TSN: 2013-14 WJHC selection camp roster(Canada)

[JagrBomber]

No Flames prospects on WJC Camp Roster.

Title pretty much says it all. Pretty pissed Poirer and even Klimchuk isn't even going to get a look. I can understand Jankowski not making it as he is an college player.

That ****ing ******, Shinkaruk is going, too.

Other than my anger of my homers not making it, it looks like a pretty deadly roster.

Some questionable decisions. A lot of notables not invited.

Poirier not on the selection roster surprised me since he plays gritty and can score. Nurse not being on it was a surprised but as Abottsford Heat mentioned in another thread, there may have been a reason for it.

Klimchuk was hurt in the final game, will he even be ready for camp?

Poirier I think is in the same boat as Darnell Nurse. Good player but due to sometimes being overaggressive could be a liability on the international stage. I knew Thursday before the final game against the Russians that Nurse would not be invited, for the reasons I just stated. IMO Poirier also fits that explanation so I am not upset because I was fortunate enough to be privy to inside info that showed me a bit of the thought process.

And in yet another thread I suggested Poirier was left off for similar reasons, he plays a sometimes uncontrolled game that can be a liability on the big ice with European officials. Poirier plays with an edge and sometimes straddles the line here in North America, in the WJC his borderline hits could easily lead to 5 minute majors and possible suspensions.

The only Flames prospects I'm seeing there are Ekblad and McDavid

 

[MonahanTheMan]

Now I really want Monahan to play, just so we can have another reason to watch the WJC...

 

[Flamesfan13]

Looks like a hard working bunch of guys. Can't wait to see McDavid and what he is all about.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Funny the same thoughts crossed my mind.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Gillies and Sieloff.... Team USA.... no nvm. this sucks

At least we wont feel so bad when Canada plays against Gillies

 

[TheHudlinator]

Gillies and Sieloff.... Team USA.... no nvm. this sucks

I feel real bad telling you he is hurt and not going.

 

[Sean Monahan]

McDavid and Sam will shine together again...this time on the big stage! They were dynamic (on a line with Klimchuk!) at the U18.

Hudon-Drouin-Mantha (worked pretty well in SSS)
Laughton-McDavid-Reinhart (a REALLY skilled line with two dynamic two-way wingers)
Horvat-Petan-Rychel (Petan needs to play center to show his dynamic stuff, all three are two-way players)
Anderson-Gauthier-Lazar (defensive/grind line)
ex. Shinkaruk for powerplays because he's pretty good with that

thank me later when you win the gold TC

 

[Lunatik]

Gillies and Sieloff.... Team USA.... no nvm. this sucks

Sieloff will not be back in time for the WJC so he will not be going.

The only Flames prospects in the WJC this year will be Gillies and maybe Rafikov

 

[Lunatik]

I feel real bad telling you he is hurt and not going.

technically he is infected and not hurt

 

[TheHudlinator]

It sucks not having Poirier going but I understand the reason to not bring him. There isn't a place for a pest type forward in international tournaments.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Lets go Canada!

I'm disappointed Team Canada didn't give Poirier a look. I was looking forward to watching him as I don't get to watch much of the Q. Having said that, I'm glad to see that Flames fans have the decency to cheer for their own country and not jump ship simply because a prospect wasn't picked for the team. Here's to a good tournament from the boys in red!

 

[Zirakzigil]

There are some surprises on that camp roster. Definitely a softer lineup then what has gone in the past.

I know. Reread my post and I mentioned that

I took it as you only talking about my Nurse comments, not my Poirier ones since they were in different threads.

I still hope Gillies wrecks that tournament, but if the US happens to lose to Canada in a one goal gold medal game, I'd be okay with that.

 

[DFF]

I see Sam Reinhart

You should see the oilers board. They are in shambles over nurse not being on that team.
