WJC: 2015 — Canada Roster Talk (Part III)

[leafsfuture]

Oh god no.

Dal Colle definitely wasnt good today.... but caaaamon. He has skill to be a difference maker in the bottom 6.

Like seriously we have struggled to get depth scoring in recent years and you cut him??? I mean guys like Virtanen and Ritchie are the types of guys who have gone missing in big games

How big of a surprise is Dal Colle getting cut?

Not too surprising IMO.

He has skill, but he's been lacklustre.

Michael Dal Colle:

23GP/21G/25A/46P

Currently riding 15 game point streak (16G/16A/32P)

THE best player and THE main game breaker on the # 1 team in the CHL

I know I'm simply echoing what everyone here is posting about, but how in the world is this guy NOT a lock on this team. My goodness. Like someone else said...if Crouse/Ritchie/Dickinson etc make it over him then we have a problem with player selection.

So uh this is awkward

 

[leafsfuture]

With all due respect, when Michael Dal Colle gets cut before Frederik Gauthier we have issues.

And I like Gauthier on this team, he has his role but this is a joke

 

[DrJenniferHanson]

Would be disappointed if Crouse/Gauthier make it over Dal Colle.

 

[asdfman]

WTF is going on???

 

[Snippit]

WOW. He didn't have a great game but I would have at least given him another chance against Sweden...

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

hit many shin pads, you could tell it was coming around.... definitely was the harder of the cuts i would assume, tough but some have to go

But at the expense of who though........that is the question.

 

[SI90]

Sucks that Dal Colle got cut. I really wanted to see him in the big stage. Thought he was a no brainer with his size skill and shot. Just goes to show how deep and talented TC is.

 

[199991]

He just hasn't proven he had the speed to perform well at this level, Groulx seems to want a fast team. I'd cut Ritchie before Dal Colle though

 

[Patmac40]

Fleury

They play different positions. So its not comparable. Players like Point and Virtanen can fill that third line role. What kind of impact do you expect from Dal Colle from the 4th line.

 

[Lehner]

Fleury cut.

Very surprised with this one, thought he was great in the summer camp and had a fine game tonight.

[DoubleDouble*]

I am really shocked. I thought he looked alright tonight, and great at other times. He's the 2nd or 3rd best player in the OHL right now. He should be on the team.

 

[Jtown]

Fleury

next years d no experience.

 

[ZeroPT*]

Gauthier over Dal Colle is laughable. Honestly disgusting.

 

[chaosrevolver]

And Fleury cut! Wow! Not what I expected.

What do you expect? French coach will pick a French player.

 

[684]

Dunno how you cut Dal Colle

 

[TheOllieC]

Fleury got cut? That's insane. He was much better than both Heatherington and Morin.

 

[684]

What do you expect? French coach will pick a French player.

This is why Canada won't win... again.
