WJC: Roster Talk '13 — Canada 3.0

[Szechwan]

Camara with a hit and a goal.

Camara making himself tough to cut.

Am I the only one watching this game? Or do people just come to this forum after the games to pimp their team's prospects?

This made me laugh.


Anywho, anxious to see who's cut. Still a battle for the bottom pairing spots.

 

[SH15]

On the flip side, I don't see a way Corrado is cut from this team. If so, scrap the tryouts all together and make the team based on league play and reputation!

 

[BoHorvat53]

Really pulling for Corrado. Hopefully Corrado has shown everyone the hype he has gotten has been deserved.

 

[Tiranis]

Dumba seems nervous or something. He's just completely lost in the defensive zone in these games. Before that 1st goal was scored, he had no clue which guy to mark which almost resulted in a great chance against.

He's a little bit more noticeable in other areas in this game, so at least there's that.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Right now Wotherspoon, Sproul and Dumba really have to have great 2 and 3 periods if they want to make the team. Still think there's a chance Dumba makes it over Corrado but right now Wotherspoon and Sproul have no chance.

i heard fast isnt playing for anyone he is just around and they asked him to play also another pro on forward who looks like he retired or something like that

name: bomersback #22

 

[Southern_Canuck]

hows reinhart and corrado playing?

Their first shift to start the game they were hemmed in their own zone for the whole shift - although CIS didn't really generate any scoring chances.

With the string of penalties the defensive pairings became jumbled, with Corrado playing with Dumba for a shift, and later playing on the powerplay without Reinhart.

Coarrado blasted a Dumba pass on net, but Binnington was able to stop it.

As for the others, Wotherspoon made a good keep-in on a bloop clearing attempt at the offensive blueline that resulted in a goal for Canada.

I would really like to know what the coaches are trying to evaluate today.

Are they comparing guys like McNeil-Camara as defensive players? Or do they want to see which of Drouin/Shinkaruk can play at the bottom of the lineup?

At this point, they must know what Drouin is as good offensively as anyone there so they must be evaluating him in other ways. Or maybe they're weighing the physicality of McNeil against the offense of Drouin, which is a whole different ballgame.

That would be dumba if Matt made it over Frankie.

Thanks for that. Lol @ 18 posts in 6 years. I feel flattered that you used one of your three annual posts to answer my question.

 

[Canucks LB]

Hey guys, I just came back from work, can I get a update on the goalies and corrado please, thanks.

 

[Bjorn Le]

That would be dumba if Matt made it over Frankie.

Maybe, but you can see where they're coming from if they go that route.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Hudon with a bit of giveaway and then Ritchie nailed a guy on the halfboards. McKinnon strong on the puck.

 

[Bjorn Le]

I'm so happy to see Ritchie hitting, he was Penner incarnate a year ago, now he hits everything in sight. He's improved so much this year.

Spott looks like he's going to give Murphy a lot of even strength ice-time with the big guns this period. So far so good.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Camara with another big hit on the forecheck that caused a turnover and then he took the puck hard to the net.

That guy has made his case.

 

[HockeySauce]

Danault is such a beast on the backcheck. Unreal.

 

[Taelin]

Maybe, but you can see where they're coming from if they go that route.

Draft position and reputation > play?

From what I've seen of Dumba in these games, Corrado and Murphy should be in before him.

 

[BruinsBtn]

It's very hard to tell the defensemen apart, you can't read the numbers.

Someone just beat to set up a two-on-one but couldn't tell who.

This.

I want the players who deserve to be there based on their play, than based on name value only.

 

[duul]

These guys are ******* buckets over Ritchie

 

[RomersWorld*]

Danault is just incredible how he chases down the puck and just takes it away.

Talent, it's why Subban is a lock to make the team as the number one goalie despite having the worst camp.

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

Ryan Murray huge loss for Canada..

 

[HockeySauce]

Is Reinhart a lock for the team? I know he's big, but he hasn't really done much IMO.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Dumba didn't play that 3-on-2 well. Reinhart should be a lock for this team.
