USA Olympic team selection thread.

Don't know how they're going to do this but.....here we go.

 

[pixburgher66]

This D is um...confusing?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Three Buffalo natives.

 

[pixburgher66]

Some shocking ones: no Bobby Ryan (Blake Wheeler instead) and no Keith Yandle (Orpik instead?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Wow quite a few New York State guy's.

 

[pixburgher66]

Pretty happy with no Jack Johnson...not gonna lie.

 

[dash]

Can Bobby Ryan become a Canadian citizen in the next few days?

 

[Upstater]

I just can't wait for the Olympic tournament. Always fun to watch.

Wheeler's having a pretty good season pix.

No Bobby Ryan is shocking

 

[pixburgher66]

I really dislike the ommission of Yandle though. Him over Carlson/Fowler every day of the week.

Wheeler's having a pretty good season pix.

No doubt...but Bobby Ryan is still a better player. Obviously not everyone can go, but man...I thought he was a lock.

 

[pixburgher66]

Also, Justin Faulk over Keith Yandle. WHAT?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Sure, Just tell him to go to Mexico and cross the boarder dash. It's a piece of cake, he'll be a citizen by Saturday.

 

[TiLoBrown]

Well, here's hoping we even medal now

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I got distracted did they name three goalies? I heard Miller and Howard...........

LOL.

Also...as a Sens fan and a Canadian I am MORE than happy with Ryan being left off the team.

The guy has been flat out amazing this year.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I wonder if they have an alternates list in case someone get's hurt?

 

[pixburgher66]

Apparently there was a few guys on the selection committee who thought he didn't fit on the team. Said he skated "sleepy". WTF? Said he wasn't a top 2 line guy, didn't play hard enough for third/fourth line, couldn't PK, wasn't part of top PP units. Thirty. Goals.

BRB, gonna take out Faulk.
