Kendrick 4,724 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) The World Cup of Hockey may or may not interest everyone here but it is a budding topic for conversation. The tentative 16 man rosters for most teams were announced today and can be found here: Quote Roster Announcement LINK One thing to note, players should bring extra padding in their helmets because Radko Gudas was named to Team Czech Republic and he will most likely deliver some cheap shot at some point.

Yeah I like most of the Jerseys honestly, logo's and designs. Also people who say they care about this as much as World Championship should give their head a shake. Players have said they think this will be more competitive than World Championship, and even comparable to Olympic hockey. Ken Hitchcock came out sand said it may be more competitive than Olympics because of the smaller rinks, and because it isn't happening mid or after the season. Players will be fresh and desperate. I honestly think this could be a good tournament. Also, it doesn't matter if you call it Team North America NHL, we all know what Team Mercs is. Stealing our damn ideas.

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Honestly, I think all the jerseys look sick. Odd that Jagr isn't initially announced to Czech. I assume he'll be there when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrick 4,724 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah Jagr retired from his country. Also, I'm sorry but I just see a huge clash with that Finland logo on their jersey. I get the whole Suomi thing on the front, but that logo in red is such an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesfan036 4,585 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I hope Giroux doesn't get FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY by Canada again, even though he has the most points of any player going a few seasons back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly just looking at Canadians...in the last 3 seasons...Crosby (248 points), Seguin (229 points), Benn (237 points) all have more points than Giroux (213 points, 0.959 ppg) and both Tavares (202 points, 1.01 ppg) and Getzlaf (208 points, .985 ppg) have been better point producers on average. If I look at other countries, Kane (218 points), Ovechkin (219 points), Backstrom (215 points) are also ahead (as just the first three names that came to mind). With all that being said, Giroux should and will be on the team. FacePuncher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Giroux has the most raw points in the NHL in the past 5 seasons, and is one of the best at winning faceoffs in the league. I'm trying to find a source better than just an HFBoards post, but I'm like 99% positive about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 4,724 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yes he does actually, what does that have to do with being automatic for the 16 player rosters that came out? They decide on who fits the mould on which line at that given time. If they did it on past 5 seasons Joe Thornton would make it over Getzlaf, Kessel would make USA.
