WJC: 2017 Canada Roster Talk - Part 2

[jj cale]

colour guy is real solid tho.

I find him.................ok.

 

[Statsy]

lol, yeah, they seem to have that one all messed up.

Other then that though fine work..........."giiiiraaaaard"

fantastic.

"Geeerah". C'est magnifique!

 

[jj cale]

"Geeerah". C'est magnifique!

It's hilarious every time he says it.

 

[Hagstrom]

Yeesh, was hoping for a better game from the CIS guys

 

[xIsle]

Someone should tell the guy who is doing the play by play that Chabot name is pronounced with the T at the end, it's not Chabo.

 

[jj cale]

ChaBOW having a decent game tonight I think.

 

[snipes]

"Shaaa BOW" with a shot.

**** just call him Chabot and anglicanize the "bot" or lessen up on the "BOW". Brutal.

 

[Halfy]

who scored 3 and 4

steel and stephens I believe.

 

[Statsy]

Nice footage of the U Sports goal. Well, not the goal but all the crap collected on the camera lens. Clean that once in a while, guys!

 

[Halfy]

McNiven. Yikes. 4-3.

 

[Statsy]

4-3 now. This is bad news for McNiven. Ouch!

 

[jj cale]

According to the colour guy the CIS guys were "in awe" of the talent of this TC in the 1st period.

 

[snipes]

3 goals on 6 shots for McNiven? Yikes.

 

[jj cale]

A hair away from tying it there.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Wagner and Merkley are pretty bad. Why is Michael Macleod playing with two dump and chasers, he is a possession player.

 

[jj cale]

Are all the games going to be available via stream?

I've got to assume the 2 games against the University guys are.

 

[Stizzle]

Announcers call out Myers for a turnover. Yet he wasn't even on the ice. Unhappy Flyers fan is me.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Wagner and Merkley are pretty bad. Why is Michael Macleod playing with two dump and chasers, he is a possession player.

MacLeod has looked the weaker of the three in my eyes. It's only one game though.

 

[JackSlater]

Canada seems lazy, which is surprising with most of these players not locked in. The returnees all look fine thus far, goaltending does not. Wagner and Brisebois (mostly in the first period) haven't looked good. I like what Steel has done. Myers is quite a mixed bag thus far. Cringing a bit at the pronunciation of the French names, but it's free.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

If they are expecting to play chip and chase then leave him home..he is a 5 on 5 possession player who can put up points on the rush

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

4th line C imo

 

[SNMU]

Jost - Strome - Stephens
Steel - Barzal - Gauthier
Cirelli - Roy - Joseph
Dubois - McCleod - Raddysh
Dube

Chabot - Juulsen
Bean - Myers
Lauzon - Mete
Fabbro

Hart
Ingram

 

[Steazy Doo]

Is he incapable of that? Maybe he should have been left back then. I thought he was a hustle and bustle engine never stops guy. He can't play a fourth line role if asked?

 

[jj cale]

Benson too. Disappointed about both not getting a look.

Bear has 26 points in 28 games this year, +11. He would have been a good right handed D who could be the PP QB for us, he deserved a look especially after dominating the WHL playoffs last year. Tough, character WHL Dman who would have helped us.

You have always seemed to be really high on the kid, too bad he didn't get a look.

I said earlier we should build a bully. We don't have the skill to "out Euro" the European teams.

Have a mix of guys like Strome, Stephens, etc. and add some big 19 year olds who want to play nasty. Givani Smith would have been nice. Our midget size Q centric D isn't the way to go on NA ice.

Just so I'm clear, I'm not talking goons or dirty play. I'm talking the Canadian way with heart and soul types who give everything they have every shift relentless on the forecheck finishing every check and intimidating the opposition. Just flat out wanting it more.
