Asunto: National team Q&A

I just want to say Good Luck

Ouch... I hope we won't be playing relegation round again...

It's time to introduce the first 16 players who have secured roster spots for the Season 7 World Championsips:

In goal:
Noah Tierney

At centre:
William Beliveau
Rob McKenzie
Stu Fotiadis

At wing:
Corey Fortin
Larry Lukic
Aaron Girard
Steve Whitton
Émile Marker
Eddie Mendonca

At defence:
Correy Cox
Alexis Newsome
Dale Holsworth
Alex Thatcher
Brian Himsworth
Bobby Horsfield

This leaves 12 spots still available. They will be revealed at the conclusion of the playoffs.

I really hope to see more toughness.

it seems like i got 1/1 for goalie, 5/6 for defense, 2/3 for centre, and 5/6 for wings (:

The roster looks good Alex. Should be a good game tomorrow.

I hope so!

But I won't comment before the game, some Irish spies might be around there

Looks like our third line was the weak link today. Valiant effort though! We took it to the shootout!

Ah well. It was intended to be a line of sharp shooters. and it worked pretty well according to ratings, but they completed -2. These guys need more chemistry. It might have been better if it would have been the 4th line actually, although I wanted some of them on special units.

Anyway, that's a loss for Team Canada, I would say the kind of loss Brutal Deluxe are now used to: more OTS, more shots, special units worked well, but at the end the other team scored more goals. Sorry guys

Some notes on the team though:

- I would like to see better shooting in the team. The lack of shooting is especially true amonst defenders...
- Tierney has already full chemistry, that's why he didn't start the game today. Unfortunately Ludlam didn't do the job in 1st period.

I sound like a broken record but the top teams will have better shooters then we do for a long time. Why not have a 3rd line of shutdown like in the NHL?

if there is a line match up function in the game, that would be great, but otherwise.. i'm not sure

I have my defensive specialists on line 3, that way I can use them on my PK unit.

Ditto. My line three has very little 5v5 time. The two D are there strictly for PP and 2 to 3 of the forwards are there for PK roles. 4th line gets 2x or more 5v5 ice time than 3rd line.

Let's build team around counter tactis of other team. Maybe that means having more players with high DEF or something like that.
