WC: Team Canada Roster Helsinki-Tampere 2022

What do you all think: When somebody registered on this page in late April 2022 and roughly 80 % of their posts are reproduction of Russian political propaganda, plus a few shouts about how meaningless is a tournament Russia was kicked out from - is that enough to consider that person a troll?

Pure coincidence I'm sure. Just a former site member posting under their second (or more) account. Nothing to see here other than good ol "MatBarzal".

Sing with me, B.I.N.G.O. B.I.N.G.O B.I.N.G.O and BINGO was his nameo.

And really looking forward to the PLD Barzal (the real Canadian Barzal) Batherson troika. They should light it up.

What I don't understand is why here on a hockey forum board of all places lol.

 

[Urbanskog]

Canada will have formidable opponents in the face of Great Britain, France and Austria at this tournament) It is prestigious to win such a World Championship

Interesting that you chose to list three teams of which Canada will in all likelihood face just one.

 

[JackSlater]

I certainly agree that the tournament would be better with Russia, but I'm doubtful that the logic that applies when the tournament has less value without Russia is applied elsewhere. When there were no NHLers, or when Canada didn't participate in the IIHF world championships or Olympics for most of the 1970s, surely those tournaments were also of little value.

It amazes me how many people come to an international hockey forum to talk politics and science.lol I get I'm all over here with geeky opinions on Czech hockey but at least I'm on topic.haha

Hate to hijack the agenda here but 1970? Try 1950 and on lol.

Looking forward to seeing the final roster and how the team plays.

I'm not referring to when Canada sent weak amateur teams, I'm talking about when Canada didn't even send teams at all for a few years in the 1970s.

I know. I remember that well and I still get angry thinking about it.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

What were the years in the 70's that Canada din't participate?

1970-1976.

 

[Gennay]

Anyone know when the team will arrive or where they will stay in Helsinki? Saw the Danish team in Märski earlier this morning. T

 

[MasterPecno]

Can we stop talking about Russian team here ? I don’t give a crap, let’s stick to the Canadian team. If you want to talk about Russian team then go on their thread.

[jaro]

So K. Johnson is in also .. good .. i think this team can play beautifull hockey

 

[Gold Standard]

Still room to add one player late if say some A lister wants to do a 2015 Sidney Crosby I want in, Coach phone call. but not expecting it. overall a pretty decent team.

 

[HockeyFan101]

Will be a tough team to play against. Nobody is under 6'0

 

[canuck2010]

If everybody comes together, I think this roster is good enough to win.

 

[Czechboy]

Worth repeating... gold contender and should probably make the finals at the very least. Good luck!

 

[Rabid Ranger]

That is a big team. Good mix. Gold contender for sure.
