Selecting J Bouw for this roster is completely absurd, but it is reflective of a real issue the Canadians have where they have a ton of RHD depth and not a whole lot of LHD.

They should probably just play someone on their off-side, but otherwise I think TJ Brodie is the best option

(obviously, Weber should not even be there, but what can ya do)

LeBrun's personal picks for the World Cup team

Joe Thornton Sidney Crosby Steven Stamkos
Jamie Benn Tyler Seguin Claude Giroux
Brad Marchand Jonathan Toews Jeff Carter
John Tavares Ryan Getzlaf Corey Perry
Patrice Bergeron


Duncan Keith Shea Weber
Marc-Edouard Vlasic Drew Doughty
Jay Bouwmeester Alex Pietrangelo
Brent Burns

Surprised to see him have Bergeron on the outs and fucking lol to having Bouwmeester on this roster. Give me a break, no Burns, Letang or Subban? FOH.

Button's gotten into LeBrun head.

I'd easily swap out either Bouwmeester and/or Pietrangelo with Subban and/or Burns. Why is Burns even a 7th D here? lol.

It's a bit more difficult with the forward lines, and I can maybe see the rationale in it, but Bergeron as a 13th man over Marchand? Pretty sure Bergeron can play wing as well...right?

 

[lamaroo]

Just think about it, would Sweden ever keep Karlsson off the team for more "defensive" defensemen?

 

[zroid]

Scheifele you dummy

 

[alexthekid]

Klingberg kept off for Krownwall. 10 Times worse.

Edit: actually I dont think klibgberg has to make the team either, but Kronwall is ten times worse than Bouwester, and we have plenty of options.

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin being on the World Cup management team and Subban not even being the 7th D man might say something about how he views him. Hockey Canada really needs an overall at the management level.

Yea, as well as he's not prone to taking bone headed penalties all the time.

Duchene is an alternate of Team Canada, but on the Avs it's McLeod. :|

Who gave Subban that contract

 

[lamaroo]

Who gave Subban that contract

Geoff Molson

 

[Red_Man]

Who gave Subban that contract

Not sure what your point is? Molson stepped in to make sure it got done.

 

[Socreges]

My point is that we kinda know how Bergevin views him given how those contract negotiations went down

Itching for some more adventure games similar to Uncharted. I still have the Uncharted Collection to finish up, but I might pick up Tomb Raider DE for PS4 as well.

Sucks that Ride of the Tomb Raider isn't out yet, but I guess they didn't want to compete with Uncharted 4 this quarter. Late-2016 is probably the better release for it.

 

[calder]

Scheifele has been awesome. Still keep trying to come up with a way we can steal Stone from Ottawa.

 

[zroid]

crazy finish lol

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Here we go the leaf blows the clear and the game will be tied

 

[lamaroo]

Just had some hail for a minute, da hell mother nature.

 

[calder]

Other than a brief scramble that was total domination in the third for Canada. Well deserved shutout win!

Lol this will be a great final face off

USA-Canada at Sochi 2.0

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Hockey canada looks ready to embrace marchand's 3 way game (goals, cheapshots, diving)

Those Finnish players crying... damn.

There you have it. At 19, Connor McDavid becomes the youngest player in the history of the game to win U18 WJC, U20 WJC and the WC.

MCJESUS

Welp.

You just know that McDavid vs Laine will become a thing.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

That last-second empty netter though

 

[CreeperBlocks]

McDavid really is the Chosen one.

 

[zroid]

Laine MVP lol

[Socreges]

RIP the 29 NHL teams' fanbases.

The only team fanbase remaining being the LA Kings, since they don't actually know who Bettman is.

 

[zroid]

I honestly forgot Max Domi was on the team till I saw him singing the anthem there

 

[Parch]

Feels like they stole gold, but Canada always gets better as the tournament moves along. Nice defensive shutdown today.

Like 80% of the team are good ontario kids too. I shed a tear :')
