World Cup: Canada 4 Nations Tournament 2025 Roster Talk

[admiralcadillac]

Anything can happen in a short tournament, but Binnington, Montembeault and Hill are solidly below average. I would've dumped any one of them for Thompson.

McDavid and MacKinnon are pretty used to having suspect goaltending behind them though, so they know the drill.

It’s very rich to say you would’ve dumped any of them before Thompson when Thompson had equivalent stats than Hill last year and was not on anyone’s radar until this year. There’s a point where this conversation enters bad faith territory

good period

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Take marner off of that line with McDavid, he doesn’t look like
He knows how to play off him

He made a pretty nice pass to him right there

For all the complaining about Jarvis, he's looked good

Who could have seen that coming?

Certainly not @cneely

He was a beast all over the ice, made a great play on that goal.

Canes fan here. Jarvis is criminally under rated and should never have been questioned.

I have no problem with Jarvis. I've watched his career closely as a fellow Winnipeger. He's a fine player. He shouldn't be sniffing Team Canada.

If you really think that than you really haven't watched him that closely

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

This tournament is going to show the entire world in prime time that Makar couldn't defend if his life depended on it.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Great hockey overall. Intensity level was high, as everyone should have expected — I don’t know how people thought Crosby, McDavid, etc were going to represent their country with anything less than that.

Marner had a very rough first couple periods, but his passing started to shine a bit in the 3rd. Still not convinced he’s the right fit on that line, but I’ll give it another game.

MacKinnon in overtime was straight garbage. Such selfish play. His line was solid though, highlighted by Sid of course.

I’d like to see Makar activate more and play more aggressive, we have the 2-way forwards to cover for him.

I liked the bottom-6. Defense wasn’t great, and losing Theodore would be a big blow.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Hyman should be on this team.

 

[kanucks25]

Thought Parayko looked out of place. If Theodore is healthy I'd put Sanheim in for Parayko and move Theodore over to the right side.

Did not like Marner's game at all but he redeemed himself in OT. Same goes for Binnington.

Konency needs more discipline in his skating & decision making.

Agree with @ConnorMcMullet that I'd like to see Makar be a bit more aggressive but I think it's obvious a lot of players don't want to force things on this kind of team.

The lack of chemistry was evident throughout with some of the lines. Short tourny with no real warm up games, they should get a bit more cohesive as we go.

Or me.

Canada was lights out but then :

1) We stopped being aggressive
2) Sweden started playing well.

* Sid was amazing and was the first star.
* MacKinnon was terrific until he started trying to do it all himself in O.T..
* I said Jarvis would be great and he was.
* Marchand was terrific early but faded.
* Marner was hot garbage until late.
* Point was very good.
* Mark Stone was very good.
* Cirelli had a good game.

* McDavid wasn't very good.
* Binnington was average. Hill should play against the U.S.
* Makar looked unsure of himself. Makar wasn't being Makar. Not sure why. This game was meaningless. Why not let it all hang out?
* Not Parayko's finest game but give him time. He's a big boy out there.
* Reinhart did nothing.
* I was disappointed in Morrisey.

Anyone else???

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Damn shame.

 

[ORRFForever]

Theodore out. Who comes in?

If possible, bring in Weeger, Riley or Harley.

 

[red devil]

Theodore out. Who comes in?

Sanheim is the 7th dman

Sanheim

 

[PanniniClaus]

Damn shame.

Really sucks.

 

[red devil]

 

[Matty Sundin]

MacKinnon was frustrating as hell to watch that overtime. Just trying to do it all by himself.

 

[ORRFForever]

Sanheim is the 7th dman

I know but we will need to replace him when he moves up the lineup, right?

You can't replace anyone on your roster unless your team has less than 18 skaters

Pffft. Why? Ridiculous. The players are available.

The team should be allowed 3 spares.

Oh well, at least Sanheim is a BIG Lefty.

 

[red devil]

They are on vacation in Mexico and the Caribbean plus this was the agreement between the NHL and the PA. My guess was the PA didn't want to keep adding players after the tournament started
