They played like they were scrimmaging against a JV team. It's not really a good look. I'd rather see them spank an inferior team rather than playing half speed all game.The BBKL Insider wroteCOLONUSA had an ok game, they weren't really challenged. They have a good team and today was more of a tune-up.

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Canada's defense sucks. Outside of Myers and Juulsen I haven't been a fan of anyone. Fabbro has been decent when he plays.
Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
So I think my only guys in the WJC may be Mitchell Stephens and Jake Bean on Team Canada.
I have a J Greenway and a D Alexeyev but the wrong ones

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
sadly id say those have been Canada's worst players through 3 pre-tournament games + 1 period of Russia. I have no idea why Mitchell Stephens is on the top line. He's a shutdown centre.Loki wroteCOLONSo I think my only guys in the WJC may be Mitchell Stephens and Jake Bean on Team Canada.

Of course. I haven't been able to watch any of the games yet, just got home and starting to watch nowThe BBKL Insider wroteCOLONsadly id say those have been Canada's worst players through 3 pre-tournament games + 1 period of Russia.

Seems like they're playing Stephens on the wing?

RW with Strome and Dubuis...it's an awful line. Zero chemistry.Loki wroteCOLONOf course.

Weird. Canada does seem to enjoy bringing a dozen centers to international tournaments and just getting them to play whereverThe BBKL Insider wroteCOLONRW with Strome and Dubuis...it's an awful line. Zero chemistry.

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Canada needs to drop Dubuis to the Brazal line and put Raddysh on the strome line.
Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
I'd hardly call Bean a defender. He is a 4th fwd. Would love to see Fabbro get more minutes. Same goes for Cecconi earlier. For a guy that is supposed to be an all defense no offense defender he sure looks like a damn good passer. Very solid on the breakout.The BBKL Insider wroteCOLONsadly id say those have been Canada's worst players through 3 pre-tournament games + 1 period of Russia.

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Speaking of bad d, the Russians are awful. Zone entry has been easy against them and they constantly panic with the puck on their sticks.

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Samsonov keeping this a close game.
i really dislike Dubuis in this tournament.

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Yeah Canada is all over Russia in this game.
Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Last goal was pretty weak from Samsonov but the team aren't really giving him a lot of help either
Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
I mean it was yet another turnover in front of his net. One he probably could have had, but pretty difficult to place blame on him on that shot.Loki wroteCOLONLast goal was pretty weak from Samsonov but the team aren't really giving him a lot of help either

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Have I mentioned Strome sucks lately? What a waste of a beautiful feed by Bean.

Re: 2016-17 WJC teams
Not Carter Hart's best game.
