The defence that Canada just iced didn't even medal for the first time in decades.

Ones that Ive been talking about since the beginning of time.

Corrado is meh, Ceci is meh.

Hamilton(who had a worse tourney than Riellly) should be no where near the top pairing.

Tell Murray to heal quick and then roll with
Rielly-Murray
Hamilton-Ouellette
Harrington-Reinhart
/Pouliot

Done. Lol

I don't think Harrington is eligible, could be wrong though. Same with Hamilton and Ouellet.

If he's not, you can go with someone like Dumba, Pulock, Koekkoek, etc.

Oh I did a redo for this previous one (plus did some magic voodoo to heal Murray) Next years will look different for sure.

Also I'd like to see Finn given a chance. I'm sick of seeing Murphy and Hamilton trying to shoot from the point only to miss the net or shoot at the goalies chest

Pfff.

So basically the same team + Murray and Rielly on the top line.

Yeah.

I expected that on this board.

While we're at it ... Percy needz to be on the team.

Notice how there is no Murphy?

Also, take out Spott as well.

It wasn't the roster, we had the best one in the whole tourney. It was their on ice performance due to stupid coaching and puck hogging players.. Cough cough Murphy playing 30 mins a game

Your avatar describes you too well.

It's not like Finn is playing at a PPG pace or anything, right?

And the forward selection had nothing to do with it?

Let me guess...

Leivo, Brown, and Broll should have made the squad.

Your a ****ing genius, someone get this guy a cookie.

Did you see our firepower up front? RNH, Strome, Huberdeau, Rattie, MacKinnon, Schiefele, Drouin, etc.

Not sure how you can question our forwards other than our 4th line. Which wouldn't of scored us 5 goals to beat USA anyways. Spott was obviously the problem by misusing the players in their improper roles. Murphy being on the ice half the game was a large mistake. MacKinnon on the 4th line was a large mistake. Breaking up MacKinnon/Drouin was a large mistake, etc.

I'm not blaming it all on Spott, it's also the players fault (obviously), but he was a large factor in Canada's lacklustre performance.

I feel like this team would have been a lot better with the steadying influence of Murray in the back but alas.

You are not getting it Bomber0104, just like Pierre McGuire could not understand that "can you believe it?!" was a rhetorical question. Around these parts it is not about accepting failure, as much as it is about playing the blame game or 'what if' to avoid the problem. Believe me, it'd be nice to get past step 1, which is to admit you have a problem. In this case, that'd be that Canada was not the best team, and that they were inadequate in every single category. This was a collective failure.

Forwards, defence, and goal.

Correct.

Forward...pansies.

Defence...pansies (and I'm sorry to say..but Rielly was a part of that)

Goalie... inadquate.

You aren't sorry to say that. You are ecstatic. I have never seen you say one positive thing about Rielly. Ever.

But wouldn't that be almost admitting that Murray was the best D-man in the draft this year (next to Trouba)?

I refuse to believe it.
Click to expand...

Murray was the best defensive Dman in the draft.
Rielly was the best offensive Dman in the draft.

Trouba could possibly be the best overall Dman in the draft, but right now I'd say its Murray. One tourney doesn't make or break a player

I'd have personally taken Trouba but that is just my preference for all-round players (like Ryan Murray) and not pure offensive players.

Phil Kessel types.
