Alex was impressed the way Johnny Morra played in the finals of the Canadian 10-ball.
Johnny won 10-3 in the finals....and kept Alex in his chair.

He figures that the Canucks might be ready for another border clash.....
...win or lose, he thinks we can produce a better match.

Jason Klatt beat Alex hill/hill for the Canadian 8-ball title this year....
...a must for the Border team.

Big Red has to be considered...has won Canadian championships since he was a junior.
I was there when he won the Prince Albert ...lotta great players in the field.

I would love to see another one of these. Alex is playing as well as anyone on the planet right now and Johnny has really stepped up to the elite ranks in the last few years. Add in Klatt, Martel/Grenier and Big Red and you've got a strong team.

Have you spoken to Wych? Surely he's got the connections to make this happen!

How about winner gets to play Europe in the Mosconi Cup?
That would really up the stakes!

I've always felt that Canadians and Americans should be on the same team...
....Continent vs Continent....




Asia plays the winner

If Alex isn't enough flash for the Canadian team, we have another player in the wings...
....Luc Salvas....he doesn't spend very much on table time.

Sylvain Grenier....can be explosive...first time I saw him in the US Open....
...he was playing a good player...the poor guy got to three.
The short format of the team contest should suit him fine,

Mario Morra....he's not getting any younger, but he's still not taking any prisoners.
....not many people can say they've beaten Johnny Archer at nine-ball in his prime...
....and Jimmy White at snooker in his prime....both wins were in important tournaments.

I remember watching the border battle when I was in my 20s. Really miss it. The mosconi cup is awesome but I would love to see some canucks in an international team event!

Going to find an old video of the border battle to watch right now

MIA....these players have been inactive...but they would be great to have on the team...
....if they would just start playing again.

Tyler Edey......had some great results when he played full time.
