Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

How badly do you think Tyler Seguin being out of Team Canada's line up is going to affect the team?

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

Not badly at all, Canada has enough skill depth.

This gets its own thread? Really?

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

I know, we've been trying to conserve threads (reduce reuse recycle!), but some people just gotta be all about the conspicuous thread consumption.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

DA If someone can be bothered to make a thread for it, sure why not? There isn't a limit on the number that can be made.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

na

It's just been mentioned elsewhere and there's already a place for it.

OP

Thanks, nonnie! I briefly skimmed the meme earlier and didn't see any mention of it (but it's easy to miss something when there's 3,000+ comments). I'm fairly new to the meme, so if anyone has good tips for how easily find info that's been posted in comments to threads, that would be greatly appreciated.

It's more knowing where people post certain things. Player injuries are usually in What's Up With Your Team threads.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

Awesome. Thanks!

DA
There's also a World Cup thread, where people are generally discussing news etc.

AYRT - It can be easy to miss things I tend to use flat view and look at the most recent comments so it's easier to see what has been posted since I was last here. I think it was mentioned in the WCoH thread.

OP

I never would have thought to use flat view. It does make it much easier to see recent comments. Thanks! :)

For a slower meme like this, I honestly find flat meme is the best way to follow it. I just keep it open in a pinned tab, refresh when I happen to think about it, and read any new stuff that's shown up. It's rarely more than a page or two.

At least they have another game to try and work things out. ROR was at 2015 Worlds which McLellan coached, so hopefully that's make it easier for him to work out where ROR fits.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

Isn't Babcock the Canada coach, though?

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, you are right. Mclellen is North America isn't he?

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Because McJesus.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

The fact that they didn't get Cooper as head coach is mind-boggling. Except, you know, McJesus.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

Even without McJesus, it's doubtful Cooper would get the nod. He's not a Hockey guy. He never ~played the game.~ Plus, he's American, and thus, as likely to be head coach as one of the US players is to get a letter.

SA

(I should say that I do know Cooper was born in Canada and played club hockey in law school. But I think those are nuances that don't enter into the politics of these international tournament situations.)

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

The assistants are Cooper, Tippett, DeBoer, and then an Oilers guy. There might be a reasonable argument that of the NHL coaches involved, Mclellan is the worst one. But IA with you about Cooper.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

The friggin GM is Chiarelli, who's probably tried to trade Eichel to Team Europe already.

They set this up as McDavid's team, which is why I want him to go pointless the entire tournament all while being spoonfed ice time and PP time while RNH, Mack and Johnny Hockey tear it up.

Some idiot will still write about how it was McDavid's leadership that brought them their success.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

Lol only reason McDavid has gotten more than a single shot on goal in a game was because he got an insane amount of PP time last game. His ice time is ridiculous.

MacKinnon and Johnny Hockey have been fantastic, and Eichel has been quite good considering he's spent two games at wing, too.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

[(Anonymous)]

They're playing him like a defenseman! It's absurd. And Mackinnon has done more with his 30 seconds of PP time than McDavid has done with his 30 years.

Putting them together at evens was such a bad idea. Mackinnon looked miserable and lost his cool and RNH's game suffered away from him. I hate that they're willing to tank other lines to cater to McDavid but it's not surprising at all.

Re: Seguin out of World Cup with injury

I noticed that they had Cooper running the PP at the end of the game against the Czechs. Which was interesting, because the Lightning PP is...not great. But at least they had him doing something! I like him as a coach.
