WJC: 2020 Canada Roster Talk

[Garyboy]

It’s on TSN 1/3 tomorrow.

 

[Team Cozens]

Veleno has officially been released. I'm betting he doesnt play the first pre tourney game but plays the second

Sounds like Veleno will replace Lavoie on the Cozens line.

Byfield - Cozens - Veleno

No chance they play Veleno at wing and Cozens at centre, I would say.

No chance they play Veleno at wing and Cozens at centre, I would say.

Why is that? Cozens is the faster skater and they are on the larger ice surface. By all accounts Veleno hasn’t had a great start in the AHL.

 

[Hagstrom]

It is 100% on TV. Just looked myself.

100% on TSN1 and TSN3 as far as tv listings are concerned

 

[JackSlater]

Hofer and Daws are splitting the goal today according to TSN. Goaltending may be the most interesting thing to watch in the exhibition today.

It will be for me I know that.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that Cozens has some former experience on the right side and Veleno is older, so they’ll probably favour him to a fault.

Sorry guys clearly I can't read. Its on TV. Can't wait to watch! Got my hot chocolate ready and everything

 

[Christien]

Probably unlikely Veleno plays today, right?

He's arrived in Austria but he isn't playing today.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Agreed, tbh, I'd rather see Byfield at center over Cozens as well.

Regardless, should be a dominant line either way.

Looking forward to watching Cozens.

“He's playing so fast,” said assistant coach André Tourigny. “He might've been our best player in the last two practices. He’s really fast and what I like is he’s as fast with the puck as without the puck. He wants to make the difference every time he touches the ice.”
“He’s probably one of the fastest players I've ever played with and practised against,” said Erie Otters defenceman Jamie Drysdale. "It's really incredible what he can do out there and doing that at his top speed. He can make plays, be a threat to burn you wide or deke through you or shoot through you, so when you have all those threats it’s really dangerous.”

We'll see. Ray is saying now that Veleno is back you might see him back with Lafreniere when hes back in the line up. And I know it was reemed on a lot last tourney but already Hayton has had 2 bad shots on the PP where he isnt moving the puck. I hope he isnt thinking he has to do it all himself this year because he was a bit too much of a puck hog last year

 

[Get North]

I like what I saw from that Cozens line. 3 linebackers out there.

 

[Garyboy]

The Dry Guy! Nice tip by Mercer in front.

Game's on now. A good early preview of the tournament which starts in 1 week.

Not many shots

Same, this is a joke.

 

[Garyboy]

Addison’s skating looking like it will be a big asset on the big ice.

 

[LFCTML]

I like these lines. How are we looking, guys?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Dominated possession .. quite a few shots are getting blocked or missing the net. No pressure in the Canada end.
