WC: TEAM CANADA 2023

[jj cale]

Scott Salmond is a size queen

Gotta roll with it, now that he is on the team it's time to have loochs back.Clearly there has been massive declines but he's willing to play, he will get respect from me simply for that.

Give us what you got big fella.

 

[therealdeal]

Looch! Love it

 

[namttebih]

What about Tippet and Konecny?

 

[ORRFForever]

What about... Konecny?

Injury?

**

If QB or LAF don't end up on the team, I will stop rooting for them as players.

 

[JPeeper]

Will actively cheer against Canada for putting Lucic on the team. There are LITERALLY at least 200+ players who should be there before him.

He is worse than useless because he contributes positively for the opposing team.

This makes such great sense.

60 are still playing and the other 140 declined the invite. That's how Lucic ends up on a WHC team. And good for him for showing up. Respect for him. Not like Drew Doughty and his annual refusal for his entire career. (except for 1 year - his rookie year) to play a few games in May.

 

[Byfield]

I’d like to see Byfield play on this tournament

 

[Eye of Ra]

I'm not sure. I was even thinking that Tippitt would have been the more likely candidate. Breakout season - with pedigree, still young, rep'd Canada at U17, U18 and U20. He also finished the season very hot. You would think that he and HC would want to ride that.

Any Flyers fans with insight?

Also - what about Bedard? His season is over.

 

[namttebih]

If Coachella gets eliminated tonight, is Wright available for Seattle, or is there a chance that he heads to Europe for the WHC?

Veleno and McBain also confirmed.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Doughty is pathetic for his refusal to play IIHF WC. He would join Triple Gold Club with gold at this event. He really should play.

 

[jj cale]

Ah, the vaunted triple gold club appeal makes an appearance. Alas, it fails to make much if any impression at all on our players desire to play in this tournament..

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Doughty is pathetic for his refusal to play IIHF WC. He would join Triple Gold Club with gold at this event. He really should play.

The only triple he'll be going for is the 3x3 at In-N-Out.

 

[jj cale]

The only triple he'll be going for is the 3x3 at In-N-Out.

Better then 50-50 chance he will bump into Phil Kessel there.

 

[William H Bonney]

Jaret Anderson-Dolan saying he’d like to play if asked.

Sean Walker also said he would decline, focusing on his wedding this summer, while forward Gabe Vilardi joked that if Walker wasn’t going, he didn’t want to go either.

2023 Exit Interviews - Extension Talks, Injury Updates, World Championships Decisions - LA Kings Insider

Crazy how quickly we flip the switch. This morning, the Kings held their 2023 Exit Interviews at Toyota Sports Performance Center in El Segundo, just over 12 hours after the 2022-23 season came to an end in Game 6 yesterday evening. No sense in waiting. For the second straight season, the Kings...

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Lucic is a beast.

Don't mind that pickup at all.

 

[Gold Standard]

I would imagine Seattle would want him in Seattle. but hopefully Hockey Canada asks...maybe there is a chance.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Better then 50-50 chance he will bump into Phil Kessel there.

Phil will be going for the 4x4 as his post-game.

 

[namttebih]

What about McTavish?

They could form a really good team with recent grads of the U20 program.

Lucic will be fine. The competition is not NHL caliber

As the matter of fact, he’ll still be one of the better players in this tournament
