[Alveio]

A part of Bellmare ... Will their be someone missing on the French roster ?

I don't think so. I'll have to check this out !

In french ... i guess it isn't a problem

 

[Bosse Berglund]

With Hamillton Bulldogs now eliminated from AHL will Tim Bozon play for France?

 

[jonas2244]

He says on twitter:

See ya later Canada,it's been a good year!! Now back to Europe for some much needed vacation at home!…

So I guess he won't play for France.

 

[Bookker]

Nope Tim won't play for the national team this year... but next year probably

France Vs. Switzerland tonight 19:30 @Grenoble
Hope to see a great game

 

[jonas2244]

Hm, I wouldn't bring Quemener at the wc.

 

[Belizarius]

Hm, I wouldn't bring Quemener at the wc.

Yep, 2 weak goals in an overall good performance from France. Switzerland stole this one thanks to these 2 mistakes.

 

[Belizarius]

6-5 OT win for France vs Switzerland for the last preparation game.
Stephane DaCosta with 1G, 4A.
Antoine Roussel with 2G (GWG) and 2A.
Auvitu and Desrosiers had 3 points as well, and Bertrand scored again.

Who was in the net for France today ? Nice result for France, as I said earlier in this thread, I wouldn't be suprised at all if France reaches QF again. Allez, Allez...

Great game in my great hometown of Lyon

It looks like Stephane DaCosta continues being a beast.

Do you think he'll stay in KHL and play for CSKA next season ?

 

[Omotenashi]

It will be interesting to follow the French team this year again. They have the potential to do really well. But I expect there to be a tough fight for both the last QF-spot and relegation in both groups this year with a lot of teams involved.

So what does the French squad look like at the moment? Who is still in? And are there still any possible reinforcements from NA?

It was a big Ottawa stupidity from the begining, I think, to let him go. But now, I think, he has a nice contract on one of the best and richest KHL teams with very important role and living in a one of the best cities in the world.

I think if an NHL team makes him a nice offer, he'll move to NA, but as far as I understand it won't happen this summer.

Thanks guy

SDC is still young so never know

 

[Alveio]

Ottawa's mistake was to play him on the 3rd or 4th line almost all the time. He's obviously a top 6 guy. If you make him play on a defensive or power line, you "ruin" his possibility to bring something in the game.

He would have had to beat our Turris or Spezza in 2013 to do that. That wasn't happening

 

[starling]

He played great for sens during his last call up. If not for the Olympics he was not coming out of the lineup.
It's unfortunate that he decided to go to KHL. Without Spezza he had a good chance to solidify his spot on the team. His AHL linemates Stone and Hoffman finished 1st and 4th in rookie scoring.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Surprised Huet still plays.

 

[Bookker]

Surprised Huet still plays.

More surprising : he is still a beast

And I think he will continue to play for 2 more years until 2017 and the WC @home in France

All of Lausanne fervently wishes for you to be right... Our record this year with Huet was 20 wins and 15 losses, without him was 4 wins and 11 losses.

 

[seeep]

hi guys, isnt Eliot Berthon and Johann Morant good enough to play for NT ? thx

 

[Ghost Bear]

Did Stephane Da Costa get injured yesterday against Switzerland? Will he play against Austria?

 

[Alveio]

Yeah he got injured. He's kinda day-to-day so we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if he can play or not.
