2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship

   

Scrivens and Perron are on the roster.

   

But where are the Oiler's $6M pretty boys?

   

Yeah... I was kinda hoping to see Eberle on there, but they're still a little young and a little green. Don't really want to see a bunch of rookies on that roster, I suppose.

Looks like a good roster over all. And now we wait.

   

I found the answer to my question, and you've been doing to much spring fishing.

They both played last year, but Hall is pouting because he was used as a bench warmer, and I can't believe it, but Ebs is a 4 year veteran of the world team. He's like most of these over paid players, he has minor hurts. RNH is trying to make up his mind now that his buddies have said no.

It's good to see someone beside Hamhuis representing the Canucks with both Bieksa and Garrison playing the blue line. Best of all though is seeing Burrows finally getting some recognition for the great work he's done over the years.

   

Can't find any open water to go fishin'. Been boat shopping instead!

Damn... Didn't realize Eb's had been on that long. Guess Perron's off the list due to injury now as well. Sheeeeeeit. I think our boys need a mom in the dressing room to toughen these boys up.

I vote me.

   

Toughen them up yeah, just as long as you're not leaving them there as whimpering sacks of what was once living human flesh feverishly crying and incoherently moaning for their mommies..... you go girl....

   

Ohhhhh.... You can pretty much guarantee it would start out that way! Ask my sons. They'd come out of it without any whine factor left though.
"Slap a piece of duct tape on it and get your ass back in the game!", I say.

   

Kevin Bieksa named captain of Canada's National Men's Team for 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship

Jason Chimera and Kyle Turris named alternate captains

MINSK, Belarus – Dave Tippett, head coach of Canada’s National Men’s Team, announced Thursday, in collaboration with Hockey Canada and general manager Rob Blake, that Kevin Bieksa (Grimsby, Ont./Vancouver, NHL) will serve as Canada’s captain at the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, which will be held May 9-25 in Minsk.

Tippett also announced that Jason Chimera (Edmonton, Alta./Washington, NHL) and Kyle Turris (New Westminster, B.C./Ottawa, NHL) will serve as alternate captains.

Bieksa, 32, just completed his eighth season with the Canucks, and will make his first appearance in international competition. A native of Grimsby, Ont., Bieksa has appeared in 537 NHL games with Vancouver, and ranks as the sixth-highest scoring defenceman in franchise history, with 179 points.

Chimera, 35, will be representing Canada at the world championship for the third time, having won gold in 2007 and silver in 2008. A veteran of 13 NHL seasons with Edmonton, Columbus and Washington, the native of Edmonton, Alta., also played at the 1999 IIHF World Junior Championship in Winnipeg, Man., winning a silver medal.

Turris, 24, won gold with Canada’s National Junior Team at the 2008 IIHF World Junior Championship. A veteran of six NHL seasons with Phoenix and Ottawa, the native of New Westminster, B.C., ranked third in scoring with the Senators this season, setting career highs in goals (26), assists (32) and points (58), while leading the team with a +22 plus-minus rating.

In addition, Canada has added defenceman Braydon Coburn (Shaunavon, Sask./Philadelphia, NHL) to its roster, which now includes 23 players: three goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards.

Defenceman Marc Methot (Ottawa, Ont./Ottawa, NHL), originally named to the roster, will not be able to participate due to injury.

With the addition of Coburn, Canada’s roster now includes 18 players with previous international experience, with six players (Burrows, Chimera, Coburn, Myers, Read, Reimer) who have represented Canada at previous world championships (Turris skated as an alternate player with Canada in 2008).

Bieksa, Troy Brouwer, Jason Garrison, Ben Scrivens and Joel Ward will be representing Canada on the international stage for the first time.

Canada can officially register a maximum of 25 players with the IIHF for the world championship, including three goaltenders. The initial official registration is today, May 8, but additional players can be registered during the tournament as well.

Canada opens the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship on May 9 against France. TSN and RDS, the official broadcasters of Hockey Canada, will be broadcasting all of Canada’s games from Belarus. Check your local listings for times in your broadcast area.

Canada's first game, against France goes at 6:30am PT Friday in Belarus. I don't know how much opposition France will provide, but hockey is hockey.....

   

This has to one of the worst Team Canada's I've ever seen. Tied with France, fuck.

   

The hell is Reimer starting for?

   

I know of a few top player who aren't there because of Stevie Y not keeping his promises from last year.
