scott niedermayer...djavan 02-22-2006, 01:02 AM i've been thinking what canadian defenseman has his similar skills and could've - i say could've because of the iihf replacement rules - been used to replace him... can't really think of anyone... Knucklez 02-22-2006, 01:10 AM I think, out of all the D chosen for TC including the taxi squad, it would be Dan Boyle. He plays a similar style to Nieds. Jazz 02-22-2006, 01:18 AM Yes, the loss of Niedermayer cannot be overestimated....one of the few d-men who can outskate the trap... djavan 02-22-2006, 01:19 AM I think, out of all the D chosen for TC including the taxi squad, it would be Dan Boyle. He plays a similar style to Nieds. good one!!! i totally forgot about him Eddie Vedder 02-22-2006, 01:51 AM Brent Sopel!!!! :handclap: jcpenny 02-22-2006, 01:51 AM i've been thinking what canadian defenseman has his similar skills and could've - i say could've because of the iihf replacement rules - been used to replace him... can't really think of anyone... Boyle, Jovanovski, Derek Morris (when at his best), Boynton, Phillips, Campbell, Brewer ILuvLA 02-22-2006, 02:12 AM Yes, the loss of Niedermayer cannot be overestimated....one of the few d-men who can outskate the trap... Bingo. I think that the Canadians really miss Nieds. Kronblom 02-22-2006, 09:26 AM Yes, the loss of Niedermayer cannot be overestimated....one of the few d-men who can outskate the trap... You mean one of the few defensemen who can skate. Agasthya 02-22-2006, 09:54 AM Seriously guys. Lets not dwell on who isn't in Torino. Lecavilier_4 02-22-2006, 10:06 AM There were 2 mistakes in team Canada. #1 was putting McCabe on the team. #2 was replacing Niedermeyer with Bouwmeester. I think J-Bo should have been on the team, but in McCabe's spot, not Niedermeyer's. Canada really does not have the offensive spark in the back end. Which Dan Boyle could have brought. Boyle is the closest style to Scott you could have found, and they made a mistake with the selections. brendadervin 02-22-2006, 10:06 AM Yeah all that matters is that Aki Berg is there right? :bow: | ||
