I actually stole the idea from you. lol

I just wish I had all the older ones Shep made me in the beginning

Same..I'm gonna ask him to see if he has them saved somewhere. Fingers crossed

Just heard on Sportsnet that the Bruins might allow Seguin to play for Canada at the WJC. That would be a HUGE boost for the team.

I don't believe it either, but wow would it be cool!

Would give them a month to sort out cap issues though lol.

That's probably the only reason why the Bruins would do it.

I think letting Seguin go to the WJC would be beneficial to the Bruins and Seguin. Not only for cap reasons but for Seguin to dominate, develop further as a leader and the experience doesn't hurt either!

IMO, this would go further developing Seguin as a player in all aspects..

I fully agree. I don't give a shit about the Bruins but Team Canada would have a legit #1 Center with Seguin.

Just not something I see the Bruins doing, risking the injury and going back to playing against kids while the bruins themselves are still playing games. Savard isn't suppose to be back till January, they'd be down a center for a few games.

Unless Seguin is willing to give up his NHL pay and be sent down to the AHL there is no way that hockey canada can insure Seguins NHL salary. Plus its insanity for Boston to take on that injury risk.

bcool wroteCOLON Really hard decisions..the fact that there are no returning forwards (maybe brayden schenn) means that there are no locks going into camp. Every forward position is basically up for grabs!! Our defence should look solid too, should be our strength this year.

Isn't it almost every year? Last year as the exception that I can think of.

With Schenn going I believe they need to consider inviting Glennie to camp, test out their chemistry.

Blacker called up to replace Gormley!

Long shot to make it though.

Man I'll be cheering on Canada but I don't think anyone's stopping the USA. They're gonna be real real good.

I think Russia is going to be near unstoppable the next two years, they are stacked.

Yep, it's going to be a Canada vs USA final again.

USA's group is unreal IMO... however Canada, Russia and the Swedes are never out of it, cannot wait for the games to start !!!!!

Im going to be cheering canada on like a mad man because im going to be there however it sucks to say it looks like Russia and USA are the two top dogs.

I like the USA's chances this tourney to be honest, the USNTDP gives them a huge step up IMO. But who knows Canada's got a blue collar team, never count them out could be impressive. I think though US or Russia wins this year, Russia for once won the tourney with the CHL teams.

Still not against the OHL... where our coach is from and where at least a few of the players will be coming from.

My fear is that we try and focus overly on a defence first, two way type game... that's not our prospect strength this year, we could ice a very very competitive small, skilled team. That would also make use of the softer calls that we typically have trouble adjusting too.

All skill players... the passing and hockey IQ in this group is unmatched by any other nation, we could run complex systems and bring an attack that no one anticipates... and these kids are all used to facing bigger opponents so that'll be nothing new...
