[Stud Muffin]

GodlaJesus

Nurse
Forsling

Domi or Reway
Reinhart
McDavid

 

[bleuetbio]

so the answer is Godla, Forsling, Morrissey, McDavid, Reinhart and Domi....

The medias have the ***** for team Canada. There's no common sense to put 3 forwards for the Team Canada

Player of the tournament is God Law

I think Forsling is a lock. I mean, sure points and actual defensive play are 2 different things, but when has a defenceman ever doubled all other defencemen in scoring at this tournament? It's very rare. Forsling hasn't been a complete disaster defensively, and has twice as many points as any other d. He should get a spot.

And I don't buy the "he didn't make the final" thing. He made the semis. So did Nylander, so did Godla. Larkin didn't even make the semis. Why should the all star team be all players from the 2 teams in the GMG? It shouldn't, that has 0 bearing. If you had an outstanding tournament and got bronze then you'll be there.

As for Morrissey, or Bowey, I just picked one of them, because I didn't know who else to pick. Nurse could definitely be an option. Honestly if you let me pick 3 guys for that 2nd spot, I'm not sure I'd be confident in a bet at even odds on it being 1 of those 3, it's that open among a bunch of guys, and these picks are sometimes wacky.

Bowey would need an insane game tonight. Morrissey has been fine however imo.

There are a lot of much better dmen than forsling. He got some points but there are a lot of great 2way guys that deserve recognition over forsling

Exactly.
He leaks as many chances as he creates.

On a weaker WJ team he would be exposed as a liability.

Could say the exact same about Forsling

 

[JayKing]

Reway has to be there. 9 pts. Next Slovak has 3 pts.

 

[uncleben]

Domi & Reway for sure

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Domi, Petan, Larkin, Forsling, Nurse, Godla

 

[Canada4Gold]

My best guess as of right now: Reinhart, McDavid, Nylander, Forsling, Morrissey, Godla

So I got 5/6 correct. I would have probably put Domi there as well, especially after the game he had tonight, but I didn't expect they'd go 3/3 to Canadian forwards. Really though Canada had by far the most standout forwards in the tournament, there were 4 in double digits, 5 with 9+, 6 with 8+

There are a lot of much better dmen than forsling. He got some points but there are a lot of great 2way guys that deserve recognition over forsling

You don't just put up twice as many points as every other defenceman in the tournament and not get recognized. Whether defensively he deserved it or not he was always going to get recognized for this with the media voting on it. And he got it just like I said.

Did they announce it? I can't tell if this thread was a prediction thread or what?

Thought Nurse would be there instead of Morrissey, but whatever. No complaints.
