Sadly, the Jets have robbed Connor of his ability to play with any center other than Mark Scheifele...
Possibly …. He’s a sniper not a grinder so this might not be a great format for him.
( A few of the Jets forwards fall into that category)
This is physical no room to move…playoff like hockey…especially playing physical games like the US plays against Canada.

I hope Hockey Canada looks at some of their choices and we don’t get a repeat of this stuff in the Olympics next year.

Cirelli should be nowhere near this team. Parayko has been washed for years. Jarvis is a good young player but way too much talent was left off this team for him. Bennett has been fine but he’s not at this level. Doughty had a good season last year but he’s in his mid-30s and coming off a long-term injury, not sure he’s a good pick. Airlifting in Harley as the #8 is silly considering what our other options are (he played well against the Americans I thought, though). The goaltending roster choices were stupid and going all-in with Binnington when he’s been a sieve all tournament is moronic. There’s been other dumb lineup choices like playing Stone with McDavid and Point when those two guys can fly and Stone can barely skate these days. Way too much nepotism/politics behind this roster makeup, again.

The US made some suspect decisions too like leaving Robertson off the team in favour of Trochek and Nelson but Hockey Canada has done a lot to put us behind the eight-ball from the word go.
With the Olympics being on international ice, there should be some definite changes.

Guys like Bennett and Cirelli may not be the best choices for a rink that will require better skaters.
 
Lots of ED products being pitched lately.
I gave in and got the cream product.
It doesn’t work but it’s great for firm handshakes

A number of forwards on Canada struggling with the pace.
Konecny, Cirelli, Jarvis, Hagel hustle but not fast or skilled enough to do damage.

Should've had guys like Scheif, Hyman, Byfield, Celebrini, Fantili, Wilson.
That’s quite a roster of omissions

I would have loved to see Wilson against the Douche brothers. But would he keep up?
