[S E P H]

If Hardy plays, he could potentially steal games.

Very underrated goaler.

 

[garbageteam]

Has Xavier Ouellet ever mentioned that he might consider the France NT? Is he eligible? He's listed as French under NHL.com instead of Canadian. Is Stephane Da Costa available to join?

Where is Sasha Treille?

Ouellet, played for Canada at the world Juniors. Ufa, Russia.

He already suited up for Canada so he will have to return to France for four years to play for them. And Da Costa is still with Binghamton in the AHL play-offs but they could be eliminated tonight.

Where is Sasha Treille?

Injured.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Injured.

That sucks. He is one of my favority players. He was good in Malmö.

What about Morant from NLA?

What about Morant from NLA?

He wasn't very good for France in the last events.
Took dumb penalties (for example during the Olympic qualifiers in Riga).

Benjamin Dieude-Fauvel (Quad City, CHL) could join the team, but we don't know if the coach will try him.

Morant is a very impulsive player.

The quality of his game does not necessarily compensate for the weight of the penalties he generates.

Very underrated goaler.

This season, he's been number 3 in term of pure quality of play IMO, Quemener has been better. I still see Hardy as the back-up behind Huer for the WC.

Agreed. Quemener has been strong this season, but Hardy has a little bit more experience (with his Russia win last season). Quemener was mostly a #3 in NT these past seasons. For example, he was in Slovakia in '11 but didn't play.

Hardy was pretty shaky in the exhibition game vs. Latvia, IIRC. Conceded 6 goals, didn't look very good.

 

[Belizarius]

France won yesterday vs Kazakhstan 3-1.
Goals by PE Bellemare, Ritz and Auvitu.

2 players will join the team soon :
D Benjamin Dieudé-Fauvel (Quad City, CHL)
C Stéphane Da Costa (Binghampton, AHL)

Probably means Baazi in defense and a forward will be cut.

 

[Belizarius]

Last friendly : 5-3 win vs Kazakhstan.
Goals : Desrosiers (2), T. Da Costa, Guttig, Fleury.

1st game for Dieudé-Fauvel.

 

[Belizarius]

Lampérier cut.

Last spot between Berthon and Bertrand TBD.

 

[Belizarius]

Bertrand is the last cut.
Berthon won the last forward spot.

 

[Slohockey]

No Hecquefeuille?

Even without Hecquefeuille and S. Treille, I think this team is good enough to stay in Elite Division. The crucial game will be against Italy.

Hecquefeuille and Sasha Treille are both injured.

 

[Bosse Berglund]

No Tim Bozon?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Bozon has a long way to go - recovering from meningitis.

[QuietContrarian]

Denmark is looking forward to the France game with great anticipation

Da Costa, you have not been forgotten.

One of the more intense friendlies I have ever watched.

 

[Eye of Ra]

What a ***** Da Costa is.

Put Oliver on him.

 

[YARR123]
