Haven't followed non-NHL hockey at all recently. How's team Canada shaping up? Getting tired of not winning gold

 

[saskriders]

Just hoping from a good performance from Sens prospects.

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

I have no hope for them. Leaving Strome, Ho-Sang, and Marner off the team is utter incompetence.

 

[harvey]

ive got a suite for the sweden game, should be fun

 

[starling]

Has to be some kind of pre-tourney game. WJC starts on boxing day I think.

Yep. All official tournament games are at either the ACC or the Bell Center.

Ottawa just gets the one exhibition game on the 21st.

Watched the '09 WJC championship game in Ottawa again (last CND win) and watched Karlsson a little closer. Nice to see he was chosen the Sweden Player of the game.

It would be sweet to see Lazar do the same this year!

2 WEEKS TO GO!

Hopefully Lazar makes it and plays RW with McDavid, also hope that Paul makes it so we can see what he's made of.

More than ever now, should we send Lazar!

 

[operasen]

Is there a timeline confirmed yet for the Lazar decision. I t has to be in the next days so the team can plan.

 

[JonnyMacSen]

Camp starts tomorrow, I'd think if he was going they'd announce it today.

Ya, but they made it quite clear Lazar would NOT be going to camp, if he was to join the tournament, so time will tell. The 19th is the first pre-tournament game, so like some players, not all of them will get a shot at the first game, so he could possibly play his first game here at home Dec. 21 before the actual tournament starts, or only during the actual tournament come boxing day!

Who knows...

 

[Inkling]

They interviewed the head scout for Canada on TSN690 and the deadline is the NHL Christmas Roster Freeze which I believe is at the end-of-day on December 19th. Teams are inclined to wait to announce in case there are injury issues just before the holiday which might impact their decision to send, or not send, a player to the WJC.

 

[Back in Black]

Makes sense, txs for the update Inkling

 

[operasen]

Going to be watching what Killington does and also Dergachev (possible 2nd).

For Canada, Strome, Roy, and of course Paul

 

[Back in Black]

6 Day's until the first Canada Exhibition game against Russia.

McDavids first game will be in Ottawa on the 21st

 

[DJB]
