WJC: 2017 Canada Roster Talk - Part 2

[J1mLahey]

Does anybody know when our next pre tournament game is? And will it be streamed? I noticed that TSN2 has a game on tomorrow but I don't get that channel.

I believe they play Monday Wednesday Friday.

 

[SNMU]

I believe they play Monday Wednesday Friday.

Thanks Mr.Lahey. And don't forget to rock your fanny pack this Christmas!

 

[docbenton]

Don't love him yet as a player but Jake Bean has to be the cutest hockey player, name and all. Just seems like a nice guy. Hope he continues to develop and has success.

Don't love him yet as a player but Jake Bean has to be the cutest hockey player, name and all. Just seems like a nice guy. Hope he continues to develop and has success.

And perhaps plays in his forties, leading to the nickname "Old Bean" being thrown around. In all seriousness now, I'm actually interested in Team Canada this year with our young players on there and on Team USA. Can't wait!

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Who is most likely to get named captain and alternate captain?

Who is most likely to get named captain and alternate captain?

Strome and Chabot are good bets to get a letter of some kind and maybe Stephens? He was the captain for U-18.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Who is most likely to get named captain and alternate captain?

Purely guessing I'd say

Stephens - C
Strome - A
Chabot - A
Gauthier - A

 

[xIsle]

Purely guessing I'd say

Stephens - C
Strome - A
Chabot - A
Gauthier - A

Gauthier? I'll be surprise. My guess the captain will be Strome or Stephens. The alternates : Strome (or Stephens), Chabot and Barzal.

 

[SNMU]

I like those lines

 

[J1mLahey]

Any news on special teams units at all? Who do you guys like in respects to killing penalties?

 

[L13]

I wouldn't be surprised if Jost got a letter.

 

[izzy]

I like this team. Not as many high profile stars as usual but I think they could win it.

 

[duul]

Sorry, haven't been following the WJC this year. Did Ethan Bear come anywhere close to making this team?

 

[TT1]

Don't like the forward lines, D pairings look good tho.

I'd go with:

Dubois - Strome - Gauthier
Jost - Barzal - Raddysh
Joseph - Roy - Speers
Cirelli - McLeod - Stephens
Dube

Masters also mentions that Stephens and Cirelli were the pk forwards for the drill

 

[Vagrant]

Nicolas Roy and Julien Gauthier spent time playing together in camp/preseason for the Hurricanes and both are from the Q, so that should add some comfort level for them. That's going to be a heavy line. I like Jost in that spot to add some creativity for all the room those two are going to open up.

 

[Jarey Curry]

So will the probable scoring catalysts from team canada be Dubois, Strome and maybe Jost and Barzal

 

[Statsy]

So will the probable scoring catalysts from team canada be Dubois, Strome and maybe Jost and Barzal

Yep, I would say those are the best bets.

 

[Get North]

I'll be watching out for the coaching in the pre-tournament game. The summer games were coached like Dave Lowry, overplayed his top players and the break-out was terrible. Ducharme had some concerns on here from me including after the summer camp, let's see how he does in a exhibition.

Not really.

 

[landy92mack29]

Who is most likely to get named captain and alternate captain?

Strome will probably have the C and think Dubois and Jost will have A's. Chabot or Juulsen could have A's as well
