Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Pitkanen should be the #3 defenseman on that team behind Nick and Nik, replacing Hedman on the roster. The pairings should be: Lidstrom/Enstrom Kronwall/Pitkanen Ohlund/Edler Timonen As far as Kipper...Lundqvist and Backstrom would be my top two as they have been top five goalies every year the past few years. I don't know if I'd even put Kipper on my version on Team Scandinavia if not for his sudden resurgence this season. He has been terrible the past couple seasons, and there are guys like Rask, Niittymaki, and Rinne who have been pretty damn good in competition for that third spot, although Kipper has been the best of the bunch and has the experience advantage. Well, if you look only the past 5 years Kiprusoff still has big edge over Rask, Niittymaki and Rinne. Backstrom would be the number one then, as he's been the best statistically in that time.
