World Cup: 2016 World Cup — Team USA

[satbank]

Burn this team to the ground and anyone associated with building this team. Get shot out of a cannon.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Man this is so ****ing embarrassing.

 

[Xokkeu]

As long as this kills the Team North America concept, I'll take the hit. Short term pain for long term gain.

If NA wins the whole thing, they'll probably have to bring them back.

 

[CornKicker]

lol oh man team europe in the semis? you cant build a team to play Canada and not show up to the other games lol

 

[William H Bonney]

Please be the end of this USA Hockey Management staff.

That would be bizarre, if they won. What would the organizers do in 12 years when the tournament returns to it's regular cycle.

 

[Shockmaster]

Please be the end of this USA Hockey Management staff.

Has to start with Brian Burke. That guy shouldn't be allowed to have say for any Team USA international tournaments.

 

[Wats]

I can't believe i'm saying this, but I think i'm going to cheer against Team USA today. Something has to change within the brain-trust. This is just ****ing ridiculous at this point.

Palmieri get scratched while that worthless sack of **** Abdelkader stays in the lineup so he can be what, a post-whistle scrum all-star?

Byfuglien scratched?!

**** these guys man.

It's getting close to the point where you could build a better Team USA squad out of the players NOT playing in todays game for them.

Phil Kessel
Bobby Ryan
Kyle Okposo
Tyler Johnson
Kyle Palmieri
Jason Pominville

Dustin Byfuglien
Justin Faulk
Kevin Shattenkirk
Keith Yandle
Torey Krug
Alex Goligoski

Cory Schneider

GOTTA HAVE THEM GRINDERS THOUGH!!

Bobby Ryan - Alex Gachenyuk - Phil Kessel
Kyle Palmieri - Tyler Johnson - Kyle Okposo

McDavid and Matthews would be eligible for Team NA in 2020

 

[KaseMeOutside]

hey man we got all that grit tho

 

[KingsFan7824]

Not engaged mentally, physically, or especially emotionally. Took them almost 2 full periods before they started moving their feet.

 

[William H Bonney]

Bobby Ryan - Alex Gachenyuk - Phil Kessel
Kyle Palmieri - Tyler Johnson - Kyle Okposo

Galchenyuk is Team NA eligible, so they didn't have the option to screw that one up.

All the other guys, plus others, should be here.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

This loss is all on USA management and Torts.

 

[William H Bonney]

Gee, what a surprise when you only take half your top eligible forwards:

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Alrighty, so who do we have that could replace the current management?

 

[Divine]

Alrighty, so who do we have that could replace the current management?

Ron Wilson is looking for a coaching gig.

I think after North America picked we could pick them right? Oh the stupidity.

 

[Xokkeu]

McDavid and Matthews would be eligible for Team NA in 2020

McDavid might be the reason North America is created, and why it's killed. Can't see him being left off Canada again.

 

[William H Bonney]

If you don't replace Jim Johansson, he'll just keep rotating between Burke, Lombardi, Poile, Holmgren, Tallon, and Bowman.

Johansson needs to go first.

But ideally whomever you target embraces the game as it is today and not as it was in the 90s. The lack of vision is old. I'm so sick of the staff trying to recreate the '96 World Cup team or the '10 Olympic team.

 

[William H Bonney]

I think after North America picked we could pick them right? Oh the stupidity.

No, anyone eligible for Team NA was only eligible for Team NA.

 

[CornKicker]

do the americans trash their hotel rooms already or do they wait a few more games?

 

[Bixby Snyder]

The NHL needs the US to do well at this tournament and leaving the best US talent on the U24 NA doesn't help that. I think the 2 gimmick teams were a one-off just for 2016.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Johansson needs to go first.

Is there any way to resurrect Herb Brooks? Surely he can't be as bad as any of those clowns.

 

[Wolfpuck]

The current USA brain trust has to go.
