Motherf******!!!

Hertl already out indefinitely, now Couture out a month with a hand injury.

Couture may have just opened up a spot on Canada

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Probably. Hopefully for Jumbo. Only leads the world in assists and no one talks about him.

Jumbo ain't making Canada

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

^this is what I'm talking about.

He doesn't deserve it. There are many more competent centers above him. He's not even a bubble player on anybody's radar outside of California.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

C: Crosby, Toews, Tavares, Getzlaf, Bergeron.

Bob McKenzie's predictions for Canada centers. Thornton is just from the wrong country. he deserves to be there over none of them.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Now if Couture is out, I think Marleau or Kunitz will replace him.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Well when you put it that way...maybe Getzlaf.

But re: Couture, the prediction is 3-4 weeks. The Olympics are a month away. He could still be on the team, but they'd be gambling that he'd be healthy. And as a Sharks fan I'd rather him take the time off and be totally ready when the NHL resumes anyway.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Dude......I'm sorry but......no. Not even close.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

there isn't a world where Thornton is considered. Sorry.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'm guessing Jeff Carter replacing Couture. Just a hunch. Maybe Eric Staal. Maybe Marleau.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Couture will likely still get named to the team today, and then replaced closer to the tourney if need be.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Thinking about an article I read today, speed is going to be important with the larger ice surface and Joe doesn't have that. So while he's having a good year that could hurt him.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

What I was thinking

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

@TSNBobMcKenzie TSN's latest projections: Claude Giroux out and Jeff Carter in on RW; Chris Kunitz in and Logan Couture out on LW


Don't like this. I prefer them name Couture, and replace him later if need be.

@DownGoesBrown: Proposed rule for today: You can't be outraged about someone being left off Team Canada unless you also name the player they should replace.

Agreed.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Oh man, if you guys thought Ryan-gate was something....just wait another 30min. This country is going to explode due to all sorts of emotions. It's like election day up here, only bigger.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Names starting to leak now too. Duchene is in.

When Kunitz doesn't make it people will explode. Also Subban.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I think there might be more uproar is Kunitz does make it. Very polarizing at the moment. As for Subban, he's gotta be on the team...

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah, I agree that I'm probably in the minority of people thinking Kunitz should be on the team.

LeBrun saying Subban WILL be on the team. Not particularly surprising, but disappointing.

Seabrook won't be on the team. Calling it.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Respectfully disagree. Glad he's made it. I don't think he'll play enough minutes to expose his flaws.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'll take your respectful disagreement and raise you another respectful disagreement. :)

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Touche .


Are you watching this? So painfully long and brutal. Enough with the speeches.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I think more people will explode if Kunitz does make it.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Stevie Y at the podium. A speech, and then the team.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Brutal. Great Tweet from LeBrun:

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 9m Marcel Aubut - 2 min penalty for delay of game.
