Scheifele has been putting up the points to help his case to make the Olympic team. Do you think he has a legitimate chance? If he is able to play RW, his odds go up. Do you think he could?

  1. This picture of him is awful lmao but yes he should be making it, if not he is snubbed again

  2. Considering he should have been on the four nations team…..
    Yes…. Yes he will be at the Olympics.

  3. He’s legitimately a top 25 player in the league over the last couple of years.

    For Team Canada, logic, and sentiment: yes

    Best for the Jets: no

  4. He absolutely deserves to. I’d be shocked if he didn’t with how he’s been playing. Hes literally leading the league in points

  5. Yes he has a legit chance, but would probably be asked to play in the bottom six with a focus on defence and physicality – I’m sure he would be willing to change his game and do whatever it takes to help the team.

  6. 4 Nations went with a grittier bottom six, do they want Scheifele as 3/4C? I kinda doubt it, ~~but olympics is bigger ice, so maybe.~~

    I’d hope they put him on wing though, they’d be stupid not to

  7. He’s a lock. Unlike the World Cup of hockey these games are officiated by iihf refs which benefits him over say a guy like Tom Wilson. The only thing going against 55 is that a lot of his success is playing with KC which is obv not an option. International is very different than events like WCH and imo plays into his hands.

  8. You’re wondering if mark scheifle, the guy currently leading the NHL in points, is going to make the olympics? Yeah I feel pretty comfortable in saying he’ll be on the team

  9. IMO he’s a top 5 centre in the league and deserves a spot on the Canadian Olympic team. 

  10. Yes, but…politics will probably be why he won’t make it. Same with Logan Thompson should be our #1 goalie.

  11. I’m not frickin watching if he doesn’t.

    I don’t know if Marchand makes the team but in my mind I just pictured scheifele and him on a line together. The frick and fuck line

  12. He should I be on the team simply because he is deeply acquainted with the insane force of nature that the Americans will have in between the pipes.

    He knows the way helly reads shots, and has probably scored on him in practices and training camps more than any other Canadian skater. That info is incredibly valuable to our team.

  13. Not picking him would a bit insane. I know its early in the season, but I mean time flies we are at like 16% of the season played already. Mark is the league point leader. He is clearly a leader in the room for the Jets. I mean if you aren’t taking Mark you clearly have no intention of winning, and I would have to assume the entire team Canada leadership is betting against the team at that point. lol

  14. He better! Otherwise I’m gonna go down to that parliament there and have a word with mark carney myself.
