WJC: 2022 Team Canada Roster Talk

[Maplebeasts]

I'd be surprised if Desyoners and Tverberg weren't even possibilities.

Not really sure what Pronman saw from Dean and Evangelista in these 2 games. They're more likely to be cut than make it imo.

 

[JT63]

Hopefully it's Pronman's opinion rather than rumblings from the coaching staff

Although there can be some obvious picks for both good and bad performances, a lot of this is eye-of-the-beholder stuff. If you happened to be paying the most attention when a player has his best moment, it will leave a bigger impact.

The tweet makes it seem like it's just speculation on Pronman's part.

True, but it seems to be pretty consensus that both were among the weaker forwards in these 2 games.

Good looking lineup. Johnson and Bedard have played roller hockey together for years and this past summer they dominated the men’s league. Wonder if they get a look together on the ice.

Did not know this! Good info. In that case I like swapping Perfetti and Johnson. I know McTavish and Bedard played together at last year's U18 so would be great for Canada if that trio found some early chemistry.

[Dominance]

No disrespect to Luke, but this was the most obvious cut besides Finley.

[kyle44]

 

[waitin425]

No Roy

No Savoie

Bedard! Yes

 

[SpoolCat]

Elliot Desnoyers but no Lapierre What? Not a good continuation from the selection camp invites.

 

[JT63]

I still don't get the love for Cuylle besides being big

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

So Lapierre, Dean, Tverberg, Finley, Evangelista, Roy, Dufour, Iorio, Hunt
did I miss anyone?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Wow. No Lapierre seems kinda bad.

 

[duul]

I’m surprised that Lapierre got cut in favour of Cuylle. Other than that pretty standard.

 

[MosTLucky]

Surprised by Lapierre but he didn’t impress much in the games

 

[JackSlater]

Alright, the team is set. A bit surprised about Lapierre but his camp was not very good. Time for them to go out and get the gold medal.

He has struggled since his return from Washington.

 

[JTeller97]

Not a single RHD on the roster... bizarre

 

[J1mLahey]

Dave Cameron scares me as the coach. Still can’t get over the Clarke omission especially when you don’t have a RHD on the roster. With that said, the team is well rounded and should be in the thick of it. Excited for the pre tourney games leading into Boxing Day!

Shows Hockey Canada’s bias against the QMJHL. What a joke

 

[snipes]

Pretty strong team assembled.

Maybe we have a new trend every three years: questionable coach and a QF exit.

2016: Dave Lowry, QF loss vs Finland
2019: Tim Hunter, QF loss vs Finland
2022: Dave Cameron, remains to be seen

Not surprised at all about Lapierre, he showed very little, just was far from at his best.
