ForumGhost Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I love Cammy and I think he has the chops to at least make a run at it in training camp, but I think his lack of reputation is to blame. That being said, I think he would be on the bubble at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I dont think Team Canada is even considering Cammy. :puke: I saw stats on the top Canadian goal scorers for the calender year of 2009 last week and Cammy was in the top 6. Cammy was in a 3 way tie with Stamkos and Marleau. None of the 3 are on the team. Apparently they are now considering taking Stamkos.

ForumGhost Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 As they should. Stamkos has been one of the best players this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsy Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Our country could ice two teams, and they'd both have a chance. Rest up Mike, and try to get us into the playoffs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 It pisses me off, its just stupid. I'm certain Sweden is sending its top 6 scorers in 2009, same with Russia, Czechs, etc. All of the countries will be sending their best players, well except the host country, Canada. wtf. :puke: I dont remember who the top 3 Canadian goal scorers were in 2009 calender year but 1 was Iginla and I beleive the other 2 were Heatley and Nash. Stamkos, Cammy, and Marleau were in a 3 way tie (4th, 5th, 6th) Canada is taking only 3 of its top 6 scorers in 2009. Utterly brilliant. I almost wish the list showed the top 10, but it would probably be more stupidity. I wouldnt be surprised if theres only 4 in the top 10 going. tbh Canada could probably send 3 teams and all 3 be competitive. Ironically I think it would be better. For some reason we always seem to send the wrong people and leave a lot of better players off the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both are playing tonight for MoDo in sweden, Forsberg has 1 goal and 1 assist so far, Näslund 1 assist. Just hoping for Forsberg to stay healthy and get into real gameshape and I will love our team for the olympics. About Canada having two teams... why not? Since a country can have several swimmers, runners, skiers and stuff, why not have several competetive hockeyteams as well? Would be fun. Or split canada into one frankophone team and one ontario team and one western canada team. Edited November 28, 2009 by Dalhabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would francophone ontarians or western francophones be allowed on the french team. How would eligibilty be determined. Makes my head hurt.

Fanpuck33 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've got a lot of respect for Naslund and Forsberg. Both are playing for free, just because they love the game and the local team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naslund wasn't on Sweden's long list of players that they had to send to the IOC/IIHF in preperation for the Olympics. Forsberg is, though. So Forsberg could be at the Olympics, but Naslund can not be. Marleau is getting considered for Team Canada. He was at the orientation camp. Stamkos and Cammalleri obviously weren't, and now Stamkos is getting consideration. Marleau-Thornton-Heatley is a ready made line that Team Canada is considering sending. Those 3 even practiced together at the summer camp in Calgary, as if Babcock knew something about where Heatley was going to end up. Cammalleri should've been invited, but if Marc Savard didn't it's hard to argue too hard for Cammalleri's appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 How's this for an interview: (not Olympic related, but wow) http://www.gazblogs.com/habsinsideout-file...0cammalleri.MP3 I know people think that Markov's lack of a good quote are a knock against his captaincy, but as long as the Habs have Cammalleri, Gionta, Gorges and Lapierre I think that Markov won't need to step up media wise if he's named the captain. Cammalleri is filling the old Souray/Rivet role with the media in spades. Plus, he's an on ice star who could be Montreal's first 40 goal scorer since Damphousse.

Habsfan Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm glad Cammy won't be able to play in the Olympics. It'll mean there aren't any chances he gets injured! If we lose Cammy, we won't score any goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I don't want any habs to play in the damned Olympics. They will be exhausted enough and beat-up enough by the desperate battle to claim one of the two available playoff spots without that. Cam's non-invitation is a symptom of the strange lack of respect he receives. It's funny how that goes; some star-quality players are just consisently dismissed, perhaps because of the market they play in, or their size, or maybe because theyhave yet to make their mark in the playoffs. It's odd. Markov gets the same neglectful treatment to a lesser extent. I recall for years Danny Briere was ignored as well. And all I can say is that if Cammalleri was 6'2 with exactly the same game and exactly the same numbers he would probably be universally recognized as a major NHL threat. The guy is a 40-goal scorer fer chrissakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot seemed to disagree, getting all high and mighty about playing for one's country. Or how it's better hockey, who wouldn't want to see the best of the best? I'm with you on this, we've had enough injuries. Edited December 16, 2009 by Habsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
