Price>Holtby>Schneider>Bishop

Disagree.

Price

Bishop
Holtby

Quick
Schneider

Crawford

It's close, but in my opinion it is still team USA.

 

[Six Assets]

Man I remember in Sochi when people were worried about Canada's goalie future. Look at us now.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Kane high stick. Lol.

 

[Del Preston]

That looked worse than it was. He has no hair to grip onto the inside of the helmet.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

What happened with Getz there?

 

[BigKing]

For those saying Quick is trash on the international stage, he is the only reason the game against Canada was close at Sochi and TJ Oshie doesn't get a chance to be an American Hero if Quick doesn't stop something like 12 shootout attempts.

He just got beat by a highly skilled player on a great move. So if Schneider gets beat there, it's a good move but Quick gets beat and he sucks because it doesn't fit your agenda?

Schneider hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt so he needed to perform in the pre-tourney games. Quick has earned the benefit of the doubt with Team USA but also performed in the pre-tourney games.

It's a pretty easy decision, actually. The deck was stacked against Team USA to begin with so it isn't a shocker if they lose this game. The guy with the more impressive big game resume who isn't close to being dead yet--no matter what the armchair jockeys in here want to believe--won the job, simple as that.

Easy to snipe in hindsight. I started all of my Saints and Giants in fantasy football last week because it was the smart decision. Wound up being wrong but doesn't mean it wasn't the logical move going into Sunday's games.

 

[Hank Plank]

Takes off helmet with stick, no call.

 

[General Zodd]

anyone else think Canada can up several more levels?

 

[pierre gagnon*]

can't be a better high stick then that, kane got away with another one

 

[Claude28Giroux]

That looked worse than it was. He has no hair to grip onto the inside of the helmet.

lmao

 

[Zybalto]

How is that not high sticking?

His stick was right through the ear hole.

How is Bishop better than the reigning Vezina winner again

Thank you. I found the rest of the group:

Dean Lombardi, General Manager
Paul Holmgren, Assistant General Manager
Brian Burke, Senior Advisor
Jim Johannson, Hockey Operations
John Tortorella, Head Coach
Mike Sullivan, Assistant Coach
John Hynes, Assistant Coach
Phil Housley, Assistant Coach
Jack Capuano, Assistant Coach
Scott Gordon, Assistant Coach

Team Canada makes mistakes sometimes as well in selection but USA has so many players that are better than Abdelkader that it's remarkable that so many people okayed his selection.

 

[dechire]

I can't believe they built this entire ****** roster just to beat Canada and here they are getting embarrassed by Canada

 

[ZARTONK]

The NHL17 physics engine messed up with that helmet there...

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Abby showing the hockey IQ that got him a $4.25 million 7 year deal from the Red Wings.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Wooo Canada, great 1st period.

 

[DearDiary]

Kane looks and sees the back of Toews jersey and crosschecks him

Eh depth isn't so important with goaltending....Having the very best matters more then your third stringer being better.

 

[John Agar]

Corey Perry sweeps the leg.

Perry was in the Karate Kid ?

 

[lakai17]

Beautiful period.

Don cherry will be great entertainment this intermission.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Oh now you guys are worried about team stats? I thought Quick having a cup meant we should drop everything and anoint him starter?

Huh? I didn't bring up stats, I'm talking about what's occurring on the ice. Save yourself the embarrassment if you aren't going to pay any attention to what's occurring in this game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Perry is such a ****ing dirtbag. I dislike very few players in the NHL, he's one of them. He tries to injure someone nearly every game. Its not even an NHL game, and he's trying to injure players. He did the same thing to Laine at the World Championships.
