MJDDawg Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Fair enough, but out of 47 players (42 skaters), 17 defencemen made the list. Last season, among Canadian D's, Garrison was 3rd in plus/minus and 9th in goals. See http://www.nhl.com/i...ewName=summary. He is big, can play a physical game, and is good on the PK and PP and can play shutdown and has a great shot. How does he not make the top 17?

King Heffy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nobody has been snubbed, even Hamhuis is a kind of surprise invite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander.Edler Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Garrison is better than Marc Edward Vlasic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 As soon as I saw the list I knew there would be a thread here whining about it. At least most posters have to good sense to realize no o e else deserved an invite and no one has brought up any insane anti-Canuck conspiracy theories yet.

TheCammer Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 This is exactly who I expected would be invited to the Camp. When the US announces its' list Kesler will likely be the only American invited. Sweden will include the Sedins and Edler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhuis2 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hammer and Lu are the only 2 players I expected, however I'm surprised that Methot got an invite. Garrison>Methot. Also surprised that Burns didn't based on his versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ultimately though I doubt Hamhuis can squeak in. I do feel that Canada's D-Core is already locked up with Keith, Seabrook, Weber, Doughty, Subban, Letang, with only one space left it's doubtful Hammer will take it.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 No one aside from Lu and Hammer deserved to be invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Team Canada got it right. I don't think Hamhuis will make it unless he really steps it up in camp, there are too many guys ahead of him, although he might have an outside chance as a 7th defenseman. Luongo is basically a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 How? We don't have very good Canadian players. Kesler will be on Team USA Edler, Henrik, Daniel will be on Team Sweden 5 Olympic players (6 With hammer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nobody was snubbed and our team will be well represented. Hansen, Edler, Sedin and Sedin, and at least two other guys plus Gaunce Horvat Shinkaruk Corrado and possibly Subban going to the WJC. We are well represented.

Langdon Algur Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Burrows was bordline on deserving an invite, but definitly wasn't the most obvious snub from the list (that award goes to Ward and Ignila). I'm happy Hamhuis got an invite actually didn't think he would although he deserves it. Overall, I don't really think the Canucks got snubed but still voted for Burrows.

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 How? We don't have very good Canadian players. Kesler will be on Team USA Edler, Henrik, Daniel will be on Team Sweden Hansen and Jensen will be on Team Denmark (not a deep team) 7 Olympic players is pretty damn good. (8 if Hamhuis makes it).

Warhippy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Isn't Corrado to old now for the WJC? Plus he'll likely make the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linden53 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't think anyone was snubbed, after looking at the list of forwards, I cannot think of one player on the list I would take off for Burrows to be there, on defence, I see a few names that I personally would not have invited, Subban, Letang, Alzner, Phaneuf. However, I can see why they were chosen, Hammer should make the team, will likely start as the #7 guy and when weak teams light up the likes of Subban and Letang, he'll end up on the second pairing settling down the backend. Bobby Lu will be the starter, I don't see anyone taking that from the defending Gold medalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I agree with the selections. No way in hell Burrows was displacing any of those all-star forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raph Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Luongo is really the only Canadian that deserves to be there. If Hamhuis makes it, it will only be due to lots of injuries or declines. Burrows is overrated when you have centres who can be just as effective but can also take faceoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
