Jayrad28 397 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Montreal,Quebec- With just a couple Days before the world juniors get underway, Fans are already discussing and betting on who’s gonna win gold this year. Within the Fantasy leagues it is pretty clear the Canada is the favourite to win it all, and with good reason why. Canada’s GM has done a terrific job picking a good mix of Youth and returning players to build this team. Forwards- The Forward core has always been a strong suit for Canada. With Veterans who are already in the VHL, Like Don Draper, Edgar Tannahill And Blake Laughton. They also have a number of talented first time players, Such as Reaper Teammates Scotty BigShotty, Alex Pearson And RJ Loris. They are going to get complementary scoring from forwards like Ryan Busser, Brandon Plunkett And Micha Sage. It’s a pretty diverse group who can score but also play solid defensively. Other teams should have trouble Shutting them down. Defence- The Defence is another obvious strong point for Team Canada. Ambrose Stark And Mitch Matthews are Terrific. Add in solid players Cody Smith and Seabass Perrin and it shows why this team is expected to preform well. Stark is expected to be an intangible part of this team and likely the MVP. Goaltending- A potential weak spot for the team is in net. Reapers Fiesty Goalie Fang Flashback is expected to get the majority of the starts in net. He’s a younger Goalie with not much experience so that could prove to be a problem, but Fang has excelled with every challenge he has faced this season so hopefully he can continue that Trend. Chase is inactive and an odd choice for backup But he should be able to hold his own in games if he gets any starts. The Canadians have historically done very well at this tournament and will look to build on that, and add a gold medal to their trophy cabinet. They have a very Well Rounded team, so hopefully they can preform to their expectations. @Banackock @FerdaJets @uphillmoss @Chase Klein @Infernal @MetalToday @AcousticKazoo @RJMW @Frozen Block @gregreg @Grape @cody73 @Sebster03 @Antone10 @Jbeezy76 Infernal, Rayzor_7, AcousticKazoo and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/67401-canada-favourites-for-gold-at-wjc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubo 1,839 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Unfortunately those in fantasy seemed to base their votes on recent history. Canada is the 3rd best roster on paper and is one of the weaker teams in terms of goalie overalls. I want Canada to win as much as the next Canadian, but they are certainly not the favourites to win. That being said, I hope you guys kill it and prove me completely wrong!
