Your country WJC all-time line-up?

[Albatros]

Not sure about the full roster, but Finland's top line almost has to be,

Puljujärvi-Aho-Laine

Tikkanen-Helminen-Mäkelä in '84 and Tikkanen-Keskinen-Mäkelä in '85 were great lines.

 

[JackSlater]

Despite what people think of him now, Lafreniere should probably make team canada. He was dominant in that tournament.

You're right, I meant to have him there but then he got lost in the shuffle. Good call.

 

[Shawn Heins 44]

Which one?

You damn well know which one! I was born in 84, so that should give you a hint

 

[MTU34]

I’ll go post 2010 for the US since that was when 8 year old me discovered the tournament

Zegras 21 - Stepan 10 - Gaudreau 13
Tkachuk 16 - Matthews 16 - Keller 17
Bellows 18 - Mittelstadt 18 - White 17
D’Amigo 10 - Cooley 23 - Snuggerud 23
Extra: Poehling 19, Terry 17

Werenski 16 - Mcavoy 17
McCabe 13 - Trouba 13
Carlson 10 - Jones 13
Extra: Sanderson 21, Fox 17

Gibson 13

You wouldn't be able to fit this team in the NHL under the cap. US Players get paid!

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Not having Bedard on Canadas top line is nuts

 

[Nucks2001]

Despite what people think of him now, Lafreniere should probably make team canada. He was dominant in that tournament.

Too many good options on Canada to waste a selection on him. Others have had better tournaments as well. Same reason you don’t see Brayden Schenn, Cody Hodgson, Max Domi, or Anthony Duclair on here.

Disagree I think laf was by far the best at that tournament. He was making the other players look like children.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

No idea where you'd fit him but Kessel was so much fun to watch for me at his Juniors. 2005 ish.

Phil ran into those Juggernaut Russia (Malkin and Ovechkin) and Canada teams. Could have included Kessel but it was tough to come up with my team. Left a bunch of players off between 2004-2024.

D’Amigo was great in 2010.

 

[Voight]

I'll give it a try for Canada...


Paul Karya '93 - Sidney Crosby '04 - Jordan Eberle '10
Adam Graves '88 - Eric Lindros '91 - Jarome Iginla '96
Jason Botterill '96 - Mike Peca '94 - Martin Lapointe '93
Everett Sanipass '87 - Patrice Cormier '10 - Todd Harvey '95

Greg Hawgood '88 - Patrice Brisebois '91
Scott Niedermayer '92 - Alex Pietrangelo '10
John Slaney '92 - Ryan Ellis '11

Manny Legace '93
Carey Price '07

Just wondering, how could you have possibly omitted Connor Bedard '23?

 

[NordiquesForeva]

A different take on it - an all-time Canadian team comprised of players who never reached stardom in the NHL, beginning in ~1990. Emphasis on key players on gold medal teams.

Chyzowski (90) - Hodsgon (09) - Harvey (94, 95)
Dawes (04, 05) - Murray (94, 95) - Stewart (04, 05)
Daze (05) - Dube (96, 97) - Craig (90, 91)
Downie (06, 07) - McCauley (96, 97) - Rice (90, 91)

Rivers (95) - Bourdon (06, 07)
Parent (06, 07) - Tully (93, 94)
Slaney (91, 92) - Baumgartner (95, 96)

Storr (94, 95)
Legace (03)

Bench:
F - Botterill (94, 95, 96)
F - Gendron (93, 94)
F - Tkaczuk (98, 99)
D - Colaiacovo (02, 03)
D - Jackman (00, 01)
G - Fiset (90)

 

[Macman]

How can anyone propose a Canadian team without Gretzky on it? Eric Daze and Marty Murray, both from the ‘95 team, should also be on it. And, of course, Bedard.
