I'm surprised to see Eric Staal and Patrice Bergeron on the roster and that Vincent Lecavalier is not there. What are your thoughts on the roster?

Lets give Steveie Y and the crew the benefit of the doubt for choosing the team of their vision. we all know that with injuries, there will be changes. As well , the alternates haven't been named yet.
Bergeron and Staal surprise me. After that, I'm OK with the selections. They will be crying in Calgary that none of their defencemen made it. I might have gone with Bouwmeester ahead of Keith, but Phaneuf and Regehr didn't deserve it.

I'm OK with this! I'll give Stevie Y and crew a thumbs up. Of course that could change in a heartbeat.
Morrow is junk! I can't believe he made the team, walking band-aid.

I'll give you credit Mitch, you had Doughty and Morrow on your team and I didn't think there was a hope in hell of either those guys getting there. I'm a big Mike Green fan so I'm disappointed he isn't there. Maybe if there is an injury he can get there.
Lookiing at the roster, a BIT suprized that Doughty was taken over Bouwmeester, but considering their skill sets, it's a crap shoot.
Suprized, but not surprized by the "team lines" that were chosen (Marleau, Thorton, Heatley; Keith and Seabrooke; Getzlaff and Perry) the obvious reason is so little time to gel. Interesting that McGuire or McKenzie mentioned that FIVE of these players played in the 2005 WJ in Grand Forks, and TWO since then (Toews and Doughty). Nice to see a few wiley vets mixed in with the fiesty pups. Can you see Pronger and Weber bashing ...that will be sick!!
