Tanner Howe made the f***ing team? Ok.
My thoughts exactly. There were a few players, I went, huh? on.

They always go in with a preset energy line with older guys on it, it's team canada 101. They do it literally every year.Tanner Howe made the f***ing team? Ok.
Yes, while there are some questionable selections, overall one really can’t see too many gross errors in the assembled roster. To this writer the selection of Pinelli and/or Howe over Hage is puzzling. The omission of Hage must be based on considerations other than an objective assessment of these player’s comparative talents. But Hockey Canada’s decision to ignore the clamour over Parekh and not select him showed good insight as Parekh would have been uncomfortably exploited by the high end talent he would be facing in the WJC.Tanner Howe made the f***ing team? Ok.
Tbf. Our top prospect is not allowed at the WJC and Hage should be there if not of politics. I do not care that much about WJC, it's a tournament that create more hype than substance. We had WJC MVP that flopped in the past (Poehling) and our top forward (Suzuki) looked below par in that very same tournament.WJC on the east coast for once
years into the rebuild
Habs have 1 prospect and he's the 7th D on Sweden

It's honestly not as bad as last year. Last year was was something.Team Canada does this every year with questionable selections, but this year's lineup straight up feels like throwing lol
All prospect from 2022 are too old. Most prospect from 2023 are too old only Volokhin could represent but he's from russia. But even if Reinbacher would not be too old his country is not participating and he's injured. Demidov is from russia. Hage not being selected might be politic. Not sure about Koivu is he injured?WJC on the east coast for once

Sweden up 2-1 tonight. Bergvist with the 2nd goal.This player seems to have been a decent overage selection in the 7th round.
Chris Lazary was part of the selection committee and wasn't able to sway anyone on Parekh I wonder if he even tried.Yes, while there are some questionable selections, overall one really can’t see too many gross errors in the assembled roster.
