WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk (Part III)

[Alerion]

Not sure why people have an issue with Canada's physical play. Look at the 2005-2009 teams. Their games were always physical and the wore teams down. It's smart in a tournament if you manage to not take stupid penalties.

I can see Ritchie being cut though. He is good but could be a liability.

The problem is accomplishing the bolded.

 

[FLYguy3911]

just seems like he is always looking to punch something, much like ritchie

Funny he's not like that when he plays for Calgary.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Centers Galore...

It's hockey still. If it happens in the NHL shouldn't be a problem in Junior. Just say it, i'm just curious what your response will be, curious myself. I hope your not referencing the scrum in the end.....

when he was going for a change and a russian was in the area he decided to throw him... puck was in possession about 7 feet away. and then yes at the end of the period, seems like a lightning rod for that type of activity and im not just saying that from this game, ive watched for a few years. Just calling it as i see it and trying to identify what is best for this team, great prospect and will have a fine NHL career just would like him to take it down a notch for this tournament, for the teams sake.

Canada needs to play a tough physical style to win.
The key is knowing how far to go without crossing the line. Nurse and Ritchie are the two guys I'm worried about based on prior games. If Nurse especially can learn where that line is he can be a really effective player.

Nurse is a totally different player compared to last year. During the Lake placid games he was trying to take peoples heads off.

He has matured a lot. He is still physical but he isn't as reckless.

Ritchie will be the problem.

That's good to hear about Nurse. He could be a great asset if he plays smart and physical.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Russian PP

 

[Alerion]

Aww cmon Bowey

Super impressed by Paul

 

[ZeroPT*]

Glad Paul is playing well. I had him on my roster.

 

[Alerion]

Aggresssive PK. I like it.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Fabbri almost snuck that one in. Woulda been nice!

 

[Get North]

Just realized they have "PQ" on the back of their helmets for Pat Quinn.

 

[OG]

Morrissey and Fleury is an awesome pairing. Nurse is impressive as well.

 

[ZeroPT*]

That was a real dumb penalty
