Habs at the World Championships (OP Updated)

nope

Pospisil wants to play as a center. He´s quite vocal about it. You can read it in the Slovak sport websites.

alright then. I thought he was a winger because he plays wing for the Flames. Not sure what position he played in the AHL. My bad.

Joel Armia. When he dons the Finnish blue he turns into Mario L'Armia.

I dream of the day a GM think Armia Lemiou is the deal of the century, a diamond hidden in a pile of turds, just need to be cleaned and polished.

Primeau > Lyon

Team USA wake up

Primeau > Lyon

Team USA wake up

Maybe Primeau got invited ans declined? Who knows.

Slovakia plays Czech Republic in an exhibition game this morning (10:30 am). The tournament starts 2 weeks today.

I don't expect Lyon to be the starter for USA. I think Charlie Lindgren gets an invite once Washington is eliminated.

With all of Tampa Bay, Washington & NYI on the brink of being swept, there will be a number of players made available. We'll see who actually goes.

There's potential for Jake Oettinger to be available for US too, as Dallas is down 0-2 in their series.

If team USA has room for Petry they have room for Lane Hutson.

WM-Vorbereitung: Österreich nähert sich WM-Team

Mittwochnachmittag geht Head Coach Roger Bader erstmals mit dem nahezu kompletten Kader, bei dem lediglich noch Vinzenz Rohrer aus der Schweiz und Peter Schneider fehlen, aufs Eis. Sonntag, 19:00 Uhr live auf ORF SPORT +, kommt es in der ausverkauften Wiener Steffl Arena zum Duell mit...

www.eishockey.at

"David Reinbacher is out due to injury and will not be eligible for the World Cup either."

"Vinzenz Rohrer will play the decisive game with the ZSC Lions on Tuesday evening in the best of seven series against Lausanne for the Swiss championship title and is expected to report to the team camp on Friday."

Did Sid confirm he’s going?

[MarkovsKnee]

Good to see Guhle accepted. Defense & goaltending looks OK. Forwards, well, I'm happy Celebrini is going. Lol

 

[the valiant effort]

I haven’t looked at a non-Canadian WHC roster in 10 years so I have no idea how they stack, but it seems like a good group you can root for. Too bad about that old jerk Sid sitting it out again

 

[Kojo]

If team USA has room for Petry they have room for Lane Hutson.

Maybe Lane doesn't want to go. It's probably better for him to focus on the next NHL season instead of going to the WC. Those teams are stacked, Lane Hutson would probably be like the 6-7th d.

 

[Treb]

Tanev, McBain, Greig....

I see Canada's front office hasn't changed.

 

[26Mats]

Dcore is good. Bennington could be good.

Suzuki and Monty could have helped that team a lot.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Good to see Guhle accepted. Defense & goaltending looks OK. Forwards, well, I'm happy Celebrini is going. Lol

So I guess that tells us that Guhle has recovered from the concussion or whatever his UBI injury was late in the season.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Armia isn't playing for Finland this year. In fact, there aren't too many NHL players going for the Fins.

Oliver Kapanen has officially made the team.

2024 draft eligible Konsta Helenius is also on it.

For those who haven't seen the high-lights of Canada's 5-1 exhibition win against Austria, here is a link:

Greig finished with 1G 1A to lead Canada past the Austrians.

Really!? With Bedard, Fantilli, Guenther, Mercer, Cozens, McCann and Celebrini that's not a bad group.

Not bad, but it's extremely young outside of McCann.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Not bad, but it's extremely young outside of McCann.

They may be young in age, but all of them have been playing hockey at a high level for years: NHL, CHL, Team Canada, etc. These 'kids' have developed in the pressure cooker that is high level sport competition. It's the big ice, where skating is at a premium. Hockey Canada is finally learning and have assembled a largely mobile team. We may not win, but it doesn't appear that we will be caught slow.

And if you can skate, anything is possible.
