Bad news for the Canadian.
Even if it was to be expected, Nick Suzuki failed to convince the Canadian bosses that he deserved his place at the Four Nations Tournament, which will take place in February at the Bell Center and in Boston.
This is what Marco D’Amico reports.
Obviously, the situation could change if there are injuries and Canada decides to call on the Canadian captain, but for the moment, that is not the case.
He will therefore have days off ahead of him in February, if nothing changes.
Obviously, this says a lot about the Canadian since the captain and the club’s #1 goalie (let me assume that Samuel Montembeault will not make the Canadian team) are not chosen.
But that shouldn’t surprise anyone… even if #14 won the Molson Cup in November.
Unless the United States decides to choose Cole Caufield or the Finns turn to Joel Armia (I don’t believe it), the Montreal Canadiens could be more than poorly represented.
In fact, it can be explained like this: the guys are not good enough for the top-6 and they don’t have the profile of a guy of bottom-6. That of Canada could also be quite surprising.
I wonder to what extent this will reduce the interest of Montreal fans in the tournament. I’m not talking about the audience at the Bell Center here, but rather the people in front of their TV.
We’ll see in due time.
