Bob, Tyuts, and Artem will make it. Nikitin needs a strong showing

Team USA's roster released.

Just Johnson. Surprisingly, no Dubinsky.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Methot is the lone Senator invited to Canada's Summer orientation.

Dude is a workhorse.

No Jackets among Hockey Canada camp invitees. Two ex-CBJ.

He got passed over by Wheeler, Bjugstad, and Craig Smith. That's awful

Not knowing much about the KHL guys it looks like Nikitin still has a pretty good chance to make it. Looking at USA....WOW. If I was Dubinsky i'd be pretty pissed to not even get a look over a handful of those guys. Even though i'm biased a bit and he's more of a scorer I think Atkinson should've gotten a look over these guys as well. Both of them (Dubi especially) can bring more grit, energy and "secondary" scoring in a 3rd or 4th line role than Bennett, Bjugstad, Lewis, Abdellkader, Smith, Saad, Palmieri.


First Canada now America...I'm gonna have to go with the Russians now.

Until they put Varlamov in net.

Huh? Wheeler is better than Dubi.

Some other player's on that list, are not however.

But even better player wasn't invited, in Pominville.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Who's left? Gabby? That's it?

 

[Samkow]

Maybe Markus Soberg, one of the recent picks makes Norway (really have no idea), but yeah, that's it.

So whats the story? We know there's no way they thought all those guys are better than Dubi. Did he piss someone off?

 

[Jackets440]

What about Dano? Will he make the Slovakian team?

 

[FlaggerX]

Anyone think Gaborik won't be playing?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What about Dano? Will he make the Slovakian team?

NHL.com projected he would be.

Trevor Lewis was invited, for Christ's sake. Unless Dubi has a lingering injury or he flat out refused, there's no reason he shouldn't have gotten the call.

Lone Senator? How many wives of higher-ups would Jason Spezza have to get openly involved with in order to just keep him out of the preliminary camp?

 

[Skraut]

Thanks for reminding me, I need to clear the 2010 curling off my DVR, to make room for 2014 curling.

Long Live Norway's Pants!

Poile on #CBJ D Jack Johnson: "He's a guy we think very highly of, both on and off the ice. He's really dedicated to our program."

 

[ScreamingWild]

Todd Richards getting some love. Member of US coaching squad. Congrats, well earned!

 

[CBJx614]

That would be very impressive if Dano made the team, it would do wonders for his development to practice and play with Gaborik, Hossa and Chara. I'm really interested to see if he can keep up and make some contributions. Doesn't anyone know if any other draftees have a chance to make a team this year? I wonder if Murray had played last season if he would have a chance to be on the WC again.

So, US roster gets released at the Winter Classic today.

Here's one guys guess - no JJ, but a Dubi

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/12/31/hartnetts-usa-hockey-roster-projections-for-sochi-2014/

and I don't see Jimmy Howard or Quick being more deserving than Ben Bishop - although I think the three G's have already been announced and Bishop is out

I'm a homer, but seriously.... What have Dubi and JJ done to deserve a spot?
