WJC: 2016 — Canada Roster Talk (Part II)

[Mashed Potatoes]

How has Marner been so far? (just started watching at the 15 min mark)

 

[boredmale]

I don't know why either. Slightly undersized but immense offensive skill, physical and not bad defensively. I personally had him top-25.

He has a 60%+ faceoffs percentage, that alone should raise him a few spots

i really don't think dal colle will stick with that team much longer

1st goal - Beauvillier (Watson)
2nd goal - P.L. Dubois (unassisted)
3rd goal - Beauvillier (Perlini, Konecny)
4th goal - Beauvillier (Sanheim, Konecny)
5th goal - Konecny (Chabot)

I hope it is correct.

5-0 after 2 periods.

My eyes have deceived me. I was almost sure it was Beauvillier who pass the puck to Konecny for his goal.

Battle for the US game on Boxing Day. Montembault taking the lead maybe?

They already told Montembault he's backing up the first 2 games and probably in the press box after that.

Your eyes were right. They just added an assist to Beauvillier on Konecny's goal.

But that could change. If McDonald is having bad exhibition games, who knows?

Doubt it. I don't think they have much faith in Montembault.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Doubt it. I don't think they have much faith in Montembault.

And if McDonald drops a terrible game in the pre-tourney games? I can't imagine they aren't at least open minded to having Montembault stealing the job.

Have they announced how many they will cut prior to leaving for Finland?

 

[MeafAttack]

Interesting, they won't be playing on actual Olympic size ice, more of a hybrid, being 8 ft narrower.

 

[199991]

Have they announced how many they will cut prior to leaving for Finland?

4 or 5 players at 4PM

They will actually be playing on both the hybrid and full Olympic size..two rinks are being used for the tournament.

 

[199991]

They put the 3 QMJHL forwards together. Interesting result

 

[nelsojc]

Did these CIS commentators drink 25 beers each prior to the game? Everything they say is so wrong..

 

[FLYguy3911]

And if McDonald drops a terrible game in the pre-tourney games? I can't imagine they aren't at least open minded to having Montembault stealing the job.

You can't tell a kid he has the first 2 games and change your mind based on a couple scrimmages. If there was any doubt, they wouldn't have told him.

Man if they release him they could have a 1-2 punch of

beauvillier - Point - Virtanen
Crouse - Strome - Marner

...deadly

 

[Atomos2]

Are these CIS announcers for real? When was the last time they actually talked about the game
