Got to think Jamie McGinn will be there. Just can't see the 67's being the Petes, or I hope not to see it.

slumpy43 said:One of the most impressive feats of Tavares is that he had the most goals at even strenght in the OHL with 32. All of that at the tender age of 15!
HabLover said:I guess the question is; would you name him to the team even though he will basically be 2 yrs younger than everyone else? And this will be against the top '88's in the world.
Should Tavares be on the team?
TransportedUpstater said:It may be a moot point though, because as you said yourself, Canada tends to use this tournament for 18-year olds.
Is he good enough? Why not? It may not be in the best taste to put Tavares in there over an older kid, but talent-wise, this kid is really something special.
Toews was also named the Most Outstanding Player at the West Regional. 5 points in 2 games.USA! said:Toews and the Sioux are headed to the Frozen Four in two weeks..

Looking at that there probably isn't enough guys on there since many (possibly most) of them will be unavailable.

The Frozen four champioinship is April 8.HabLover said:When is the Frozen Four finished?
Team Canada will probably be naming their team around April 7th or 8th. Could Toews be done by then?
Okay, who was the ******* who included Azavedo on the list?HabLover said:From the teams eliminated so far, Toronto, Sault St. Marie, Saginaw, Bai-Comeau and Swift Current are there any front runners to be named?
kingpin_19 said:From the WHL-Mitch Fadden, Ben Maxwell and Ty Wishart. The Pat's have their back to the wall, so Logan Pyett may very well be joining them Tuesday. Added to the cast of Jordan Knackstedt, Keaton Ellerby, Victor Bartley and Kevin Armstrong. This is just a quick overview.

A couple of question marks at this point are Pyett and Bernhardt, as their team could still win their playoff series. I do not think Hockey Canada will name Jonathan Toews to the team even if he comes available. The same goes for John Tavares, I don't think he will be named, rather let him play at the Junior World Cup in August with all the '89's. Claude Giroux should be named if Gatineau loses tomorrow night. John Armstrong will be named if Plymouth loses.
