Blayre Turnbull on the outside noise around Canada at the Olympics A lot of people on the outside who were making comments about our team and our potential, the coaching strategy and roster management, those people don't have any clue what happens inside the locker room or what happens on the bench.

At tonight's game in Place Bell a number of Olympians will be celebrated, including France St-Louis who brought home a silver medal with Canada’s Women’s National Team in 1998, and Julie Chu, who earned three silver medals and one bronze at the Olympics with Team USA.

"Jenner is meticulous in the way she prepares. And that's why in the big moment, she shows up. She's also very versatile. She wins faceoffs. She's can play wing, obviously. She's good on the power play. She's defensively sound. She's a great leader." -- Gina Kingsbury

Troy Ryan mentioned "the work [Spooner's] done behind the scenes to even get herself to this point. People may think that we think we're getting the Spooner of old; we're not and that's okay. She'll play a unique role, and she's setting herself up for success to be able to contribute in that role."

Ahead of Friday's announcement of Canada's roster, here are my choices. I think Zandee-Hart >> Larocque, and although I know this won't happen, I chose Tabin over Sophie Jaques, with defense (not offense) as a priority. If Nurse is still injured, Danielle Serdachny would be next to replace her.
