WC: Team Canada 2024

[ORRFForever]

They’re not meaningless to those other nations, and that’s good for the global game.

That's true but I don't care about the global game. The WJR's has 4 RR games - 2 are usually good, 2 are garbage. At the WC, double that. For me, it's just too much.

Does anyone have the game plan for Great Britain yet?

Will Canada need one?

Score more goals.

According to this insider, Canada is still waiting for one BIG NAME.

My bet is Pietrangelo, Doughty or Dobson

It's Tavares. But yeah, Canada still has one empty place on the roster.

They are waiting for someone else, Tavares is already in Zurich lol, its not him they are waiting for

Started out slow but getting to be an extremely strong roster.

That's possible.

But that tweet was about Tavares. Someone from the staff said that they're waiting for a big player but they can't name him because of he's on the road (at that time). 20 minutes after that or so Dreger posted that tweet with Tavares.

Yes, the tweet definitely was about Tavares. When you are in Zürich, it means precisely that you are on the road from Canada to Prague.

Wow, John Tavares is a huge add for Canada in my opinion. Where does he slot into the lineup?

Definitely on the top 2 lines. He can play either a C or a winger, so hard to predict exactly. I would expect him on the wing of the 2nd line, but really tricky to predict.

 

[FriarChill]

Nice add. One last spot available, i doubt canada adds another forward (if canada even plans to use that spot).
Would love Doughty to join.

In the words of the late great Bob Cole (RIP) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Baby!

Didn't see Tavares coming at all, this years playoff debacle really must have left a sour taste in his mouth.

I love J.T., would have preferred a mid-20s upcoming player like Suzuki showing up at least once. But he's being a Doughty.

JT was supposed to come in 2019 before bowing out to injury so good to see him make way here. Instantly bolsters the center depth at this level.

I like him too, not the player he once was but he can still score goals and he's a good veteran to have.

Opening day power rankings. McKenna will be MVP next year.

 

[JackSlater]

Respect for Tavares going over, it's been a while but he was always good internationally. Hope he can end things on a much better note. I assume he will be the captain. I'd also think that at this point he's going to be on the wing but Canada has roughly 37 left wingers on this team so who knows.

Pretty deep forward group now, I like it.

 

[garbageteam]

That was totally unexpected and welcomed. I doubt there is anyone else, Canada usually doesn't pack the entire roster full, but we'll see. Another top name Dman would be a massive add. On paper this is the best team we've brought over in a long time.

 

[jigglysquishy]

I'm curious once the games get tight.

Tomorrow's GB game should be a drumming.
