Kris Joseph

Nice to see in the QHoops article that he still wants to play for Canada down the road.

The boys lost to Slovenia today too… not the greatest trip, huh?

Hope they get healthy for the tournament.

You hit it on the nose my friend – I think health is the thing that we should really worry about. Winning and losing are all irrelevant pre World Championship. These are the times you want to lose and work out the kinks. Right now, everyone staying healthy for the Worlds is the most important thing right now.

I dont know

beating Serbia is no small feat. Has Canada ever beaten them before?

by Pat Lok on Aug 19, 2010 9:49 PM EDT reply actions  

I don’t think Canada’s beaten Serbia before. It would have been Yugoslavia if there was a win on that front and that is going back a hell of a long time. It was a big win for sure.
