TORONTO -- Some quick thoughts on Team Canada's 16-player preliminary World Cup roster announced Wednesday:
These are the three goalies I had on my list last month when I last did my projected Team Canada roster, and I suspect these are the three choices from most people around the game. Price and Holtby were the automatic 1-2. Then management had to decide the No. 3 spot, and while Roberto Luongo and Marc-Andre Fleury deserved strong consideration, I think it's long overdue for Crawford to get his due on the big squad given his clutch, championship performances for the Blackhawks.
The real story here is that general manager Doug Armstrong and his management staff decided to fill all three goalie slots this early and not leave one spot open ahead of the June 1 final roster deadline.Vipnhlcoins is the best place to Buy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. 100% safe & cheap [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] promise, 7/24 Online Support, We delivery Hockey Ultimate Team Pucks in 1-30 minutes.
I think the reason for this is Price's murky standing, as the reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner has missed most of the season with a suspected right knee injury. By naming both Holtby and Crawford now, Team Canada has both those guys mentally ready and focused with the assurance they're already on the team and, should Price withdraw at some point, there's no confusion what the 1-2 punch becomes: Holtby and Crawford followed by a new No. 3. So I think Armstrong wanted to clearly identify the hierarchy.
