WJC: 2021 Canada Roster Talk

[57special]

Well, Goncalves scored. ROR stood up to and destroyed the biggest, best forward on the other team. Schwindt and Foerster missed the second game. I actually thought Sebrango looked pretty good. I don't agree that Robertson will be cut. Do agree that Beckman has to show something....the guy was the WHL scoring leader and has to finish. Suzuki was ok, but I'd agree he was just below the cut line

With defensive Dmen, you want them to not stick out, for the most part. I'm sure that they will have coaches all over them picking apart their game, and figuring out what they need. Barron scored a nice goal, but also had a bad turnover or two. He looks to be the type of player that can win you a game, or lose you a game. Does the team need that at this point, or do they want a duller, more steady player?

One of the couple times we watched hockey in the gym at school. Still can't believe it.

I remember that day. I was listening at work on the radio. Myself and my coworkers were so shocked.

TBH, I've never watched that game - it would be too painful.

November 24: Watch Live! Red vs. White 2pm ET today

noon buddy

Tuesday morning at noon. Noon is still morning?

November 24: Watch Live! Red vs. White 2pm ET today

why does the link say 11:35 a.m eastern instead of 2pm

 

[Prominence Problem]

Yes, I can't find a definite answer on this.

Is the game at noon Eastern, or 2 p.m. Eastern??????

The information I have from Hockey Canada says 2p.m. Eastern, but I am seeing noon other places.

Can someone clear this up?

It was especially painful considering Canada hadn't won since 1997, with the domination from the Russians & Czechs over the previous 6 tournaments. I being 8 years old didn't have memories of that, but could still understand the magnitude of what it meant to lose to the US in the gold medal game. Even the gap between the 09' and 15' wins was two years shorter and that felt like an eternity without victory.

Everything I'm seeing from Hockey Canada says 10AM MST, which would be noon ET. The stream also has a countdown going for when the stream will start

That's true. Thankfully a 5 year Gold Medal run made things better.

how do players in a bubble get Covit.
Not allowed to make political statement but this WJC in Alberta I fear for.

That's too bad. I wonder how that spread happened. More to come on that I would think.

 

[Gold Standard]

This tournament may not even happen. and that is going to suck.

I don’t believe they’re in a bubble. The bubble won’t begin until mid December in Edmonton.

Crud. I was looking forward to watching. With kids it should come and go quickly.

I’m sure that was speculation, but it stands to reason that if things start to get out of hand this tournament could easily be cancelled as so many others already have been. Two coaches and now two players and we’ve barely started. It won’t take too much more before the organizers start weighing liability.

I pray there is a WJR's. I NEED this - as I'm sure many of us do.

Unfortunately, you make some good points. Having said that, the NHL did well once they were in the bubble.

Why not bubble earlier than that? Early December.

 

[ORRFForever]

Was about to exercise then I looked at the clock and thought, " The scrimmage is on! Red vs White!!! " Try to watch it on line (via HF info) and bad news. Again... CRUD!!!

Not sure, I don’t work for them.

I can not say about Canada, but as I know, the Russian NT camp starting in a few days. They will be isolated in their training facility in Novogorsk, tested, then moving to Canada for WJC.

The same with the Slovak NT. Their camp is in a bubble, hoping in the city of Zvolen. Also tested.
