team kick ass

Team Canada is set to announce its roster for the 2010 Winter Olympics on December 31st. Final rosters don't have to be submitted until February 13th, so in the event of an injury or God knows what, changes can be made.

Here’s what I think the team should look like…

Nash Crosby Iginla
Marleau Thornton Heatley
Stamkos Getzlaf Staal
Carter Richards Toews

St.Louis Sharp Roy


Out: Perry, Lecavalier, Spezza, Smyth, Tavares, Morrow, Penner, Cammalleri, Doan, Horton, Fisher, Briere, Gagne, Perron, J Staal (damn this could be a good team too eh?)


Backend
Pronger Niedermayer
Boyle Bouwmeester
Keith Seabrook
Weber Doughty

Out: Green, Phaneuf, Reghere, White, Campbell, Barker, Beauchemin, Marc Staal, Letang

Goal
Brodeur… 2.05GAA, .925 Sv% best season out of the big 3.
Luongo 2.56GAA, .910 sv%
Fleury 2.54 GAA .903 sv%

What do you think?

simple math.

Current record 5-11-7. So the Leafs have 17 points in 23 games. 59 games to go. 118 points available. Our chances of making the playoffs are about 1.3% last I heard. But we still need about 78 points of 118 to get to 95 points and a reasonable chance at going to the show. Meaning we need a winning percentage of about .661. The way I see it, if we win one game, then lose 2 in overtime for the rest of the season we can get there! I've figured out a way we can lose more games than win and still make the playoffs. If we go 24-5-30, we'll have basically won only 29 games, and lost 53 but we'll end up with a final record of 29-16-37 = 95 points. PLAYOFFS. and of course STANLEY CUP.

Hagman, better than Tanguay.

Leaf fans have something to be happy about in Niklas Hagman. At 3 million there aren't a lot of wingers who I like as much as him. Compare him to a free agent like Alex Tanguay (2.5 million) for example who all sorts of Leaf fans wanted in this year who has a similiar number of points, but only 4 goals to go with 11 assists. On the other side Hagman has 11 goals and 4 assists... so if I had to choose I would take Hagman!
