Blackhawks at the 2024 IIHF World Championships

[WarriorofTime]

I’m hearing rumors that Bedard will play for Canada and Jones will play for USA at the upcoming worlds in Prague. Expect better turnouts for both with Olympics on the horizon.

Why would any national team want any if these bums?

They are limited to players not in the postseason.

Good for all three of these guys. Clearly our three best players

Expecting Kurashev for the Swiss and Mrazek for the CZE to play

Good turnout expected for USA.

Nice to see that there's some recognition about how good Vlasic has become.

It is super cool to see him get a chance to play.

The Athletic had an article last month ranking the best defensive defensemen in the league and they had Vlasic #2 in the entire NHL.

He's top 5 for sure, IMO. Most would probably say top 10, though. Considering the team he's on, that's some high ass praise.

Vlasic should have a chance at some solid minutes. Definitely eating up the pk time out there too. If the Canucks drop out Quinn Hughes could make team USA to join his brother and crowd that blue line up. But regardless, Vlasic has earned a spot and should do well there. Maybe Nazar joins him for the experience as an extra forward? You never know...

$9.5 on team U.S.A=losers for sure.

Which Bedardxwill we see at the WHC?

The one who fizzled over ladtc14 games ...mustering justc1xgoal and only a few assists...or the playerxwexsaw before that?

Doesn’t seem like anyone here is aware : Bedard played yesterday in a tune up game against Austria. Played with Bunting and McCann

I only saw about 30 mins but he wasn’t great. Didn’t stand out much all, turned over the puck a bunch and ran around defensively. A couple zone entries but deferrred a lot.

Hoping he turns it up for the real thing

As always, mixed feelings about Hawks players not resting up and risking injury in the off season.

They’ll be plenty rested considering they no showed most of the games during the season.

Depends on the player. Bedard I'm glad to have play with some talent and compete for something. Reichel go home get a therapist and come back in August head on right and in fantastic shape.

Bedard is kinda broken right now for some reason. He needs some time at the cottage. Although now that I say that he’ll probably go 2.5 PPG in the tourney.
