WJC: 2020 Canada Roster Talk

[Hockey Stick]

Very bad start for the guys in red

 

[jj cale]

2-0.

and Canada scores. 2-1

 

[JackSlater]

So far it's a USports powerplay goal on a nice shot, Krebs took the penalty. Second Usports goal on a two on one after a Krebs turnover. Canada scores Newhook from McMichael.

 

[Alberta tough]

Rough period for Krebs.

Biggest head scratchier for me is Dudas. He must be a lock if not why did they bring him to camp?

 

[Statsy]

Kinda wish we could send over this USports team to the tourney. Every year I’m impressed with how solid of a team they put together. It just goes to show you how much a couple more years of development make in this game.

Yeah, Canadian university hockey is really under appreciated. The strength difference is so apparent out there. Can really see the difference between men vs boys.

Half of these guys were 80 point CHLers or better, who are now 21-24 years old. They are going to be a very good team.

Precisely...and they are not just bringing randoms, they are also essentially putting together an all star team

Dudas is hurt

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Mercer just hit the post on good play to steal the puck. Had the goalie beat... Did everything but score

 

[Alberta tough]

Dudas is hurt

Exactly so unless he is a lock what is he doing there?

 

[Dodospice]

Hayton reportedly being released by Arizona... 1st line C in place now and the team just got a heck of a lot deeper.

 

[Leonard]

Apparently Yotes going to release Hayton

 

[Statsy]

Through two periods of play, I've never seen Canada with less going on offensively in my life.

 

[tony d]

Hayton will def improve the team for sure. Him and Lafreniere probably form 2/3 of a good 1st line.

 

[BondraTime]

He's a lock

 

[wishywashy19]

Very bad start for the guys in red

Hard to make goalie observations
Usports making it very difficult game
Puck pressure causing turnovers and connections on cross ice passing lanes

 

[MMC]

 

[Hockey Stick]

HAYTON!!!

 

[kyle44]

Well I’m eating some crow on this one. Really didn’t think Arizona would release him.

 

[PatrickMcC]

Yuuge for team canada

 

[MackAttack26]

Do Dach next!

I wish.

But this made sense with Hayton being a constant healthy scratch.

Big boost to the top-6 C position.

 

[JackSlater]

Well, I'm certainly surprised that Hayton is going given that McKenzie is usually so accurate but it definitely makes sense for him and Arizona. Good news.

I also imagine that this throws Hunter's plans a bit. Might delay a cut or two.

 

[Oleksiak]

Apparently Yotes going to release Hayton

This is huge. Offense will be very dangerous with this addition.

 

[Gold Standard]

yeah, good news. but it probably means Hockey Canada will cut Byfield. and that will be disappointing. but we shall see.
