That’s the only 99’s left. They went with an older camp roster for the most part. Cody Glass was the other 99 that was cut so far. It looks like there will be 2 forward cuts, 2 defensemen cuts, & a goalie cut to finalize the roster tonight.

Suzuki and DiPietro got cut. The others made it.

Bit of a preview from yours truly on the Flyers at the WJC.

Is Sam Steel really considered one of Canada's top scorers? Pronman has him listed next to Kyrou as Canada's top two scorers. I don't know anything about him other than he scored a ton of points last season (points wise looks average this season)

Every year I get excited for this and every year I recall disappointment when I can't find any of the games live on TV, outside of the USA games and the playoff rounds. Since it's in Buffalo this year, any chance American viewers might be able to see more games?

I seem to remember a lot of games being televised on NHL Network last year.

They televised every game on NHL Network last year. Some had to be joined in progress given the time restrictions though.

Then I must have been busy or my memory is going to shit.

Thanks guys.

There's always other ways to watch from a PC too.

Hogberg initially listed on a pair with Dahlin tonight in a exhibition vs. the USA. We'll see how they look and if it's a brief look before they jumble things up.

I hope not. I want Högberg to be the secondary assist king in this tournament.

Getting ready to play together for the Phantoms next season.

USA finalizes their roster. No surprise cuts this year.

 

[Caser]

As expected, Rubtsov made it to the Team Russia WJC roster.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Russia plays in a little more than a half an hour from now to kick things off.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Packed house for the opener.

3 eventful shifts for German so far

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Necas, I know he's not a Flyers player, has impressed me whenever I see him.

Hope German makes some damn good plays and scores a couple.

Not really sure why they took both of those guys that played in the Super Series.

So that's now two PPs and neither Rubtsov or his linemate Abramov are on either PP unit.

Okay. That's odd. Or is it?

 

[FLYguy3911]

I don't think they have PP units.

Chytil and Necas look really good. Rubstov continues to look ok (defensively responsible) but not like a 1st rd pick that's 19. Its early one period in but I was hoping for some flair in his game like the two mentioned above and Kostin

Pretty hilarious.

Kayumov and Sholokhov out there over him and Abramov is pretty funny.

 

[Magua]

I don't think they have PP units.

They just use lines on the PP. But clearly their line conveniently hasn't been used. Except with like 8 seconds left on the PP they got the PEB PP shift.
