Re: Team Canada...Biggest Snubs?
since the tourney allowed for some unique teams (north america ''kid team'') , team europe etc...they should have allowed Canada to enter 3 teams .

Re: Team Canada...Biggest Snubs?
Disagree, Subban (and Letang) should be in front of Pietrangelo and Weber on the depth chart for the right side.
Giordano is also a huge omission, can't believe they chose Muzzin over him.

Re: Team Canada...Biggest Snubs?
I guess I have to take this comment back. Couture is no longer the biggest snub for team Canada. This is another dagger into the hearts of those people who think Taylor Hall one of the best LWers in the NHL. Team Canada is replacing Benn, a LWer, with Logan Couture who's a natural center.
Re: Team Canada...Biggest Snubs?
Couture is another C, but he does play a fair bit of LW with SJ. Nothing wrong with having another C option too. Plus Couture is likely a little more of an all around player than Hall, so I am glad he got the spot.

Re: Team Canada...Biggest Snubs?
give subban a full year in nashville to learn how to actually play D and he'll make future canada teams. there's just no reason to include him over the likes of pietrangelo etc who are better defensively. they already have keith, weber etc who can run the powerplay just as good.
Re: Team Canada...Biggest Snubs?
Subban, Letang and Gio were all just passed over again... Damn

Bouwmeester > Subban, as we have all long suspected.
