No Mark Fistric?
Wow. Just wow. I'm not going to second-guess Brent Sutter, but I have been watching him play all season, and he seems to me the ideal Sutter tough WHL defenseman.
Also, Bourdon and Letang shouldn't be on the top pairing, as Bourdon at the moment is pretty far ahead of Letang. I'd pair Bourdon with a stay-at-home guy who can compensate for his scrambliness.

To make matters even worse, it seems like they are making players bigger than they are. There is no way Cogliano is 6'2, he's probably closer to 5'9-5'10.

TSN now has a picture of several players on teh front page. I forgot how hideous that new jersey looks...
My first thought when opening up the link was................"uugh,they are STILL going to be dummies and subject us to those uniforms"The Nemesis said:
They don't seem to have a clue here.................................you'd think they'd know better. I must get that letter off to Bob Nicholson now.I had given him the benefit of the doubt that'd he'd turf those ridiculous things.How are we supposed to win games in that?

No Wolski or McGrath? What a joke, although come to think of it they don't fit the 'Sutter mold' so they wouldn't have made the team anyways, so why waste their time?

Wolski certainly shocked me as well but not so much McGrath. Both those players would have needed to play on the top 2 lines because neither would be properly suited to play a checking/grinding role IMO. And IMO I'd rather Bolland, Boyd, Cogliano, Pouliot, Latendresse, Little playing on the top 2 lines then McGrath although I would have liked to see Wolski there for sure.
I thought that was more like it,thanks.I was thinking when i saw it,if the guy has the skills they say he has and is 6'2........................how in the world did he not go top five in this past draft? But it's cleared up.....................he wishes he was 6'2 like tsn has him at.Andrew_11 said:
He's a good defenceman. He plays a Sutter style of play. He wouldn't put up offensive numbers but he would be a great pentally killer and a great leader. I wouldn't have been surprized if he didn't make team but I was surprized that he didn't even make the camp.Walzy said:

Last year's team only had 2 players from the Quebec League (Crosby & Dixon), both east coast guys. Maybe you could count Bergeron but he was an NHLer. Sutter is not going to try to be politically correct...he'll choose the best team, period, regardless of where guys are from.
Higher than Stephenson, Schultz and Rogers yes, but he's been disappointing this year to me. Maybe it's the new rules or something, but he doesn't seem to have much of a meanstreak anymore, and he isn't as much of a dominating physical force as he should be. I think he probably managed to play himself out of contention this season so far, as I think he was probably pencilled in before this year. That said, I dislike both Rogers and Schultz, and Stephenson has never really done it for me.Walzy said:

Uhhhh yeah right. You seriously think Sutter is going to hand spots over to any player for political reasons? That's hilarious man. Good joke. You're funny.

TSN obviously made a mistake. Hockey Canada lists him at 5'9.
