Really? Seabrook has a bomb for a shot like 210 and is much better in the defensive end.

Here it goes again, crap defense coach like Hitch and Claude and left wing Bablock make for crap low scores. Canada will have games 2-1 and 1-2 because crap no offense coach guy's. When will they learn and that's why these crap guy's never win gold games if it goes to a shootout. They pick coaches and player that cant score but it dont help when you have shootout cause you can't play trap crap in shootout. Trap not allowed because good players are on the bench listen to Hitch and Ruff and Babcock nose his team cant win when they need goals during the game before the crap shootout. This is why NHL teams should not go to olympics to make this crap league look like crap this will end hockey and it is just plain crap. It should make all hockey people feel like crap and they should not go to games. olympics dont count anyway because teams win without scoring with all the players on the ice aand not watching this crap from the bench with crappy Claude, Ruff and HitchBabcock. Sickninh crap.

Yeah, he's also up there. Maybe they (Team Canada officials) were worried he'd skipped out on a restaurant bill in Sochi

It's okay if Tavares doesn't make the team guys. YOU REALLY DON'T NEED HIM!!

Very surprised Hamonic got invited to camp. I realize he's got no shot, but it should be a great experience for him.

If he's not on the team, we need an inquest.

Crosby, Toews, Getzlaf, Stamkos, Bergeron & Giroux. I could go on & on. How many Centers do you guys need?

In all honesty, I'd rather have Tavares over Getzlaf and Giroux. The guy delivers in international play (don't need stupid drunk Getzlaf on the team).

Well there's always Thornton & Marleau
