Are we going to see another half assed attempt on the part of Hockey Canada in 2015 as we saw in 2014. (Granted an Olympic year, so I'll cut them some slack)
But last year there was no training camp held in Canada. The team flew to Switzerland, 2 days of practice, 2 pre-tournament games and then travelled on to Minsk to open the tournament. With the lack of preparation was anyone really surprised by the results?
The NHL season ends April 11. The Tournament opens May 1. Not a whole lot of time to prepare and only 1 rd. of the NHL playoffs will be concluded by the time the tournament starts.
based on silly notion that there are no rejections (silly me) due to injury or Jerome Iginla syndrome (blocking Hockey Canada's telephone #)
1. I'd rather not include Simmonds, but can't come up with a better option from non-playoff teams.
2. I'm counting on San Jose losing in the 1st rd. and 3 sharks flown in as the only late additions from teams making an early exit.
3. No way Luongo plays, but who knows, maybe he wants to try and win his number 1 spot back from Price for the World Cup (if that ever happens)
4. No Edmonton Oilers.
