Olympics: Team Canada 2022, Part III

[DieselPig]

I have absolutely zero interest in watching olympics without NHLers.. that roster is not good.

 

[MasterPecno]

Oh boy , looks old and slow. Am I wrong ?

Old and slow for the NHL but probably not old and slow for the reject hockey olympic tournament.

Team Canada Olympian David Desharnais what a time to be alive

 

[wetcoast]

Pretty underwhelming team to say the least.

 

[Shak19]

I like that McTavish, Power and Levi are on the team

 

[brendhan garrels]

Pretty underwhelming team to say the least.

Its not like any other teams in this tournament are all the great. this team should contend for Gold

I don't see that happening. But not much use in complaining now, after NHL pulled out these are some of the best options for Canada. Medal would surprise me.

It's better than the last one.

People sure love to complain eh. Man this thread stinks. There aren't any NHLers going, did you hear? Jesus. For non NHLers that's a good team. Gonna be fun to watch McTavish and Power. I hope Levi starts. Thought Kent Johnson was going. Guess not.

Yeah you're an expert on every league in the world? That's incredible you're familiar with every single roster. Bravo.

I thought players with an NHL contract couldn’t play? Good to see McTavish none the less

Maybe because it slid, it counts as not having a contract? That’s just my guess

What were you expecting exactly? I'd love to see peoples teams that they think should have been picked.

Yes it probably is but man that's a really low bar

I think that Kent Johnson isn't ready but I'm excited for Power, McTavish and especially Levi to be sure.

Maybe it's the whole Covid thing or the Bejing thing or the NHLers not going and the lack of best on best or heck maybe that it was a dreary cloudy foggy day in January but I'm just not that excited about Olympic hockey this year.

The won Bronze......

You said it's underwhelming. Did you not know the NHLers weren't going?

Let's see your team.

Fair comment but honestly I'd rather send over more young guys with something to prove than Eric Staal.

Yes I know that NHLers aren't going but read my previous post as that's how I'm feeling today about it.

Eric Staal has a gold medal and a cup. He is probably going to be captain, great player to have with the young guys. They're trying to win.

 

[Czechboy]

Definite medal contender.. I think Ho Sang is going to put up points and be quite good. Power and McTavish were too good for the U20. I was hoping to see Dubnyk and Marleau's names to be honest. Happy for Staal.

Semi's at least.

 

[Deebs]

Are people actually going to watch this? It's like the Spengler Cup but much worse

 

[Nunymare]

Fairly sure that Johnson is/was listed as an alternate.

 

[ryan callahan]

Funny how many people do not care about winning gold. Best possible team was picked.

If Canada Makes the Gold Medal game for sure lol

Not going out of my way to, but if Canada or USA is on and I'm awake and free I might check it out.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Old and slow for the NHL but probably not old and slow for the reject hockey olympic tournament.

Technically, Power rejected the NHL... at least for this season

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Well, Team Canada did take quote a few NCAA players. They just played there 10 years ago.

Russians have all the KHL players, they will bee clear cut contenders, imo. Followed by Swedes, Finns, Czeczhs who should be able to form good teams for this level from their local leagues.
