[Josepho]

maybe this man too

 

[Knight53]

Can't wait to watch Forsling

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Group A is some division!

 

[WTG]

McCann is not gonna go.

Especially with Sutter out.

Virtanen will.

 

[a Fool]

Finland is going to crush group B.

 

[nuckfan insk]

I hope both go I think the big minute offensive roles they could play will only help their development. They will never get this chance again. I know McCann is needed right now so I doubt they will go but I hope they do.

 

[MikeK]

I voted both because i want both to go. It's an amazing experience that a lot of players benefit from. They'll log the highest minutes in the team under higher pressure situation than they will here. Sadly, I don't see either going.

 

[StIllmatic]

US should have some good forwards this year. Off the top of my head: Tkachuk, Matthews, Connor, White and Boeser.

 

[Samzilla]

The WJC is in canada this year?

 

[WTG]

The US coach will have some options.

I remember in summer camp he was pretty adamant of having Boeser with Matthews.

But seeing of how Schmaltz and Boeser have been rolling lately it's kind of hard to split those 2 up.

 

[PG Canuck]

Really want both to go.

 

[Addison Rae]

meant to vote virtanen, my bad

 

[Knight53]

Really hope both go to the WJC now and get away from this team for a month or so.

 

[hellstick]

I thought I read virt was out long term.

 

[brokenhole]

Really hope both go to the WJC now and get away from this team for a month or so.

This...i was on the fence about McCann but get him out of the room for a bit.

 

[Bgav]

Both plz

 

[brokenhole]

Is Demko going to play for the U.S, or is he too old?

 

[Josepho]

Is Demko going to play for the U.S, or is he too old?

too old, has a december birthday. most likely the man picken right after him, alex nedejkovic, will play for team usa.

Helsinki

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The US should have a stacked group this year. Canada looks weaker than last year.

 

[canucksfan]

Virtanen likely won't go due to his injury which sucks.

Can't see the Nucks lending McCann with Sutter injured and their lack of depth at centre.

It will be Boeser and Jasek? Will that be it?

 

[PG Canuck]

Helsinki

Oh great so game times will be all wacky, I'm guessing?

 

[Win One Before I Die]

Send both and give Utica guys some ice time with the Canucks.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Would be nice if McCann and Virtanen got to play for team Canada, but I'll be cheering for Canada either way.
