IMO, Hockey Canada should break camp knowing who is there starting goaltender. I would assume that would either be DiPietro or Allen. Their 2nd goaltender should be the best 18yo. Give the backup starts in the 2 "easy" round robin games (the 2 weakest teams in the group) to prepare him for next year. This is also what they should have done last year in preparing for this year. At this point, Canada has no Goaltender with WJC experience.
What debate?
WowBTW, sad (and not overly surprising) thing - Logan Brown was hurt again last month. He tripped over a stick in practice with the Belleville Bulls (AHL), injured his "lower body", and was expected out 4-6 weeks.

Last years WJ team, Dipi was told, it’s your turn next year. These 2 have worked hard and it’s their turn. Don’t agree with it but a lot of teams get picked this way. Tons of politics involved.
Per Twitter - Allen, Angle, and Morgan out for the Spitfires tonight.
So either the Spits don’t like starting Piironen at home or he gets 2 games this weekend.
Think it’s set up this way cause Mikey wanted the Spider-Man start.So either the Spits don’t like starting Piironen at home or he gets 2 games this weekend.
Thanks - I did as well but could find nothing. Hoping someone had an idea.Looked a bit around online @ohloutsider but couldn't find nothing. I'm thinking in very early December.
Gives Mikey a chance to get the record breaking shutout at home.Think it’s set up this way cause Mikey wanted the Spider-Man start.
Well then that is a very good reason. I totally forgot about the Superhero night.Think it’s set up this way cause Mikey wanted the Spider-Man start.
It would be strange if they sat both Morgan and Allen unless they are hurt. That would mean only dressing 19.And Piironen gets the start for Windsor in goal.
Did notice that the lineup sheet showed Morgan dressed for Windsor
Guess we will see.
Guessing unless he is ill,Allen sits because of 2 untimely penalties taken Sunday in the Soo game.
