WJC: Canada WJC Discussion (Part II)

That's exactly what I was asking, thanks.
I haven't seen any confirmation of it but figured that's what they'd do.

I blame Paul Maurice for the most part. Probably tried to change how he played and he's only been slowly going back to it, I'd hate if the coaches at the WJC are trying to change his game too, and they send him home. Mess up a player's style than get rid of him.
Assistants have weight, especially when picking the team. Don Hay has never seen Murphy play before this camp likely, so he's going to ask them how he plays, and the assistant is going to tell him he doesn't like him, despite being Canada's best played in the Ivan Hlinka camp and Canada's best player and a top 3 player for the tournement in the last international competition.
And if Murphy doesn't make it, so be it, it won't be the first, or last time he's cut when he should be on the team. Ivan Hlinka 2010, WJC 2011, Carolina this year (Absurd he was sent down without playing a game)

I wouldn't worry about it. The guy doesn't think they have TVs in Newfoundland. You are probably best off just ignoring people so ill informed about the simplest of topics.

Schwartz is definitely a leader on this team, especially with the way he handled roommate Matt Dumba after his dismissal from the team.

Any updates on Howden? I'm going to be pissed off at an unearthly level if he can't play in the tournament.

Any info on how Harrington has looked so far? Any chance to make it? I understand hes in tough to make it and would have needed a great camp.

**** me senseless.
Don Hay did say he was feeling "a lot better" so there is some hope that he'll be fine for the start of the tourney.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
By all accounts he hasn't done anything to help his case and I've heard some criticisms of his skating style.
What I've seen, he didn't seem implicated at all and was not using his size to any perceivable advantage.

Had 2 exams today so I have been out, my thoughts:
1. Surprised to see Dumba and McNiell cut. Though Dumba looked good yesterday, and McNiell is very strong (and I was against McNiell being at camp in 1st place).
2. Not surprised JGL, and Phillips cut, but very surprised they got gut before Morrow, Toffolli, Pearson.
3. Why is Ross still around? I get he is rusty, but his hands got exposed really bad yesterday. Also though Pearson was fairly invisible
4. Thomas stood out a lot yesterday, had a couple real nice wristers, created lots of chances on the PP, and works very hard. Not sure if he can crack the 8 winger spots, but hes fast, works hard, and hes good with the puck. Those are 3 very important hockey skills
5. Thomas' teammate Jenner should be on this team. Reminds be a bit of a bigger, less offensive Ryan Johansen from last year
6. Stone is as advertised. Good hands, with size. He isnt the fastest player, but at the Jr level he has the skills so that he doesnt need to be. Can play top or bottom 6
7. Bulmer could get cut. He stood out occasionally yesterday, but didnt show he had enough skills with the puck. If your not showing good enough puck skills, you better be able to hit or Skate like Della Rovere. Id like to have him there, but if Thomas plays well again watch out
Side note, Canada cant cut guys because they are 17. You cut guys because they dont fit in. Last year RNH looked good, but he did get exposed because of his size at times, Murphy was simply the 3rd best pure offensive guy. I thought Murray should have made the team over Gudbranson (based on play). 2 years ago, Seguin tried to do too much, McFarland, well all you have to say is that hes still eligible and hes not here, and Gormely was solid, but did look a bit tentative.
All I can say is that if Canada doesnt win gold this year, there will be 1 common factor -- no 17 year olds.

(Gallagher)
Gormley-Petrovic
Murray-Pysyk
Beaulieu-Hamilton
(Murphy)

#WJC2012 scratches tonight :gormley, D.hamilton, murray, gallagher, F.hamilton, scheifele, schwartz, smith-pelly, stone, howden et huberdeau
So Connolly is clearly not a lock.

Surprised Bournival isn't there. But oh well, another chance for me to see him! Also probably needed to carry so many centers and with Scheifele out tonight, it makes sense.
Glad to see Gally as a lock.

More so a situation of familiarity for him, I dont think he earned the right to make the team already due to his play so far.
Suprised F.Hamilton has made the team also.
I would have sat Strome and Jenner in favor of those two.
Tallon says the hit to Howden wasn't serious

Strome has been invisible thus far. Gallagher has been buzzing around and was pretty darn good in that first game. Don't take the credit away from this kid cause this isn't just about these last two games. His season as a whole contributes to this in which he has been nothing short of brilliant. He is also a very versatile player that can fit in on any line.
Lets be serious here though..if they aren't hurt and are in the press-box, they made the team. Otherwise, they would have been scratched this morning.
