Leafs at World Championships

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 44m
Team Canada should have its roster finalized and final assistant coach decision made by tomorrow.

Looks like we won't have to wait long to find out which Leafs will be going. I'll be disappointed if Rielly and Bozak turn down the invitation. It would be mind-boggling, actually.

Skilled and very young. Glad to see him there though.

I'm looking forward to watching him.  Think he can excel in a tournament like this.

It's taking place on international ice too. I think the Olympics showed that bigger ice doesn't necessarily mean more offence, but I do still think it benefits players like Gardiner greatly.

Peter Laviolette will be the coach of the US team. This might be relevant to this thread later on.

Laviolette is a nutcase. I'd rather Carlyle stays.

Don't say things you can't take back man haha.

Anything in particular happen to make you think that? I just never got that vibe.

Toronto's James Reimer has agreed to play for Canada at upcoming Worlds.

Nice! Good for him!

Re: Laviolette, and to be taken with a grain of salt, I guess, but the Flyers threw him under the bus when he was fired worse than most coaches I've ever seen be thrown under the bus. Snider spoke about them having the most disorganized training camp he'd ever seen, etc...

Among those confirmed for Canada at worlds: Rielly, Reimer, Turris, Methot, Monahan, Gudbranson, Ward, Brouwer, Bieksa.

Rielly confirmed, apparently.

I hope they both have great tournaments. I'd like to see Riemer redeem himself and have tons of suitors for his services next year.

Still no word about Bozak.

Great news, do we think he'll see any playing time or will he be a backup?

So far he's the only goalie announced.

Just going with one goalie to ensure maximum blame potential.

It's funny, the last time Reimer went, he kept winning, but looked sort of weird/shaky on a few goals ... then Bernier came in and Hitchcock made him starter immediately.
 
Based on a few random Twitter conversations I read, it sounds like Bozak is in limbo, as a guy Blake has on hold as a "just in case" if other guys decline.

@ThomasDrance Bozak said he wants to be there. Looks like Blake would prefer other guys over him
 
They added Scheifele and Hodgson to the roster today. Turris and Monahan are the other two centres on the team. I doubt they bring in another without waiting to see who becomes available after the first round.
 
Weird that it seems even the team thought he was going.
