He's a reptilian like in V. He's much older than his disguise.

To be honest I don't think there's 12 better Canadian forwards than Nick Suzuki. He's 12th in scoring for Canadians and a few guys ahead are career year plugs like Strome, and hagel. Duchene brings nothing Nick doesn't. I'd have to see the list but Nick is one of Canada's most well-rounded forwards. He's also not a choker like guys who will probably be there like Marner. Marchand is clearly past his prime. Cirelli is worse than Nick Suzuki. Konecy is not better than Nick Suzuki.
How hyman and verhage can be discussed as extras is weird considering they aren't centers or good defensively for depth roles. Laf and bedard is even funnier.
Team Canada looks pretty underwhelming tbh. Better don't send anyone to this tournament to get hurt playing meaningless hockey.

The ‘98 team was such a cluster**** but man what a defense
Bourque - Blake
Pronger - Macinnis
Stevens - Desjardins
Foote
With a healthy Kariya and Sakic the ‘98 team probably ends up highly revered in the annals of history but Bobby Clarke’s CTE handicapped the hell out of team chemistry
In Zamuner’s defense he redirected a great Gretzky pass for a nice goal against USA
2006 is my least favourite Canadian team by far.

Suzuki not making it is a shame.
Caufield was expected. Too 1 dimensional and can be pre scouted. Although no Thompson is pretty crazy
Monty is surprising too

I'm not really interested in this format, not during the season. Would be a good primer to start the season, I don't get the point of it during a regular season? Olympic hockey, ok.. this just seems odd. The Canada Cup used to be in the fall, do we even have a rivalry with other countries without Russia in the mix now?

I did prefer the 2016 WC format too when it was played before the season

Maybe posted already.
Says he thinks Monty will be the 3rd, but I don't understand the words around 100%, so not sure if he's certain or he's not 100% certain on it.
Basically, someone who isn't terrible at French could listen that would be awesome.

Not surprised with Suzuki. I'd take him over Marner but he's borderline for that team.
Caufield? I think the Americans are insane for not taking him.

Team Canada getting a bit "cute" with some of these picks. Seems they can't help trying to be the smartest guys in the room. Of course, the team is stacked enough they can get away with it.

What the f***! LMAO.
Trocheck & Kreider?! Trocheck & Kreider?!!
I'm sorry, TROCHECK & KREIDER!!!! Idiots.
This is stupid all around
Canada better get its shit together for the Olympics.
No Bedard is wild man. Everyone and their mother had him there in the summer.

Technically, they could have added Russia as this isn't an IIHF sanctioned tournament anyway, so the NHL doesn't have to comply with their sanctions.
A Russian team would have outstanding goaltending, but not sure if they could fill out the rest of the roster with quality NHL players.

Not a fan of that lineup. I’d definitely have Bedard there. I know he’s inexperienced but there’s so much talent and learning from the vets would be so great of for him. We’re going to need him in future tournaments.

I actually like the team. Lots of Cup winners (17x) and teammates. And that famous Marchand-Crosby duo, we all would expect MacKinnon to replace Bergeron well.

Right. NHL Russian players should have had their team. Awsome offence and great golatending for sure.

Bedard is going to finish the year with 70+ fewer points than the real dawgs like McDavid and Nate. He is almost literally a nobody in this conversation.

I am glad none of the (important) Habs are part of that sham. We need them all rested and healed up for da playoffs. This tourney is stupid and that team Canada roster is an absolute joke.
