Social media has been abuzz with a range of reactions, with one fan tweeting:"Surprised Logan Thompson, Matt Barzal and Dougie Hamilton didn't even get an invite."Another fan voiced concerns about the state of Team Canada's goaltending depth:"How did things get so bad in net? Roy, Brodeur, Luongo, Fleury, now this? Why did Canada stop developing goalies?"Here are some more reactions from fans on X/Twitter:"Barzal is better than most of this forward group. Would you trade Barzal even up for Byfield? How about Cirelli? Or Hagel? Would Edmonton rather have Hyman or Barzal? I could go on for awhile," one fan wrote."Why the heck are they wasting time on Horvat? He's not Olympic caliber," another fan said."No Logan Thompson just means brass wanted to reassure Binner that it is his to lose and not to fight for," a fan commented."Nice to see Suzuki is getting some respect, he deserves it. He and Hutson dragged the Habs into the playoffs last year!!" another fan added.The roster includes 22 players who were part of Team Canada's triumphant 4 Nations Face-Off campaign last February.
