WJC: 2025 Team USA Roster Talk

[Juxtaposer]

Unfortunately, I don't think we're gonna get Smith.

That roster they put together sucks, so I hope not. Doesn’t even make sense. Plante has been injured all year. He’s not making the team.

No Musty either, not even as extra?

Max Plante is back from injury and absolutely deserves consideration. But Shaugabay not there over him doesn't make a ton of sense.

It's that time of year boys!

Plante may be on the verge of returning, but hasn’t played since being injured. Making the WJC team for a player who was on the bubble, at best, with one game played all year is hard to believe.

Tonight BU is playing a line of Svoboda-Bednarik-Eiserman. I don’t hate it.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Svoboda has 2 highlight goals tonite

 

[Joe Zanussi]

My updated forward lines:

Perrault - Moore - Leonard
Musty - Hagens - Eiserman
Connelly - Nelson - Adams
Burnevik - Terrance - Reeder
Svoboda

Risers:
Terrance- playing great again. He’s back on my team
Musty- Ditto
Reeder- I don’t see much of Denver but he’s playing important minutes for the best team. Good enough for me.
Burnevik - Just keeps scoring every night
Willis - Pretty much going by what I read here

Fallers:
Hendrickson - I want him on the team so bad but he’s been meh
Whitelaw - For a long time I just assumed he was on the team. Needs a bigggg run to get back to where he was
Humphrey and Nehring - Both had good starts but have fallen back

I was originally joking about Joey Willis but man he has to be the most in form US junior player right now and is certainly making a claim...

3 hat-tricks, 13 goals & 18 pts in his last 5 games for Saginaw now!!!

18 points in 5 games is madness lol

Musty broke his hand, out for WJC. Not as familiar with USA - will any CHL players be on this roster now?

Well spot just opened up for Joey Willis

 

[Rabid Ranger]

As talented as Musty is, I'm not sure how enamored USA Hockey was with selecting him. They will have a strong top six, and I don't think he's a guy you lean on lower in your lineup.

I don’t know if it did because Musty was 50/50 to make the team and they’d be playing different roles.

It certinaly doesnt do him any harm.

Today he just won OHL player of the week for a second time in a row
