WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk (Part II)

[TheBeastCoast]

What is the plan if one or both goalies go down with injuries

Another goalie.

Another goalie.

Obviously, anyone with more insight?

Team looks good in my eyes

Yes, for the first time in several years, we have a dynamic skating team. It would not surprise me if we blow out some teams, even some of the higher ranked ones. Also, I like the defence, they're big and mobile. As with many, my only concern is our goaltending. I find Fucale somewhat stiff and unathletic. Let's hope it doesn't come down to goaltending. If we fail to win, it won't be as a result of choosing the wrong players. We may quibble with some of the choices, but I don't think there is one player on the team that doesn't warrant playing at this level. A failure to win on home ice (even with the missing NHLers) means the other nations have caught up to us or, even surpassed us, at our own game.

any thoughts regarding which/if any players playing in the WJC will wind up in the CHL after the tourney is over, or players released to play being sent back??

And no I am not talking about the ones already playing in the CHL.

 

[Quinning]

I'm sure the lines will be shuffled as the tournament goes along. That's a pretty soft top six as of now.

 

[Halfy]

same lines at practice today I guess?

So says the one who has been posting here and possibly has McDavid in their ava.

Yeah because my avatar should be taken seriously given the Penguins attempt to tank for McDavid

Hockey Canada's Scott Salmond on Lazar: "The fact they haven't said, 'No,' right now is at least encouraging & we remain optimistic."

 

[Ehlert]

Hoping that Petan does well. Reminds me of Sakic.

Would be hilarious if they got Jarry in and he steals the Gold for us.

Jarry? He should be there backing up Comrie anyway.

I guess if both go down, bring in Whistle as well?

 

[CapsJunkie]

haha I like your style

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

With Groulx looking like he wants a big physical line I'm wondering if Lazar gets sent down if he'll center Crouse and Virtanen. That would be one hell of a line to try and contain.

 

[Eye of Ra]

If Lazar comes:

Petan - McDavid - Lazar
Domi - Reinhart - Duclair
Dal Colle - Point - Fabbri
Virtanen - Gauthier - Crouse
Chartier

Fleury - Theodore
Nurse - Bowey
Morin - Hicketts
Morrisey

Fucale
Comrie

 

[Leviathan899]

The goalie that should be brought in, is Kenny Appleby. Not a better goalie in junior hockey IMO.

I'm sure the lines will be shuffled as the tournament goes along. That's a pretty soft top six as of now.

Soft? Virtanen is pretty physical , so is Duke. Point is feisty. Fabbri too.
