Doesn't matter anymore who accepts or who declines. After last night's epic game 7, a game for the ages Sharks v VGK, no other hockey this spring can or will surpass that. not even a bunch of lunchbox noname Team Canada players pulling off the miracle upset and winning gold in Slovakia could come close to that. That was truly epic.

any word on the first 17 players...all the names that were rumored around a few weeks ago and now nothing??

What i think happened is that they asked the Backup players "Plan B" (to be ready in case) first and now they are asking the "Plan A" players...but i haven't seen any official links

Nope. Too early)
 
sucks that the Caps went out with a whimper. now we'll get posts about spots for Connolly and Wilson. Short answer - a big fat no to both.

Is Wilson not American?

nope. local Toronto kid. never liked him much. glad he turned himself into a useful NHLer...he's too dumb to play big ice.

Reilly Smith out of Vegas to play RW would be a much much better choice. or he can play LW. left handed shot and all.

just taking a look at the 2nd. rd. schedule. even if all go the full 7, they still end before tournament puck drop, so realistically we could still bring in quite a few significant players late before the team even plays game 1.

no need to hit the panic button just yet. I don't ever remember Hockey Canada bringing in a lot of players late, however, just 1 or 2. but maybe this year Hockey Canada is trying a new approach to tournament prep.
 
It's kind of sad that WC isn't a big event in NA. Here in Europe it's the biggest hockey event there is. Everybody watches WC, even those people who normally don't watch sports. News are 100% hockey WC during the cup and there is 4 hour studios before every Finland's game. We even have 2 in-game-announcers (i don't know the english word, the guy who is talking during the game). The other one is such a legend that they put him into the chargeable channel and even though the same network shows team Finland games (because of law orders it to) in free channel but in free side there is some other guy commentating the game. :D

Depressing to see all good Canadians declining their invites but on the bright side we all can bet tournament match up USA - Canada for USA with odds of 2,62 in Bet365. At this point it looks like the USA will be just as good as Canada, maybe even better. That would be first time ever in WC history.

Pretty much the same in Czech, Slovakia, Switzerland, Sweden and Latvia and Russia. I would still stay it’s getting little bit bigger in Canada while slightly less important in Europe. Perhaps it could be considered more important if it was every 2 years, 2021,2023 especially if NHL players compete at the olympics again.

I wish it was like that here in the UK! The back to back promotions that GB got wasn’t even shown on the news, the BBC reported nothing! Thankfully all GB games will be shown on TV (not by the crappy BBC lol) which is a step forward at least!
