WJC: 2024 Team Canada Roster Talk - Part 1

[wishywashy19]

But my point was that they won’t play it like a pre-tournament game. They’ll play it like it’s a playoff game for the Stanley Cup.

I think it was a bad call to play USA pre
no way are we going to be ready for the hatred and message they are going to wish.
they already have patterned and proven line combos.
we are going to be headed for closing of the ranks before the first official puck drop.

Interesting that the only returning player from last year isn't part of the "locks."

Oh, he has been a lock now for 3 years

I dont think it is that bad an idea, it is likely to give them a taste of what they are up against straight out of the gate and that isnt the worst thing.


Main thing i worry about it is injuries because it will be a pretty intense exhibition game.

I feel as though our coaches called down to the front desk in a hotel to ask for an early morning (pre-tournament) wake-up call. Hopefully, we’ll answer it.

Yes i believe it will be live streamed on the U Sports or Hockey Canada Websites. Nothing on any national TV Broadcast for either game that I can see.

Thankfully looks like my thoughts about Savoie will be false.

Help me understand.

Help me understand.

He thought Savoie was going to be a cut. That notion was particularly horrifying to me after I just took him second overall in the C4G draft.

Thanks! Any word on Benson being released?

Will todays Canada game be on OnHockeyTV?

Will todays Canada game be on OnHockeyTV?

No, Hockey Canada paywall stuff never manages to get on there

 

[Alberta tough]

Looks like you have to pay for the game today. Thanks Hockey Canada.

 

[Leafidelity]

Definitely not paying for a pre-tourney exhibition game, hopefully someone has a stream or transcribes well

$15 for 15 days access? Scam.

 

[newfy]

Looks like you have to pay for the game today. Thanks Hockey Canada.

I would think about it, but not for 15 bucks. What a joke

Looks like these are the lines

14 Macklin CELEBRINI 26 Markus VIDICEK 11 Jordan DUMAIS
7 Carson REHKOPF 13 Brayden YAGER 15 Jagger FIRKUS
18 Paul LUDWINSKI 8 Denver BARKEY 21 Matthew WOOD
17 Owen ALLARD 16 Owen BECK 20 Nate DANIELSON
10 Easton COWAN

I could see that first line staying together with a different center.

The second line could stick together

The fourth line could stay together as well. They were skating with Minten, not Beck at center yesterday though.

That third line looks like a line of guys trying to make the team to me though

 

[cmcneil02]

Already gave HockeyCanada $1,200 to see the World Juniors last year, I’m good.

 

[WarriorofTime]

14 Macklin CELEBRINI 26 Markus VIDICEK 11 Jordan DUMAIS
7 Carson REHKOPF 13 Brayden YAGER 15 Jagger FIRKUS
18 Paul LUDWINSKI 8 Denver BARKEY 21 Matthew WOOD
17 Owen ALLARD 16 Owen BECK 20 Nate DANIELSON
10 Easton COWAN

Never heard of this guy, guessing he plays with Dumais in Juniors? Is he supposed to make the team?

 

[Statsy]

Looks like you have to pay for the game today. Thanks Hockey Canada.

They need new ways of paying for their misconduct settlements.

Thanks! Any word on Benson being released?

Still no word.

 

[Dominance]

Best place we have for live updates is this Twitter thread, it seems.

Wood loves scoring in the maple leaf.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Vidicek on the first line is certainly a decision

 

[BondraTime]

Vidicek on the first line is certainly a decision

I mean, Beck and Barkey aren’t going to be auditioning for that role, and his play with Dumais is one of the reasons he was invited.

Not to mention he’s probably the best offensively of the centers dressed at this moment in time.

 

[jj cale]

3-2 Canada at the moment with Wood scoring twice and Furlong netting the other.

 

[Halfy]

Incredibly stupid they put it behind a paywall. Would love to see how many people paid for this

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I would guess Furlong had a nice game.

 

[horner]

How did Cowen play
