GDT: 9/20 - Canada vs. USA - 8 PM ET

[GMofOilers]

The most remarkable thing about this beyond stacked Canada team is that two of the three best Canadian players are injured (Benn and Seguin).

One playing on the U23 team

Suter is making your team over JayBo lets be serious here guys.

Letang or Subban can make it also. We don't even need to have Duncam Keith here. We the best.


Throw in a random mediocre like Jay Bouw for giggles.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

This Sportsnet broadcast needs more George Strombopolopopulous.

I will take the letter 'o' Alex and solve the puzzle

 

[JT Kreider]

Suter is making your team over JayBo lets be serious here guys.

Not over Subban or Letang though.

Aside from a few piss poor world championships, this is by far the worst team USA performance I have ever seen in my life.

 

[KaylaJ]

Roenick should be added

The same guy who thought the US blackballed him in 2006 for not choosing him and questioned Drury's selection in 2010?

And if Hull is invited, I do hope he's learned something from his days of signing Avery when he was with Dallas.


Speaking of, I still hate the 98 US team, but this one def went above and beyond that.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Roenick should be added

Roenick is an idiot. Great Player tho.

 

[VoidCreature]

Maybe Quick isn't at fault for them being down, though the second goal was terrible rebound control, but he sure as hell isn't making many tough saves. The gap in talent between the teams is monumental and the U.S. needed their goalie to steal the game. Problem is, they chose the worst one on the roster

He made the best case for the job in the pre-tournament.

That said, if Bishop doesn't come out for the second Torts is a disgrace. This game is getting away from them, they need to do something to change the energy. And they don't have a timeout, so...

 

[JaegerDice]

Is Patrick Kane playing?

*checks ice time*

Holy crap, Team Canada is doing a good job of keeping him not only off the board, but off the television screen.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Roenick is an idiot. Great Player tho.

and a great dancer

 

[John Agar]

I am just as surprised as anyone else that Jaybo is on. I would much rather have Subban or Letang playing the offside.

I agree 'Pegger...

Though I would like JoBo better on the international ice surface... he is really good on that surface.

 

[lakai17]

Roenick is an idiot. Great Player tho.

He wil speak his mind though

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Is that why there were 4 Americans in the top 10 scoring last year?

There were also 4 Americans in the top 25 scoring last season.

 

[KGL]

The most remarkable thing about this beyond stacked Canada team is that two of the three best Canadian players are injured (Benn and Seguin).

Not to mention Jeff Carter and Duncan Keith.

 

[nhlfan9191]

I am just as surprised as anyone else that Jaybo is on. I would much rather have Subban or Letang playing the offside.

They took the insurance of getting somebody to play with Doughty if Muzzin didn't work out and it's worked out. What's there to complain about so far?

 

[ijuka]

USA 22 hits Canada 6 huh

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not over Subban or Letang though.

Is Babcock the coach and Hockey Canada still picking the team... I seriously doubt Babcock leaves Suter off. Heck they would pair him and Weber for the last bunch of tournaments if it was an option. Ryan Suter is a Top 5 D-man that is great in his own end. Management and coaches never shut up about the guy when he roles into town, he would get picked by the people that matter.

 

[lakai17]

Is Patrick Kane playing?

*checks ice time*

Holy crap, Team Canada is doing a good job of keeping him not only off the board, but off the television screen.

Sucks for Kane, one of the best competitors on the ice with no support here.

 

[Confucius]

Roenick is an idiot. Great Player tho.

Great radio personality I could listen to him allday

 

[Xokkeu]

Him and Lindros in today's league is a frightening thought. Lindros in particular would be getting guys sent out on stretchers without the ability of the other D-man to hold him while you went to retrieve the dump in.

When Crosby gets this we can talk.

Subban said no to Canada at the World's in spring. Marchand and Duchene said yes, they got rewarded. Babcock does not want gamblers, only team first low key players.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Roenick is an idiot. Great Player tho.

He's still trying to prove he is the best non-cup player to play. Sadly he will go to the grave without it.

 

[Barrie22]

They already had that insurance in vlasic. Those 2 were the best pairing in sochi.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Gord!!!!

 

[Killahpunk]

Gord sighting!
