How strong is Team Canada in the World Cup of Hockey?
Well, Claude Giroux, the Flyers' top-line center, is projected to be on Canada's fourth line.
Oh, and Corey Perry, a six-time 30-goal scorer who had 32 tallies for Anaheim last season, may not even crack the lineup.
Yep. Canada is loaded. And favored to win the tournament.
The four centers are expected to be Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf, Chicago's Jonathan Toews, and Giroux or San Jose's Joe Thornton. Giroux or Thornton will play right wing.
Crosby is projected to center Boston stars Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron, while Getzlaf might center John Tavares and Steven Stamkos.
