Wow, the three of them are deciding together...judging by their success, I'm guessing it'll take them a long time to finally get it right.

The Oilers will never win with this trio. Never.

They are probably all whining at Perron as we speak
"Buttttttt Perronnnnnnn we don't want to go and you can't make us!" As they in the back seat of Perron's Honda Odyessey that he had to get to carry the "kids" around in

Is KLowe involve with Team Canada? If not, then there is huge chance that those 3 players RNH, Hall and Eberle become a winner at least in 2014.

I expect Giordano, Brodie, Cammy and even Russel getting an invite. Maybe Monahan shown enough for Rob Blake and company to get an invite as well.

Nope

Rob Blake, Hextall, Brad Trelliving and Brad Pascal are the management team this year.

Minsk, eh? I wonder if I can find a cheap flight. Or an erotic train journey from Milan.

EDIT: I just found a flight with a stopover in Moscow for £196,225. I'm sure I can do better.

No

Brent Wallace‏@tsn_wally6m

Marc Methot has accepted an invitation to play for Canada at the World Championships.

Someone will have to let the Oilers know that there are no draft picks as a reward for losing at the World Championships.

[d_phaneuf]

if this is Hall not wanting to go because he was put on the 3rd/4th line last year at the WC by Lindy Ruff he's showing Team Canada everything they need to see about whether he's olympic material if the NHL goes in 2018

I just think its hilarious that the Three Mouseketeers have to huddle up.

So, how does this work? Does Hall make the call because he was drafted higher than Eberle and before RNH or does Eberle decide because he was drafted first? Or do they vote? Does RNH not get a vote until he has to shave on a regular basis?

Do they have to first and second the motion and then bring it before the 'House of Nugent-Hopkins' where RNH's mom decides whether the boys can go to camp or not?

If they do decide to go, who signs their permission slips?

Most importantly, and I ask as a neutral third-party observer, what does Schultzy have to do to get inducted into the Cabal? Is there a hazing ceremony? Since he isnt getting the 6x6 yet does he still have to drink a donkey's blood? Or can he challenge the acceptance process by knife-fighting a monkey to the death in a cage match?

“@EdmontonOilers: #Oilers players confirmed for the upcoming World Championship are Perron (Canada), Belov (Russia), Marincin (Slovakia) and Petry (USA).”

[MissTeeks]

“@ice_chip: No surprise: Eric Staal says he will not play for Canada in World Championship this year.”

[MissTeeks]

“@FarhanLaljiTSN: Henrik tells me he declined an invitation to play for Sweden at the World Championships. #canucks”

“@FarhanLaljiTSN: Burrows also going to World Championships. No love for Eddie Lack though from team Sweden”

[SuperMatt18]

We'll guess I can't cheer for Canada with that POS Burrows on the team, not sure why he's even invited with his 5 goals this year.

Sure you can, just hope he gets injured early on and can't play. I hate that a pos like that is representing my home country.

[Roof-Daddy]

Not that I follow them that much, but why in the fat flying **** is Burrows going to the World Championships for? Especially after the season that POS just had.

[irrevocable]

I hope Turris tears it up!

[Racki]

Ok, let's be honest. This is really a meaningless tournament to Canadians right? Because if Eberle, Hall, RNH, Perron and Burrows are representing Canada, I would just hope that all the Canadian Flames refuse to go and I could cheer for the US. (only if Johnny got an invite)
