WC: TEAM CANADA 2023

[ORRFForever]

If Lucic is in Canada top 6, then theres a massive problem with the team

True. If that is the case, we are DESPERATE !!!!

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Maybe he going as the hockey stick guy

Or future coach

Anyways , what sizes trowel can I use to lay ditra over plywood ?

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

The bubble was two years ago, and he was not good at all in that Edmonton series last year, he’s only regressed since then. That spot would be much better served for guys like Foerster, Hayton, McTavish, Johnson, Krebs, etc. provided that they ever accepted an invite.

Even if those guys did accept, they'd likely be top 6 or third line at worse. Kent Johnson got a ton of ice time last tournament, despite only having a handful of games played in the NHL

If I was building a list of the last players I'd ever select for this event, Lucic would be one of the first names to come to mind.

First line LW.

Do you mean "never"?

Nope I'm pretty sure you're reading it wrong.

"List of the last players I'd ever select"

i hope today they annouce Marchand - Crosby - MacKinnon line and i dont care if some lucic is or is not in roster

Fair enough - now I get what you were trying to say.

Expecting it at any moment now.

 

[Kibe]

Veleno and McBain also confirmed.

I was wrong about this. Right now they are only rumors like Matheson. And then there's Anderson-Dolan saying he wants to join and likely gets an invite.
So right now something like this?

X - Laughton - Toffoli
Crouse - McBain* - Quinn
Fantilli - Veleno* - X
Lucic - Anderson-Dolan* - X

Matheson* - Weegar
X - Bear
X - Myers

Levi
Montembeault

* Not confirmed.

Jake Walman was previously confirmed to be going to the Worlds (which was ambiguous as he was eligible for both Canada and the US) and is not on the Team USA roster. Presumably that means he chose the right country to play for and will be filling one of those open vacancies on the blueline

 

[Playmaker82]

If he and Matheson comes over the blueline is not so bad.

Weegar, Matheson, Walman, Bear, Myers & Mr.X.

I remember when Walman was going to play for USA at the WJC until the rules got in the way. Then he got injured and couldn't play for Canada either.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Let's see if our Canadian brethren can do better than the U.S. squad named today. The bar is low! LOL!

 

[Eye of Ra]

russian bear is ethan bear. his been trolling you guys all this time pretending to be russian

 

[PecnoTrunk]

I just went over to the USA chat and saw their roster.

It’s not a good roster but it is young. Canada roster won’t be any better.

Is walman going to be on this team Canada ?

It couldn't possibly be better with only 11 guys

It could be fun when Canada/USA host the WC, and all Europe teams just show up with Half Amateur teams, then see the reactions

 

[Playmaker82]

Apparantly seven players from Flames was asked to play in the WC.

Weegar, Toffoli, Lucic. And then probably Huberdeau, Mangiapane, Kadri and a mystery player.

After the season he had, I'm disappointed Huberdeau didn't offer to go.

He’s too busy playing hockey balle

It hasn't been hosted in North America since 2008, as far as I'm aware that's the ONLY time either Canada (it was in Halifax that year) or the USA has ever hosted it. Seems like Canada and the USA just aren't interested in making bids, as the other usual suspects have had multiple goes since then. It's the total opposite in the World Juniors, which feel like they're perennially in Canada or a border U.S. town.

Thats at deal IIHF have made sadly enough, all about the money. But still have a sport where the World championship is not seen as the world champion is ridiculous
