tommingthepuck96 1 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Im really intrigued by the depth of team Canada and bored.. Red Marlaeu , Thornton, Carter Lecavalier, Staal, Sharp Smyth, Spezza, Perry Cleary, Roy, Lucic White Heatley, Crosby, Nash St.Louis, Iginla, Morrow Doan, Richards, Gagne Mcdonald, Staal, Toews Just my guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's absolutely brutal defensively. I'd put Cleary with Perry on that third line. Those two would be pretty effective together on the wings. Based on the last couple of seasons, Smyth isn't an upgrade on Cleary anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted August 22, 2009 Looks like Mason's role is mostly honorary, he's going to have a hell of a time outshowing Brodeur & MAF (compared to Luongo & Ward). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted August 22, 2009 Looks like Mason's role is mostly honorary, he's going to have a hell of a time outshowing Brodeur & MAF (compared to Luongo & Ward). MAF is the worst goalie at the camp. Mason can easily out play his terribly inconsistent ass. And for the record I think Ward is an elite goalie based on his consistently steller postseason play.

I doubt team canada will be using the two scoring line, one checking line, and a 4th line of extras forumla like most NHL team do. Besides when has cleary ever been a proven to be center besides on the PP 2 years ago? Plus i liked the idea of a cleary roy, lucic, line for a checking/energy line.. Marleau over Lecavalier? How are these lines determined? Random drawing? It'd make sense to put two guys who been playing together for years on the same line, instead of forcing chemistry between 2 players..
