USA Olympic team selection thread.

I can understand thinking Canadians are Americans...we're similar folk when it comes to ethnic background, etc. But...JAROMIR JAGR? Also, Jagr wouldn't make United States of Canada's team.

So she was glad they didn't pick Crosby but she would have him on the first line? Pix, she is either kidding or just plain crazy!

Different chick, hahah. This one wants Crosby to wear the stars and stripes

Y! SPORTS

*wipes tear from eye* Oh my gosh this is hilarious.


EDIT: Since it doesn't show the article title, USA Hockey mistakenly sent a text to a 67 year old Canadian man in Vancouver that he made the team instead of Kesler.

To be fair, some sports broadcasters in Canada were wondering why Lionel Messi wasn't playing for Spain in World Cup qualification games.

Reading her tweets, apparently it was a joke. Or so she says.

"Hahaha, you actually thought I blew a .81? Let's try that again in a couple hours, at my house!"

"Well sheet officer - I can' walk the white line!"

"Why not?"

"'cause I'm drunk!"

It's even funnier when you realize I based that on a real occurrence.

Daggum...what's with this Boston area girls? Pretty sure this one is serious too...but that'd mean she's REALLY dim.

@Masshockeygirl 48m
Why isn't Tuukka and Bergeron on team USA? smh

@Masshockeygirl 40m
And I'm so PISSED Towes isn't on team USA seriously I should just coach the goddamn team

@Masshockeygirl 28m
Seguin should be the captain of team USA I don't understand why he never wore it in Boston

@Masshockeygirl 19m
My first line would be Seguin-Crosby-Kane and then Bergeron-Jagr-Toews

My favorite about the Seguin one, is that it's many levels of funny...the US angle, and the "he should've been captain in Boston" angle.

At this point I just assumed they were doing it for attention.

I am flabbergasted that bobby Ryan and Keith yandle were omitted from this team! I am also upset that they did not take Ben bishop over Howard or quick!

Agreed.

Definitely not over Quick, but over Howard? Yes.

Yandle should have been in over Orpik though.

Please over Quick
He has been out with injury 1/2 the season so far. No need to get him hurt or let him near Russian vodka
