WC: TEAM CANADA 2023

[jj cale]

Seems they decided to get Levi some work.

Yeah you were right and as usual with him.........he is tracking the puck well, he's right on it.

Feels like the Canadian defense will give him a lot of practice.

Case in point.

Defensively they look like the under 18 team recently on display. It'll get better.

It was a nice deflection from Weegar by the looks of it.

This Hungary team lost 0-4 to Slovenia a few days ago and 0-3 to none other than Japan, so the scoreboard isn't looking very good. SOG are 27 each.

typical stuff with a totally unprepared Team Canada in their first game.


But I'm sure by now you guys are aware of this, at least you should be.

It's been almost my entire lifetime that when Canadians will look rough in a pretournament game or like game 1 or 2 of the pool, they realize they need to shape up, give their heads a shake and then they play better. I expect the same.

It would be nice if this team had at least one game breaker though, this team will really need to come together more so then usual because it's lacking some real talent.

Did they leave a spot open or were Hunt and Carcone the last adds?

I think they have one spot left?

 

[Chainshot]

Glass, appropriately enough, with the ENG. His line has really worked well today.

 

[tade]

I think they have one spot left?

I believe they have 2 spots left - 1 forward, 1 defenseman

 

[Eye of Ra]

Why is Bedard not there? He would be the best forward on the team

 

[jj cale]

I believe they have 2 spots left - 1 forward, 1 defenseman

And they will really need them to be good adds.

Makar and Crosby are free!

 

[jj cale]

Makar and Crosby are free!

Makar isn't allowed to play (which is straight bullshit IMO) and no way is Crosby playing.

Barrie and Mackinnon?

Doughty and Marchand?

Doughty and Marchand?

Please...................I can't get my hopes up at his stage of my life, I'm not 20 anymore.

Team Canada put out a link for a Hungarian feed.

 

[JackSlater]

Barrie and Mackinnon?

Doughty and Marchand?

Orr and Gretzky?

Bourque and Lemieux?

They are getting a bit long in the tooth but We'll take em!!

 

[Playmaker82]

He declined.

 

[Playmaker82]

Typical Canada pre-game. All new set up, not top notch timing and chemistry. But the line with Glass/Crouse was good. The main goal is just to get a game under the belt, and get some feels.

And yes, they have two spots open. But Marchand, MacKinnon, Crosby will not come. 99%. It could be more like O'Reilly or Bunting I would guess. Defence is ok enough. But they need a good proven goalscorer from NHL.

 

[Jimmy71]

If the Devils lose out I'm thinking Mercer will be a good forward option and possibly/hopefully Severson on defense
