WJC: 2017 Team USA Roster Talk

[Morry83]

I think Cecconi is the one out.

In a short tournament take skill over size

I agree, but I have to think they invited Cecconi for a reason, and not just the lack of overall depth at the position this year.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

is the game televised?

 

[sxvnert]

Would like to see: DeBrincat-Brown-Bracco

Their player cuts will come after the game, which means they are likely to sit out some locks for the team in favour of a final look at some bubble players.

Looks like you can only follow tonight's action on twitter via usahockeyscores. In the past fasthockey (now hockeytv) broadcasted some of them but there will be no stream for tonight's game. Garyboy will have to come through with a recap of the game if he goes.

This. I was surprised that Cecconi was invited (personally I like Martin) but the fact that he got invited means he's going to make it, I bet. I feel the same about Harper.

That sucks. No broadcast radio or tv

I know, it just builds excitement to watch them live for the first time on boxing day.

Thanks.

To me, it looks like theyre running tryouts, as many scratches are guys I consider locks. By that logic, I'm surprised that Terry isnt playing. Interesting that Bellows is on line 4.

I'm very intrigued by a Keller-White-Thompson line....doing everything they can to get Tage rolling....probably smart.

I think Thompson will have a pretty huge impact in this tourney.

 

[bigdog16]

Got a feeling Harper could be that under the radar guy this year. Hope he makes some noise. Also super annoyed theres no broadcast

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I didn't actually consider Keller and White on the same line as a possibility, but its not a bad idea.

We could have a lineup something like this when the tournament starts:

Keller-White-Thompson
Harper-Brown-DeBrincat
Greenway-Roslovic-Bracco
Terry-Kunin-Anderson
Laczynski/Foley/Bellows

That might be the deepest group of forwards in the tournament.

 

[DJJones]

More pumped for this team than Canada haha.

Go Fox and Parsons!

Cool . Nice Lineup. Top 3 lines all look great.
Of the scratches ... Would only Kunin and McAvoy be locks or is Greenway a lock too?

Terry is the only one of that group I haven't been viewing as a lock.

 

[22Brad Park]

Pumped to watch McAvoy.That hit he put on Crouse was unreal.Players better have heads up when he is on the ice. https://youtu.be/J_3YNBHKMhA

I agree.

Roslovic's versatility gives them a lot of options. He's such a valuable part of the team.

I am going to Friday nights game, so hopefully McAvoy is back in then.

 

[Peanut]

Will Kunin light up this tournament or am I expecting too much from him?

 

[Stud Muffin]

Is Caleb Jones in danger of being cut?
