Are we in Canada paranoid about 2026 or should we not be worried?

* Sam Reinhart adding to his assist total - 4 Goals and 5 Assists in 6 Games

* Shea Theodore and Mark Stone with a FAST start in Vegas.

* Kent Johnson doing well in Columbus.

* Fantilli with his 2nd Goal.

* Owen Power with his 2nd goal.

* Wyatt Johnston with his 4th assist.

* LAF is PPG+.

Watched SJ v Chicago tonight, Bedard has taken his game to another level. Draws 4 man coverage in transition nearly every rush and opens up soooo much space for Foligno and Teravainen.

Perhaps this is just the TSN content machine trying to generate clicks but there have been some suggestions it’s too early for him and he shouldn’t make the team; I would honestly see his omission as a near Crosby in 2006 level mistake, he’s a top 30 (perhaps even higher) player in the league right now with one of the worst rosters around him. Play driving, vision, and deception all at an elite level

I'm confident he will be on the team and he will be eased in as the games go on.

What;s the format for that thing anyway?, I'm going to have to go check on that.

LOL. A 4 team exhibition tourney in lieu of the usual February All Star boring crap. The correct answer is does it really matter? It shouldn't be anything more than tryouts for the Olympic team.

what are you talking about? I've been busy working on my 2025 WHC Team Canada Roster. Coming soon.
I just meant I have not seen you in a while.

The forum lost its "grumpy old man" smell without you. Glad you are back to remedy that. ;)

Lafreniere is at 5 points in 4 games. I haven't seen the Rangers games myself other than seeing Laf's nice goal against the Pens but I'd say that's a pretty good start anyway. Considering a year ago people thought he was a bust. I didn't, I saw him as a guy still waiting to hit his stride.

He sure was frustrating early in his career. Now, we just need to get QB going.

Oct 19, 2024 :

* Drake Batherson having a wonderful start to the season - 2 goals, today - 6 points in 5 games.

* Logan Stankoven with 2 assists, today. Calder anyone?

* LAF with an early goal.

* Tom Wilson with the strong start - but no one would ever consider putting him on Team Canada.

* Logan Mailloux with his first goal - but no one would ever consider putting him on Team Canada.
In 2 games, LM has one goal and one assist.
