OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!! This has got to be the worst thing that's ever happened!
Seriously, if you don't understand why they might be looking at him, then you must've really been upset when Draper, Maltby, Peca, etc. made previous Team Canada squads.
If Horcoff was playing at the same offensive level as his all star year, he would be a fantastic choice. A PPG player who's great on defense and the draw? When he was at that level I suggested a line of Morrow Horcoff and Doan. One of Doan or Morrow would have to play on their wrong side though. That line would be a hell of a line to play against.
But now, Horcoff just isn't at that level offensively. Canada need players who can check but at the same time be able to put the other team away with a goal or two. Richards and Morrow would be good choices.
So I understand the logic of them watching him. I suppose it says more about what the league thinks about him rather than grumpy fans.
Horcoff is a damn good hockey player, and could be extremely effective in the 3rd or 4th line center slot - why is this surprising? Plus he might rediscover his scoring touch, you never know. He won't make it barring incredible injuries to all the centers ahead of him, but he deserves to be watched. Souray too.

Doan spent most of his career at RW, so Morrow/Doan could still be 2/3 of a solid checking line regardless of who the center is.
It's funny the amount of people that are justifying this instead of clicking on the link. The fact that people can actually entertain the thought that this is not a joke and don't need to click it, is actually just as funny as the link.

This thread had Rick Roll all over it as soon as I saw the title. Sometimes its nice to play along to try and get some of the more extreme responses and not point it out at post 8.

Well a pretty smart hockey mind in MacT, who has forgotten more about the game then most of us will ever know, thinks Horcoff deserves consideration.

Fake links lost their humour about a half a year ago.
