Olympic Games: Scott Wedgewood added to Hockey Canada’s roster

In reality, as we reach the quarter-way point of the season, it’s clear that something has to change in Edmonton. What’s going on doesn’t make sense.

The club’s masked men have an efficiency rate of .860 after 25 games. This is the club’s worst mark for the first 25 games of a season in over 45 years.

The Oilers will look at their options to improve… but it’s been years of nothing changing. Will they really be able to find a decent goalie under the circumstances?

We all have our doubts.

We suspected that Team Canada (with an eye on the Olympics) couldn’t be impressed by the Stuart Skinner or Samuel Montembeault of this world since the start of the season… and we’ve just had further proof.

According to Darren Dreger, Scott Wedgewood has been added to Hockey Canada’s roster.

Wedgewood is having a great season in Colorado, which is really the club of the hour in the NHL. So it’s not illogical when you look at it that way.

But seeing him on this list reminds us just how difficult it is for Canada to find a worthy goaltender, doesn’t it?

You have to look at all the possibilities…

Let’s not forget that the three goalkeepers who took part in the Confrontation are either off to a poor start or injured – in the case of Adin Hill. That shouldn’t stop Jordan Binnington from going to the Olympics… but what if it doesn’t?

– Good question.

– His name is the talk of the town right now.

– A name to watch in the draft.

– Noah Dobson at the Games? [BPM Sports]

– Jamie Benn scored his 400th NHL goal yesterday.

– Several games on the schedule tonight, but none tomorrow. It’s American Thanksgiving, but in Canada, we call it… Thursday.
