Not a very strong looking team this year. Might be the first time in a while where goaltending is our strongest position. Really lacking a few star forwards. Defense looks decent.

Although I'll be cheering for Canada I'm about 100x more interested in watching the Sweden games due to Pettersson and Dahlin.

Too bad about Lind, although I thought he looked pretty good in the parts of the game I saw, he also did make a couple bad passes in the offensive zone which probably didn’t sit well with hockey Canada.

Dont really care about the DiPietro cut. Hart is going to play until the wheels come off anyways.

Hell
Hockey Canada's roster is head scratching. No Glass, Suzuki, or Tippett. Could easily see this team having scoring problems.

Dipietro not making it makes sense considering Point and Hart both have great numbers this season.

Vancouver
Pettersson/Juolevi/Lockwood/Gadjovich

Plus all the 2018 draft eligible prospects. Should be a fun WJC for us.

DiPietro will likely be the starter next year. 2019 WJC is in Vancouver as well.

Canada centers look brutal
Have no idea who's going to score goals for Team Canada.....without guys like Suzuki, Glass, Lind and Tippett it's shaping up as a black hole offensively. Unless Carter Hart is all-world, can't see this team medaling at all....which won't do much for TSN's ratings over the holidays.

Thomas as 2c is probably the worst 2c weve ever had

Dipietro deserves to be on the WJC team. At least he cared which jersey he was putting on.
 

2011 still hurts
