WC: Team Canada 2024

[Playmaker82]

Letang is a "no-go"



Giroux is not going.

 

[cg98]

So far we have:
Celebrini
Bedard
Cozens
Greig (?)
Joseph (?)
Crosby (?)
Fantilli (Health?)
Edit: Neighbours and Benson

Power
Byram
Parayko
Guhle (Health?)

Binnington

So far, its a good team and foundation to build from if the players that have been reported so far are going.

 

[jj cale]

Owen Power is now confirmed for Worlds.

Atta boy Owen

Be good for you to play here too after going through the sabres mess all season, getting to play with a real opportunity to accomplish something in a team setting.

 

[Chainshot]

Also Zach Benson said he would love to go but did not get a call yet.

 

[jj cale]

Binnington 100% confirmed today.

 

[MeHateHe]

I've let Hockey Canada know I'm available. Just waiting for their call.

Should come at any moment, HC is aware of your abilities on the p.k

My abilities are mostly around p.n. - picking nose.

Is your wife not giving birth?

 

[Playmaker82]

Now both Benson and Greig has openly said yes, if the get the call.

Since they have not been called, it should be a very good team. Cause on my estimated team there is not that many left before those two.

McCann - Crosby - BEDARD
Tippett - Suzuki - Konecny
Fantilli - COZENS - Guenther
CELEBRINI - Newhook - Bunting

Crouse, Foerster, Zary, Benson, Frost, Joseph, Fabbri, Greig?

Maybe.

Neighbors would come again if asked also.

[JackSlater]

Good to see interest in going after many years where it seemed like players had to be begged to participate. They should probably play it slowly if Crosby is a potential add. A lot of players in the primes of their careers today grew up idolizing Crosby, which could sway their decision, so no point to close many doors yet.

 

[MatBarzal]

If Canada invites Greig, Benson, Zary and Foerster, then the age balance in the national team will be disrupted. We will get a very young team.

 

[MeHateHe]

Is your wife not giving birth?

Yeah, but it's not mine so who cares?

 

[Playmaker82]

I have to say I like players like Neighbours, Benson & Greig putting them selves in the mix.

Not that they are top, top or "bubbles", but it shows the right character. I would like players like that in my squad. Also for the chemistry in the group. 3-4.liners more than happy to play that role.

In a tournament where you are not going to have many of your best players getting guys that really want to be there counts for a lot.

They will play hard and help you win games.

 

[Playmaker82]

Yes. Exactly. Perfect for Worlds. And they can show how they perform on the big stage for the coaches etc.

 

[MatBarzal]

Canada did not invite Quinn, Benson and Neighbours , it is encouraging, it is obvious that Rick Nash is trying to assemble a stronger team.

Jack Quinn has said he'd be open to it if they call him too, though with the caveat that it would have to go through the team regarding his ankle recovery.

Edit: Krebs I don't recall mentioning it but I was driving when he was doing his interview.

 

[HFpapi]

Delete, I was wrong.

 

[Jimmy71]

I just heard on the Minnesota and Seattle telecast that Brandon Tanev is going to the worlds for Canada

He's a pretty good player, he likes to get his nose in there.

 

[Jimmy71]

Good heart and soul guy

 

[ORRFForever]

Also Zach Benson said he would love to go but did not get a call yet.

That's too bad. I would love to see him there.

**************************************************************************************************

Re : "Claude Giroux will not be heading to the World Championships in Prague. "

That might be a sign that Sid is going.

Also Zach Benson said he would love to go but did not get a call yet.

They might be worried about the team being too young.

If I was in charge, Neighbours goes.

Now both Benson and Greig has openly said yes, if the get the call.

Good team but your 3rd and 4th line are YOUNG !!!
