Hart should be in here not Kuemper

😂😂😂

Doughty shouldn't be there now, but he qould be because team canada always loves to invite a couple guys who uses to be really good but refuse to acknowledge they arnt anymore

Makar will push his way into the team. Also just because they could do it I’d die to see a McDavid, Crosby MacKinnon line.

I think this is pretty good. I actually think the big media surprise would be doughty over Hamilton. I expect that to happen though. Hockey canada loves doughty and hates dougie

I would have different lines but if I'm only talking about the roster: no Toews, Doughty, Weber, Binnington for me. Spurgeon, Ellis for the two defenseman and Hart in.

Agreed with the rest and it's realistic.

what is wrong with Hart, imo Hart is better than price, although Kuemper could probably make it over Binnington

100% agree

if this was all about skill I would say yeah close.
But this is about winning, and you look at what team USA is going to ice, and it's bigger, grittier and also has a lot of skill. AND you just know it will be coached by Torts or something.
I other words, this can't be the team that goes up against that. You look at that top 12, you got Stone and Scheifele.
Its one thing if you got a team with less skill you can get around the physicality of the game they will bring. It's another when they are physical and they are just as dangerous.
This team wouldn't win. they need to put something together that has a bit more bite.

Remember the world cup when the U.S did exactly what you described. They put together a tough and gritty team to "beat Canada" and they completely failed. It is not smart to sacrifice a skilled player for a slower and tougher one just because you need more grit. Looking at this lineup, who would you sacrifice and who would you add realistically to add more grit.

Hart should be there imo, but for Binnington, not Kuemper. Over the last two years, Kuemper is clearly the top of the heap for Team Canada imo.

that team was no where near what they have now.
they ain't slower with less skill. what part of that don't you get.

Look at that team and read the comments.

Ain't no part of that team "slow and less skilled"

Makar will make it for sure. Today, Hart is debatable rn but by 2022 he could be the best in the league

I know it would force a tough decision or two but I think inviting chemistry to the team gets taken into consideration for that reason I could see nuge getting the invite because him and mcdavid complement each other extremely well. I’d love to see nuge mcdavid stone let’s mcdavid think 100% offence

I said who on team Canada would you add to add more grit and size. And that American team is not much more grittier than this team with the exception of few players. I get what you are saying perfectly well.

It doesn't make any sense when you say that this team would not win because they dont have size or grit, but they've won literally every single other competition they've been in with a same looking team, while the U.S who has had bigger and grittier and skilled players in all those competitions have not. Your argument has zero evidence to back it up.

For sure. Kinda like Kunitz or Sharp kind of deal in 2014. It's 100% a possibility, just tough to do that and sacrifice one of these guys.

they haven't won every single game, and Canada always takes guys who have more push back. Like Weber, Getzlaf, Bouwmeester. Perry, Kunitz, Nash, Carter. I mean come on, they have had way more push back on their rosters in the past. Pronger, Heatly, Staal, Thornton.... I don't know what teams you think they are sending over there, but it's not this crap you have in your head. They have sent a lot of willing to battle it out for the gold. This is not that. At all.

You still haven't even answered my question i asked you at the beginning. Those guys were on the team not because they had push back but because they were good hockey players. The only reason you might think of them as gritty us because of their size. Like I keep asking, tell me who you would have on this team instead, because it seems like the way you answer that you don't even know what it is your talking about. Those gritty guys you have on team U.S.A. are on the team because they are great hockey players. Canada has proved that they do not need grit to win games and medals, so your argument has no substance at all.

The only reason you might think of them as gritty us because of their size.... are you kidding me? Look at that list I gave you, they aren't gritty based on just their size.
And the point is you have to build a complete roster not just a hot rod. They get this. They have done it year after year in the OG. And Canada has never proven you don't need grit to win those games, because every time they go they are bringing it.
At the end of the day it's about who wants it more. You have to be willing to go to those corners and dog fight it out to dig that puck out. They will bring in some more meat that are good players and bring a few less hot rods. Because that's how you win games.

all your doing is saying random stuff that doesn't make sense and you keep completely ignoring my question. Your fighting an argument you have no idea about.

yeah random stuff, clearly, totally random, I mean has nothing to do with the actual rosters they put forward every OG, but ok, random stuff.
No one has ignored anything. Other than your ignoring facts and reality.

You still haven't even answered my question that i asked you from your first comment on the post because you know that your wrong and have no way of giving a good answer. You keep completely ignoring it and talking about other stuff that brings nothing to the argument. Your argument has nothing to back it up and your just saying stuff that makes zero sense. And why are you getting so angry and insulting me? were just having a debate bro chill its not that deep.

no one is insulting you, you lip off, so you get it back. But cry when you can't take it.
My job is not to run around rebuilding your roster.
I am simply pointing out facts for you. At no point has team Canada sent a roster to something like OG like this. Period. The proof is in the pudding but you seem to ignore it.
There were plenty of other more "skilled" guys at the time they built those rosters, but yet they CHOOSE to pick players that create a whole team and can fill all the roles a team needs.
But you keep sitting around trying to insult people with "you don't understand" and "you get angry" blah blah blah blah.
The only angry frustrated one is you.
There will be more grit on any team they take. Period. Take 2 minutes to look at past rosters and you'll figure it out.

Ah, I see now
