WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk (Part III)

[Get North]

Sorokin playing solid but atleast Russians aren't outplaying us, goalies can have bad games more often than a whole team having one.

 

[jdatb]

I'm guessing Virtanen had a 10 min misconduct since he came on right at the 10 min mark.

Could be.

 

[member 147413]

Everyone is. They are rolling D like crazy.

Fair enough, it just seemed odd that both times I've seen them paired together they would be on their off sides.

Virtanen loves the puck, I think that playing him with Gauthier (such a terrible player, amazed they haven't kicked him out of the Q for being so bad at everything) is a good fit.

 

[WhiteCurse]

I think Virtannen is gonna get cut.

Ya okay, only been a force on the ice all night

 

[OilerPensfan97]

This Russian goaltender has been insanely good so far. He's the one keeping Russia in this game still.

 

[Alerion]

Anyone know the shots? 34 for Canada, how many does Russia have?

 

[DoubleDouble*]

it seems like Ritchie might make this team.

 

[JayKing]

^Ritchie has been poor.

Yes. Minus the power play goal (Nurse ) Canada is dominating. Just need some time together and chemistry.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Seriously refs, how is that not interference?

 

[Peasy]

Liking the team make up even without our two best guys.

Morissey, Gauthier, Dal Colle have stood out for me.

Bro are you even watching this game lol? Gauthier has done nothing. If Gauthier makes this team over Paul its a crime.

 

[member 147413]

The frequently rushing/pinching D will cause problems for Canada in this tourney IMHO.

 

[Quinning]

Uggggghhhh


Enough of this Virtanen talk, he just had another shift and the entire time in the offensive zone.

The guy is making the team, and has been one of the best in the game.


Lets move on

Excuse us Canucks fans, we are the same who had to watch Corrado get cut under Steve Spott despite being the best defenceman at his camp. We're a little tender about it

 

[Breakers]

^Ritchie has been poor.

He has had some good shifts, but that is what he is known for.


Really hot and cold type of player.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Really like Crouse. I'm impressed.. works really hard out there..

 

[Alerion]

Ya okay, only been a force on the ice all night

He hasn't been bad but definitely hasn't been "a force on the ice." It seems almost everyone who mentions Virtanen is a Canucks fan vehemently defending him or declaring him one of the best players on Team Canada.

 

[StIllmatic]

Gauthier has been pretty poor this game. Holds and hooks quite a bit. I feel like he's going to be called for a few penalties during the tournament if he makes it, which he shouldn't.

 

[ZeroPT*]

Bro are you even watching this game lol? Gauthier has done nothing. If Gauthier makes this team over Paul its a crime.

I'm a huge Paul fan and a massive Gauthier hater but even I can admit that Gauthier has been solid

 

[Davebo*]

Just tuning in - are these a 3rd sweater for Canada, or are these the home sweaters for this tournament?

I like it, personally.

 

[Alerion]

I'm a huge Paul fan and a massive Gauthier hater but even I can admit that Gauthier has been solid

Both have been good.

 

[Breakers]

Who is Lawson Crouse Playing with???

I have seen him on a couple of lines.

 

[Lehner]

Domi - Stand out,

HM - Morrisey, Crouse again, Duclair

Didn't like Bowey or Morin.

I think they both make it paul is making great plays with his long reach, really impressive! Gauthier has been a puck possession monster, him and crouse on the cycle have been great! They just need to find virtanen if he gets open when they can.

Looks to me as though dickinson and chartier are easily cut and then it gets a little more interesting.

Crouse has continually proven that he belongs there but ritchie isnt exactly playing like a meatball right now which is nice!

Dal colle has done nothing bad and has had a few nice plays, cant see him being cut but he isnt making it a complete no brainer

 

[JayKing]

Domi - Stand out,

HM - Morrisey, Crouse again, Duclair

Didn't like Bowey or Morin.

I liked both

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

What? Are we watching the same game?
