etc... can also contribute offensively. Of course Canada is always stacked, always will be. But I like that the old guard are going to be out of the running and it'll be fresh bodies for the next Olympics.

joshy207 156 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Not bad. I do like the youth movement. A young roster like this won't tear up the world in 2010, but it would do wonders for our medal hopes in 2014! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
