WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk (Part III)

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Dal Colle and Fleury..........now those are two guys I know would come through for this team.

Please tell me the last guy cut is Ritchie, I sure hope Dal Colle wasn't cut so they could have freakin' Crouse and Ritchie at the same time.

 

[Maplebeasts]

This is a joke. How can MDC get cut before Gauthier, Crouse and Chartier? Are they trying to throw away a medal?

 

[jbell886]

Gauthier over Dal Colle is laughable. Honestly disgusting.

different positions

 

[couture23]

Dunno how you cut Dal Colle

Because he was pretty poor. His entire line was.

I know they weren't given more minutes, but I think you expect a bit more from a recent 5th overall pick.

 

[Jtown]

Fleury got cut? That's insane. He was much better than both Heatherington and Morin.

not really. he like the other 2 did not stand out good or bad.

 

[FLYguy3911]

next years d no experience.

Hicketts!!!

 

[leafsfuture]

WOW Fleury what the hell

i thought he played well today. I dont think he made one puck turnover. Some cerebral defensive plays too

 

[Snippit]

Gauthier over Dal Colle is laughable. Honestly disgusting.

What happened to choosing a team that has 4 lines that can score?

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Imagine if someone said a few months ago that Joe Hicketts was the only '14 dman to be on the team lol.

Haydn Fleury cut by Team CAN. D as follows: Morrissey-Bowey/Nurse-Theodore/Morin-Hicketts/Heatherington

Bowey on the top line SMH!!

Did I not say 2 hours ago that Crouse - Gauthier - Virtanen make a solid line? Coach just repeated it! I'd love to see that line. Although I don't know if I would prefer Crouse or Paul. Crouse is better offensively, Paul would help with the shutdown.

 

[Canada4Gold]

But at the expense of who though........that is the question.

Doesn't matter who really. He should be on the team ahead of Crouse, ahead of Richie, ahead of Chartier, and even though they play vastly different roles, ahead of Gauthier.

It's just dumb.

 

[DrJenniferHanson]

So uh this is awkward

Hope we're not in for another rendition of the Fighting Lunchbuckets this year. Hated the Anderson selection last year and hoped HC would learn from it.

 

[VanNistelrooy]

What do you expect? French coach will pick a French player.

That's ridiculous.

 

[ZeroPT*]

Morin over Fleury????

Seriously? What is this crap?

 

[SidGenoMario]

Team Canada overthinking it and not taking the best players? Wow I'm shocked

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Because he was pretty poor. His entire line was.

I know they weren't given more minutes, but I think you expect a bit more from a recent 5th overall pick.

I'll assume he didn't stick out at practice, cause if it was based solely on one game then I might soon go Mr Writer on their *****.

 

[leafsfuture]

I honestly thought Fleury was our best defenceman after Morissey tonight.

Either I know nothing, or HC's ways have changed.

For me this is like cutting Corrado all over again

 

[684]

Because he was pretty poor. His entire line was.

I know they weren't given more minutes, but I think you expect a bit more from a recent 5th overall pick.

Well he got less ice time than I think most of us would've expected. Only one game too, you should be able to recognize the type of player he is when he's lighting it up in the CHL and has shown he can play pretty damn well at this level.

 

[Broods]

Did it really come down to one game? If Point is not cut I'm buying a Team USA jerset so I can cheer in the playoffs for a team still alive. He was pushed off the puck everytime

 

[DoubleDouble*]

What do you expect? French coach will pick a French player.

Gauthier over Dal Colle is laughable. Honestly disgusting.

You gotta stop goals, too. With your logic, we'd have the same kind of team that has lost us medals over the last few years.

They are picking defensibly responsible players too. In a vaccuum DC is way better than Gauthier or Crouse, but hockey isn't just offence.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Lawson Crouse made the team.

 

[OG]

not really. he like the other 2 did not stand out good or bad.

I don't see anything Heatherington did to warrant making it over him. Zone entries, outlets, etc.

 

[leafsfuture]

One more cut to come -- it should be Chartier.

How much of us actually have faith it will be him after this lol
