WJC: Canada 2018 Roster Talk

[coolwood]

4-3 USports after scoring with 6.5 seconds left.

Hart = 2 on 10 shots
Point = 2 on 6 shots
Harvey = 2 on15 shots
Dipeitro = 1 on 5 shots

It felt like there were more shots than that on in the second half of the game. Especially against DiPietro but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention

 

[ChurchOfAlfie]

Lots of praise for Formenton from media guys on twitter. Looks like he's definitely playing himself on the team.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Hart = 2 on 10 shots
Point = 2 on 6 shots
Harvey = 2 on 15 shots
Dipeitro = 1 on 5 shots

Klague and Timmins have been good.

Thank you

The goalies looked good yesterday and seem to not look good today based on the above

I guess

 

[coolwood]

The Gadjovich-Steel-Kyrou line was good IMO

I think they'll cut 3 forwards though.

I'll say the cuts are Kaspick, Ang, Lind or Batherson, Cholowski, Ferraro (although the fact Bob gave him praise makes me think he heard something from the HC brass) or Mahura, and Harvey

 

[Breakers]

Predictions for cuts:
1) Kaspick
2) Harvey
3) Stanley
4) Comtois

 

[SpItFiReZ]

McKenzie just mentioned how CHL has a rule where the goalies chosen must both play. In theory, Hart, DiPietro and Point could all make it.

Cuts at 815-830

According to the tweeter The best line this afternoon was Comtois - Thomas - Batherson.. Suzuki and Formenton also showed some nice things

Best line as in scoring chances or defensive play. Some lines can cycle well

funny how Comtois is best fwd line while Lafreniere is still in the Q.....

Harvey was best goalie in russia-canada series and been excellent


Mete was bad today..no surprise as he was losing every battle in NHL and was not provinding any kind of offense...guys is out of sync right now...should be sent to minors...oh well

Why is Lafreniere being in the Q funny? He's almost three years younger than Comtois.

 

[Scouter]

Bob impressed with Timmins, which is a name not been talked much about.

Becuz Lafreniere has been way better than Comtois in the Q. Dominating the ICE. Great defensively and the anchor of his line with another youngster. Dove-McFalls been OK...they played better with Voyer another 16 years old...

I'm telling you...Lafreniere is better than Comtois RIGHT NOW

Oh, yea, that's totally cool. I thought you meant that Lafreniere not being there was an indication that he wasn't good.

Not sure if this is a slight towards Lind or not.

He was dominating the WHL before getting mono, and has just come back. He actually played the last 8 games or so before getting proper diagnosis, in which games he obviously struggled.

I think getting mono, already being a string bean, will cost him a spot on the squad.

Not a slight. I really like Lind, but it looks (unfortunately) like he might be getting cut today. Hence the pic.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

I never watch the WJC but if Ferraro isn't cut from the team I just might start with this one.

Is Canada going to take three goalies this year?

 

[Scouter]

1st cuts in 15 mins.

 

[Scouter]

Point said it's his dream to play for TC.

LOL.

 

[JackSlater]

I was gonna say. Weren't you the guy who said he'd be shocked if Comtois made the team

I may have been. I wasn't expecting Comtois to make it, but I have no problem stating that he played well in the first exhibition game. I didn't see the second game so I have no idea if he played well there.

Point said it's his dream to play for TC.

Maybe as of last night.
