Domi (2), Petan (2), Lazar, Point, Duclair
Réway (2), Cernak


Go Canada go

 

[CorgisPer60]

I have no problems with whoever starts, but I don't want #JustWinz to be a factor.

 

[Alerion]

Gauthier scores, HFBoards explodes.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Reway playing in his 3rd world juniors. Most impressive.

Let the games begin!!!!

 

[Jacksonbobson]

3-1 Canada

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Would be nice to see a blowout of a game but I'll take that dominating look that we got from our Olympic team this year.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Who is nick Paul? Don't remember seeing his name much in the roster talk thread.

 

[Snippit]

Canada 7-1

McDavid, Domi, Reinhart, Morrissey, Duclair x2, Paul

Cehlarik

 

[WarriorofTime]

Slovakia shouldn't even bother showing up.

 

[David Suzuki]

5-3 Canada

Slovakia was good last year, I expect them to be this year too.

 

[maroon 6]

Whatever happened to Patrik Koys? Remember reading about him a while ago like he was the next big thing.

 

[Luigi Habs]

I dont feel it for Canada this year. Too many question marks. Unless Mcdavid decides otherwise.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I dont feel it for Canada this year. Too many question marks. Unless Mcdavid decides otherwise.

Canada breaks the drought this year. Guaranteed.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Who is nick Paul? Don't remember seeing his name much in the roster talk thread.

Player drafted by Dallas traded to Ottawa for Spezza

Pretty damn solid player: plays for North Bay and is big and strong and having a great year

 

[Steamwhistle]

Who is nick Paul? Don't remember seeing his name much in the roster talk thread.

Solid two-way C, pretty good scoring touch as well. Played at centre for the pre tourney games but will be moving to the wing for now. Has some good size to him too, 6'3 like 220 pounds. Overall, just a well-rounded player.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I dont feel it for Canada this year. Too many question marks. Unless Mcdavid decides otherwise.

Feel the same way. Bottom 6 just looks poopy, imo (besides Virtanen).

If McDavid takes this tournament over, though, we win.

 

[kris]

Is Radovan Bondra related to Peter?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Feel the same way. Bottom 6 just looks poopy, imo (besides Virtanen).

If McDavid takes this tournament over, though, we win.

Not a fan of Petan or Fabbri?

 

[kris]

I'd probably go:

Fabbri - McDavid - Lazar
Domi - Reinhart - Duclair
Petan - Paul - Virtanen
Ritchie - Gauthier - Crause (big line lol)
Point

 

[Stats01]

Quite the opposite for me, the last few years I haven't felt it from them at all, but this year..no mistake this could be one of the best teams put together. I think they'll have a pretty easy go of it heading into the Semi's. Too fast, too skilled, too talented. Only question mark is goaltending. Slovakia are going to get annihilated tonight. I love our top 2 lines, so much talent. One difference with this team from the past 2-3 years is the depth. Those 2 top lines are scary good, even our 3rd line with Petan and Paul is pretty solid.

I will say 5-1 or 6-1 Canada. Game won't be close
