WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk

[OttawaOilers]

I'm just so excited!!!

 

[WayneSid9987]

I've watched quite a bit of Jarry.
Always a good battler and calm in between the pipes.
Probably the best of all Canadian tenders at playing the puck as well.
Oil Kings took a big hit on D this year and he's still playing very very good.

My feelings are, hey, atleast they took Comrie.

 

[PhilMick]

invite 4 to the selection camp! I don't get the big deal... you are permitted to name 3 goalies to the roster. HC insisting on only 2 is just them shooting themselves in the foot, AGAIN. If they invite only 2 (Fucale being 1) and give the #1 spot to him only because he's a returnee, and TC goaltending proves to be subpar again, I know I'll be busting a gut laughing at the incompetent boobs working at Hockey Canada. because they have clearly demonstrated a great deal of incompetence over the past several years and tournaments, but this will certainly be their Pièce de résistance. (and it's by no coincidence I finished this post in French.)

Yeah...unless McDavid comes back and blows up the tourney, I think we'll see the drought continue this year.

I'm sure Hockey Canada is more interested in how many points you get in a AA league for normal sized people.

Lol'd pretty hard

@NYP_Brooksie: Appears as if Duclair will be scratch to accommodate Kreider return v. Lightning tonight

Hopefully they loan him

 

[CaptainChef]

Fucale looked so fantastic last year, makes sense to gift him the job this time around.

What planet did you just arrive from? He was the 6th best goalie at last year's tournament -- is that supposed to be fantastic!

[smokes lets go]

Crouse is a bit of a surprise, especially considering his teamate Mckewon didnt get an invite

 

[GuillaumeLetsundress*]

Crouse over Marner has me scratching my head, guess they want to fill the roles but hmmm

 

[JayKing]

No Greg Chase either who seemed like a HC favorite up until now. I personnally didn't want him though

 

[J1mLahey]

I know all the negative attention Ho-Sang gets via the media and what not, but do you guys feel as though his play and SSS that he at least deserved a shot at this camp?

 

[KyleMills*]

crouse - gautheir - ritchie? Was I right or was I right

 

[JayKing]

I know all the negative attention Ho-Sang gets via the media and what not, but do you guys feel through his play and SSS that he at least deserved a shot at this camp?

Definitely

Apparently he has a bad attitude. We don't care about gold or scoring goals we just care about your attitude. I don't get it.

 

[Aceonfire*]

No Chase.. He was great at SS both years.

That situation with the Hitmen likely hurt his chances as HC is based out of Calgary.

 

[WayneSid9987]

LOL
They really only picked 1 true RHD?

 

[KyleMills*]

Another year of bronze

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Crouse over Marner has me scratching my head, guess they want to fill the roles but hmmm

It's kind of outrageous. No reason that Crouse should be the only non-McDavid 17 year old present.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Chartier
Crouse
Dickinson
Elie
Gauthier
Point
Paul


.

Suprises for me.

 

[JayKing]

LOL

Good thing Babcock isn't in charge

Then again, I don't think Detroit even has a RHD

 

[HarrisonFord]

LOL

Weird, there's actually only 5 total right hand shots on the entire roster

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Not really mad at any of the selections. Is Ho-Sang that much better then every player on the roster that not having him on the team is going to sink us?

 

[KyleMills*]

Chartier and Elie over Ho Sang?
