The NHL and the NHLPA got creative when they devised teams for the World Cup of Hockey, which kicks off in Toronto on Sept. 17. Sure, star-studded rosters representing Canada, the United States, Sweden, Finland, Russia and the Czech Republic were no-brainers.But organizers then added a European team made up of players from countries not competing in the tournament as well as a North American team made up of that continents best players aged 23 and under. But even with all those creative ways of adding teams, some prominent and talented players will be missing from the tournament.Which raises a question: How would a team made up entirely of snubs contend at the World Cup?Its not an outlandish concept, especially considering Canada could probably ice a second World Cup team with enough talent to at least compete.The first step in finding out for sure was to compile a full 23-man roster made up entirely of players not named to any of the tournaments eight teams. Which is exactly what we did:ForwardsTaylor Hall - Tyler Johnson - Corey PerryMilan Lucic - Nick Bjugstad - Wayne SimmondsJames Neal - Ryan Johansen - Phil KesselRick Nash -?Ryan OReilly?- Justin WilliamsKyle OkposoThis group was diluted recently by late roster additions. Kyle Palmieri was added to the American roster to replace the injured Ryan Callahan while Logan Couture was recently named to a Canadian team that lost Jamie Benn, who is recovering from abdominal surgery. Even with those two players removed from the talent pool, the all-snubs team features an awfully impressive group up front.It starts with a top line made up of three All-Stars in Canadians Hall and Perry, and American Johnson. All three could have -- some might say should have -- earned greater consideration for a roster spot on their respective national teams. Especially Perry, who is a Hart Trophy winner, Stanley Cup champion, three-time All-Star and all-world agitator.After them comes a bruising second line centered by American Bjugstad that would have been arguably the tournaments most terrifying trio. The group, featuring Bjugstad flanked by Canadas Lucic and Simmonds, boasts an average height of 6-foot-4 and average weight of 211 pounds. The third line should have instant chemistry with Johansen skating alongside his Nashville Predators linemate and fellow Canadian Neal.Johansen is a little young but they sure work well together. James Neal is a great player who works hard. The two of then would be very good together, said longtime Predators assistant coach and current broadcaster Brent Peterson, who loved the idea of the speedy Kessel playing the other wing on their line. That would be an awesome line. Youve got speed, youve got tenacity, two guys who can score with a guy who likes to set them up. Johansen can score, but hes looking for Neal all the time.Add a fourth unit centered by All-Star Ryan OReilly and this is a formidable group.DefensemenMark Giordano - P.K. SubbanCam Fowler - John KlingbergT.J. Brodie - Kevin ShattenkirkJustin FaulkOn practically any other team in this tournament, either Canadians Giordano or Subban would have been considered a shoe-in for the top pair. That Team Canada called on Jay Bouwmeester to replace the ailing Duncan Keith over either of them was something of a controversial move.Subban and Giordano would be amazing, and T.J. Brodie would be another guy that I would throw in there, said longtime NHL goaltender and current broadcaster Jamie McLennan. T.J. Brodies really good. Hes one of those guys who distributes the puck really well and makes everyone around him better.Hampus Lindholm would have earned consideration for this group had he not been called on to sub in for Niklas Kronwall on the Swedish team. Instead, his Anaheim Ducks teammate Cam Fowler of Canada skates alongside one of the worlds top young defensemen in John Klingberg. That Klingberg wont be skating for Sweden speaks to that teams all-world depth along the blue line. American All-Stars Kevin Shattenkirk and Justin Faulk shore up a defensive group that any nation would be happy to have.GoaltendersMartin JonesDevan DubnykBrian ElliottThe truly elite goalkeepers will be stacking their pads at the World Cup, and theyll mostly be suiting up for Canada, Finland and the United States. Some of the games top goaltenders will likely be relegated to tournament third-string duty, including two-time Stanley Cup champion Corey Crawford of Canada. Just three months after leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Stanley Cup win, Matt Murray finds himself battling John Gibson to be the No. 1 for Team North America.Taking all that into consideration, this team of also-rans would likely turn to some of the NHLs more experienced backstops, with one notable exception.Considering his consistent play and unflappable demeanor through the 2016 playoffs, Jones might have shown enough to shine in this international tournament. A backup before emerging with the San Jose Sharks last season, Jones already has some international experience, having won silver at the 2010 World Junior Championships and gold at the 2015 World Championships for Canada.People just waited for Martin Jones to show he could be a starter, and he did last year. He proved any doubters wrong, said McLennan, who wouldnt mind seeing one other big-name goaltender added to this group. What about Roberto Luongo? I know hes coming off hip surgery. If he wasnt injured, maybe thats a guy Id have on this list.Overall, this would likely be the thinnest position on an otherwise stacked roster. But the unit still includes a pair of All-Stars in Canadians Dubnyk and Elliott and wouldnt be considered a team flaw by any measure. Air Max 97 Mid x Riccardo Tisci .

Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. http://www.basketsliponpascher.fr/ . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged.

MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. Af1 Basse Pas Cher . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Lewis Hamilton said he barely noticed the Halo protection device when he ran it during Friday practice at the Singapore Grand Prix, while Fernando Alonso believes some work needs to be done on the concept to make it easier to get in and out of the car.Hamilton and Alonso tested the Halo prototype for the first time during FP1 at the Singapore Grand Prix, with both drivers completing a series of laps with the safety device attached. Hamilton, who has slowly warmed to the idea of introducing Halo in Formula One, says the downsides are outweighed by the FIAs claim that the Halo would deflect flying objects away from the drivers head 17 percent of the time.The Halo? Honestly I barely noticed it, apart from when Im in the garage and Ive got the TV screen, I cant see the TV screen! But it was actually not really a problem.In my mirrors I couldnt see my rear wing so it blocks a bit of a view in the mirror but otherwise going forwards I didnt really notice it..dddddddddddd I kind of felt like I should have just kept it on.It definitely doesnt look good but when we go back to that 17 percent its better than nothing.Alonso, who originally wanted the concept to be introduced as early as next year, said his only concern was about getting in and out of the car.The first impression with the Halo was that its quite difficult to get in and out of the car. In terms of visibility its obvious it reduces it but Im sure you get used to it quickly. When the nosecones were raised visibility became a lot worse but two or three years later we were all pretty used to it.Once the Halo is imposed there will be an initial impact but well all get used to it quickly. Theres work to be done in terms of design and accessibility has to improve, even for the mechanics to be able to tighten our seat belts. ' ' '
