WJC: 2025 Team Canada Roster Talk

[1Gold Standard]

They make a lot of money off this tournament....I highly doubt it starts with a B like you keep saying lol

It’s an inside joke that only a few hf posters will get. If you missed it a few weeks ago…then you missed it.

In the history of tournaments, I don't think there has ever been a tournament where Morreale did not pick the U.S. to win...

U.S., Canada among picks to win gold, Schaefer, Hagens top prospects for draft, according to NHL.com writers

I guess his NJ High School Ice Hockey HOF membership (LOL) has tainted his objectivity.

He’s the worst of the worst, but the entire NHL.com crew are star spangled quacks.

It is amazing. EVERY tournament. He NEVER bets against them - Olympics, World Cups, World Juniors.

I'm BEGGING you, PLEASE fill me in. I can't handle the suspense.

 

[Matttheleaf]

I wonder if this means anything or if it's just something they haven't done yet.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I hope Rehkopf isn’t cut.

 

[Jimmy71]

I hope Rehkopf isn’t cut.

IMO he didn't look very good in the exhibition games

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I thought Beaudoin and probably Gauthier were worse, and Rehkopf’s chemistry with Martone could be valuable.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I doubt they are cut but not registering the full 25 gives you the flexibility to still bring someone from outside in case of injury if you want to up until NYE. Or you just register the player then.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ignoring the names not registering your 14th forward or 8th D until you intend on playing them makes sense. If you register 14/8/3 and 3 D get injured in game 1 now you're down to 5 D for the rest of the tournament. If you register 13/7/2 and that happens you can use your last 2 open skater spots on D to go 13/9/3 and at least have 6 D. Sucks for the forward left out in that case but bad breaks happen. Same thing up front in 3 F got hurt. The goalie is weird though. You can't choose to roster 1 less goalie and get an extra skater. So assuming the will register the last G at some point it's going to be Bjarnason unless he gets hurt in practice I guess.

 

[1Gold Standard]

I get it, lol

Of course you do. You are in the loop, in tune, or as they like to say in a certain country that is not participating here, ti v kursye.

 

[JackSlater]

Just watched Guenther score in overtime to give Canada the 2023 tournament on TSN. Looking forward to seeing another gold this year.

I thought Beaudoin looked ok but yes Gauthier looked terrible

My sources tell me that it's because Bedard and Celebrini are being flown in by the New Year's Eve game.

We could use the help on our 2nd PP unit.

Celebrini taking Luchanko's spot as fourth line centre, Bedard probably as Yager's RW.

 

[Mathieukferland]

Celebrini taking Luchanko's spot as fourth line centre, Bedard probably as Yager's RW.

Celebrini is 18. He would need to pay his dues and start in the press box or the 13th forward, it’s a 19 year old tournament after all

At least he made Team Canada last year, Bedard didn't even do that

Howie did carry him in Regina. Bedard's back tracking can be improved though. College boy Celebrini will be ready in 2026.

Will the games be televised in USA?

[Leviathan899]

I respect all the teams Lev.

My concerns are about how our team is playing and how I expect them to roll as a team at this tournament which is coming at teams in waves with 4 lines being effective and wearing teams down, not 2 lines or sometimes only 1.

It's about us not them.

Fair enough man, I get what you’re saying. We have high expectations, nothing wrong with that. Should be a great game tonight vs Finland, looking forward to this.
