I'd be interested to hear on who fans think should have been on the team and who shouldn't have made it.
I know team USA sometimes make weird roster decision so I'm wondering if that plus the coaching is what did them in.
As a Sens fan and after a good showing in camp, I was excited to see Boucher suit up.
Boucher would've definitely been one of them. Some of McGroarty, Gauthier, Nazar, Snuggerud, Howard, Chesley, Hutson.
Instead we got guys like McKown, Duran, James, Moore, Truscott. Mid/late/undrafted picks, while first round or highly touted second rounders miss it.
Stramel shouldn't have been the 14th forward. And we shouldn't have had a first line with Slaggert and Mazur, nor should've Pastujov rotated between 12th and 13th forward. None of the lines had any chemistry. I think the first line looked good at times, but I'm pretty sure that was only Bordeleau carrying two guys who didn't belong in those spots.
Decisions were pretty awful all around, and not only in hindsight.
They lose and Pavel gloats... shocking...
I don't consider it gloating. I didn't want to be right.
However, I am not shutting my mouth about this. I had a lot of USAH shills that felt my opinion was so outrageous that I wasn't allowed to voice it. They tried to choke off my right to not be a USAH shill, and then I end up being the one that was right all along.
If my opinion was treated fairly, I wouldn't come back to say I was right. Funny how the people who were wrong don't even try to show their face now.
