WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk (Part II)

[Hemmer Time]

Where have you heard that Elie is cut?

 

[Canada4Gold]

returning player cut, doesn't happen very often, when was the last time?

 

[Whitesnake]

I would have kept Baptiste...

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

Happy to see Hicketts stick. If he makes the team I think he'll have a coming out party. His offensive talents should really help out.

Baptise. Elie hasn't been cut yet

If it comes down to Morin and another D-man who performed almost equally, Groulx likely picks the french guy Morin.

 

[pitt1523]

I didn't see Elie cut yet

 

[Whitesnake]

Yeah I know. There are way too many FRENCH guys on this team...Morin is a bad player, only there because he's french....anything else wise to add?

Here we go

Then there is hope that Gauthier gets cut!

Canada cuts Nick Baptiste

dumb.

 

[Canadian Game]

I didn't see Elie cut yet

Same here.

 

[Statsy]

Man, these are always so painful to watch. I feel for these kids. Hopefully they don't immediately run them through the interview gauntlet.

 

[DanrikCarter]

I'm shocked Baptiste got cut

 

[Stand Witness]

How many more cuts need to be made to F and D?

 

[wings5]

Yeah I know. There are way too many FRENCH guys on this team...Morin is a bad player, only there because he's french....anything else wise to add?

Just saying he will be more familiar with him, if it comes down to him and say Heatherington for example and they both played equally in the exhibition games.

Canada cuts forward Nick Baptiste. #Sabres prospect says it was an honour to be among top 30 junior players.

Dumb move Canada

 

[JayKing]

1 cut remaining for today per Steph Leroux

 

[NateTheGreat]

Dissapointed that Bigras got cut, seeing as im an Avs fan. But he's having a great season this year with Owen Sound, hopefully this just motivates him and he keeps developing. Someone who can skate and has the hockey IQ that he has, sky's the limit for this kid.

Nick Baptiste on being cut by Team Canada: "It sucks but that's life."

 

[Whitesnake]

I will choose to believe that was what you were implying. Yet, "the french guy Morin" didn't "sound" as an analysis based on familiarity...if so, maybe "the Q guy Morin" would have looked better.....

Q is totally forgotten this year so it's probably not a good year to talk about favoritism....Even I almost agree that at the very least, I would have gone with a tryout of 3 goalies as I don't like how Fucale handles himself this year. But at one point, french guy or not, Morin should be on this team. So is Gauthier. At one point, french guys aren't there to represent the country. They can be there too because they are good players. Strangely though, when you talk about familiarity, the other coaches might have done in the past yet with Groulx, a "french" coach and a Q coach.....I really hope you are not going to say that the representation is way too biased towards the Q.....
