I hope Suzuki goes if he's healthy. It's not like the NHL playoffs but still good experience for him to play with a different team in a tournament.

According to TSN690 from earlier today Monty was asked to go but apparently declined but I haven't seen or heard it from anywhere else so we'll see.

 

[Goldthorpe]

We have no good centres to play with him which sucks. Maybe Pospisil from Calgary will play C.

Wild suggestion for Slovakia, but: Try Slaf as center. He has it in him.

I would of declined rudely!

All good
He went AND won last year
Don't have to go everytime lol

They played him as 1C against Sweden when he had just turned 17 at the WC back in 2021. So it’s possible

 

[Fatbiggie]

Hopefully Suzuki goes. I think that will help his chances getting in for the Olympics & 4 nations

He went and won last year. Binnington has accepted, so Montembeault would likely just be back-up. It's fine that he said, no.

Crosby going at 36 with nothing to prove says a lot about his passion for hockey

At first I was disappointed by you are both right, he did it. he has far less reasons to go. Let him rest.

Crosby has already confirmed his presence ?

Sets an example too. I don't blame Nick for not going since I'm sure he's tired for how much work he did, but for a lot of guys with Olympic dreams it must be pretty hard to say no with him going.

 

[montreal]

Sounds like no Mesar for the WC's, thought for sure he would be named to the team.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Confirmed that Slafkovsky is playing for Slovakia!

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Since when does the US team actually send quality NHLers to the World Championship?

 

[montreal]

Kapanen listed to play in a warm up game for Team Finland vs Team Sweden. Just about to start, he's listed on the 4th line on twitter but on the boxscore I pulled up it has him on the 1st line center.

Yeah, #79. He's had a couple of shifts.

 

[bopeep]

Finland playing Sweden in the WC warmup / Friendly; up 2-0 after the 1st. Kapanen playing 1C - no points yet.

 

[stastny12]

Confirmed that Slafkovsky is playing for Slovakia!

Most likely, he´ll play with Tatar and Pospisil in the first line.

three wingers? Unlikely

 

[ngc_5128]

three wingers? Unlikely

Didn't Slaf play center the last couple of times with the national team?

 

[vlady]

Didn't Slaf play center the last couple of times with the national team?

nope

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Was Hutson invited?

Feeling that if Crosby had confirmed his presence early, players would be lining up to make the team.
