WJC: 2025 Team Canada Roster Talk

[Halfy]

Schaefer is so good

 

[JackSlater]

Molendyk and Schaefer both are clearly cleared to take the puck deep andwilling to do it. Both are mobile enough to get back too.

 

[Digital Dog]

very decent period from Canada, better than the first really but just better goaltending from the Swiss, totally dominant, players growing in confidence

 

[Woodrow]

After two periods I would say the weakest line for Canada has been the Howe- Luchanko - Cataford line.

Mckenna cant possibly stay as 13th forward can he?

 

[therealdeal]

Schaefer is so good

Oh my, that kid can play!!

probs cause 2 of them shouldn't even be on the team lol

 

[Woodrow]

Mckenna cant possibly stay as 13th forward can he?

Having him take random shifts on random lines just seems so bad to me. He's clearly a creative player and you would think you'd want to have him to develop some chemistry with his linemates so they can better anticipate his creativity. Plus he's just too good to have as the extra guy.

Having said that he should have just looked to shoot on the couple of chances he got.

leading chl player as the 13th forward cameron will deserve to be fired mid tournament lol

Would it make you feel better to know that Misa has passed him in points (with the same number of games), so actually, the leading CHL player is not the 13th forward?

 

[Digital Dog]

Cataford looks like he is playing still injured

 

[JackSlater]

I don't think there is any question. Not noticeable really. Howe made a nice play or two, Cataford looked confused, Luchanko overhandled the puck once.

Nice little play for McKenna to Cowan. TSN is right though, the coaches are going to want to see him shoot it from some of the prime scoring spots he gets to.

Reading the posts...

During the mini series about the Summit Series, you hear a radio program in which one of the callers says, "This country sure does LOVE to eat its own".

It's nice to see, 52 years later, things have NOT changed.

If you demand high standards you tend to achieve high standards.

With all the critcism out there about the roster and line combo choices in mind.... color me reasonably impressed with this first pre-tournement game, plenty of positives to take away and some learnings for the coaching team no doubt, get Pinelli in for Cataford on Saturday and keep inserting McKenna in to the top lines with the specific instruction not to try to be the playmaker every shift

Well, if that's true, we won't see that self inflicted goalie error during the real tournament.

 

[Woodrow]

oof bad giveaway by Bjarnason.

 

[JackSlater]

Impressive by Schaefer again, critical in the build to Catton's goal. Then a bad play by Bjarnason to create the goal against himself.

Really liking Molendyk and Schaefer.

 

[Woodrow]

We get a look at the powerplay

 

[ORRFForever]

WOW!

 

[JackSlater]

Nice finish by Cowan for the hat trick. Hopefully Canada gets another power play.

aaaaand its in!

 

[hockey20000]

decent performance by the canadians if the swiss get goaltending they can def compete with slovakia and cze in there group ..

 

[Digital Dog]

It’s 4-0 but holy crap has Canada looked like shit

Not putting any stock into this but that was rough to watch

i hope they've won you over a bit more by now

Cameron has really aged. He needs an EASY World Juniors - for a change.
