I know this has been out for a while, but here are all the names of players invited to try out for Team Canada for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. We won't know the final roster until around Christmas, but most of these guys look good, especially our goaltending. Martin Brodeur, if he's healthy and not too old, would be great, after all he is the winningest goalie in NHL history. Roberto Luongo is consistent, and has good stats-33 wins, 13 losses, a 2.34 goals against average and a .920 save percentage, and Marc-Andre Fleury makes great saves at key times even is his GAA and SVP could use improving. Not to mention he won the Cup this season. Then there is Cam Ward, a past Conn Smythe trophy winner in 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes (I wanted Edmonton to win, but Ward was great in game 7). Last is Steve Mason, the Calder Trophy winner and nominee for the Vezina Trophy. I think Fleury, Brodeur and Luongo will end up on the final roster, but I have no clue which one will be the starter, the back-up or the spare, although I'd be willing to bet either Fleury or Brodeur get the starting job.
Also, It's pretty funny Eric, Jordan AND Marc Staal all got invited to training camp. I wonder how Jared feels?
