Chris Neil - Jerome Iginla - Steve Ott... All are gritty enforcers who can put the puck in the net

Pronger - Komisarek

Jason Vorhees/Michael Meyers/Freddie Krueger

The Joker/Magneto/General Zod

Jet Li/Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee

What lineup would I hate for the Wings to play against?

Hmm...how about:

Ovechkin/Thornton/Iginla

Nash/Getzlaf/Jokinen

Smyth/E.Staal/Cole

Frolov/Kopitar/Brown

Chara/Wideman

Bouwmeester/Keith

Weber/Pronger

[ComradeWasabi 109]

Chris Neil - Jerome Iginla - Steve Ott... All are gritty enforcers who can put the puck in the net

Pronger - Komisarek

Emery

Ummm, I would say Iginla is a little more than a gritty enforcer who can put the puck in the net. Most enforcers don't score 50 goals.

Fun thread..mine would look something like this:

Jordin Tootoo-Chris Kunitz-Sean Avery

Steve Ott-Claude Lemieux-Alex Burrows

Matt Cooke-Theoren Fleury-Patrick Kaleta

Jarkko Ruutu-Scott Hartnell-Cal Clutterbuck

Chris Pronger-Brooks Orpik

Dion Phaneuf-Adam Foote

Denis Gauthier-Francois Bauchemin

Ron Hextall

Just looking at that lineup makes me wanna say f*** it,and just take the instigator penalty anyway.

Jesus. That line up would set a single season PIM record, no question.

Except Team Russia.

Expect your defense to be porous. Also expect the political motivation behind placing so many KHL players on the camp roster to be questioned heavily if it results in an equal split of NHL/KHL players on the final roster.

Its the Olympics, there will be other great teams but none like what Team Canada will ice. We could almost ice a competitive team from those cut from the roster and with our almost Olympians..... not to mention its on our turf this year! Good luck to the rest of the World.... try the BC buds while your in town, it might help lessen the fear.

Not really the same. What exactly is Pittsburgh famous for? Fried Zucchini Strips? Detroit more widely known around the world because of things like the auto industry (whether it's good or bad it still resides in Detroit) and other things like Motown music, even if it did move to LA, its fundamentals were born in Detroit. Sure today the outlook isn't so great but there is no way Detroit is as worthless as Pittsburgh. Not even close.

The Economist named Pittsburgh 2009's most livable city in the United States.

I bet most Pittsburghians spend a fair chunk of their day wishing that their city used to be known for building cars instead of used to be known for making steel. Many Pittsburgh tears have certainly been shed over the fact that Motown was founded in (and later fled) Detroit instead of Pittsburgh. I know I certainly wish my city was former hom to Motown. I think about that alot.
