NHL.com talks Team Canada with Steve Yzerman

NHL.com spoke with Steve Yzerman, Team Canada's Executive Director for the 2010 Winter Olympics, about the orientation camp kicking off in Calgary on Monday.

NHL.com: The assumption is the style Canada will play in these games will closely resemble the style the Red Wings play. Is it wrong to assume that, or is it pretty accurate?

Yzerman: "Well, Mike Babcock coaches the Red Wings and he's going to coach this team so the things he's been successful with his teams, and I mean all the teams he's coached -- he's brought a lot of his ideas from one job to the next and the things he's been successful with he's stuck with -- some will be incorporated into the Olympic team. Not all, but some. You play a certain way based on the personnel you have and we're going to have a strong offensive team and good puck-moving defenseman. We're not molding this after the Detroit Red Wings, but he's going to apply some of the things that made the Detroit Red Wings successful."

Speaking of NHL.com, their newly designed fan section will feature posts from SBN blogs like Winging It In Motown. If we see a FanPost written by one of our great WIM readers and promote it to the front page of the blog, you will have a shot at seeing your work linked to from this fan portal. So please keep posting away in the FanPost section!

Stevie & the NHL

Olympic hockey is different as night and day to the NHL. It’s not like the old days when the pros didn’t play. Babs will have to pullout all the stops & hope all the egos are focused on gold. Treating those other men like Red Wings would be a mistake. Babs has wanted this to long ,an thought about how he would make it happen. His mark will be there not the Red Wings. Well , thats how I see it.
