[Based Anime Fan]

Big Buff... what a people's champion.

 

[catsmasher]

This game needs doc emerick desperately.

 

[satbank]

I'm always surprise to see Byfuglien skating around like that.

 

[SniperHF]

Team USA is a joke. Quick is a stud tho.

I was skeptical of the Quick decision but certainly nothing to complain about thus far.

 

[SirPaste]

How is Justin abdelkader on this team? Ridiculous.

Because in a tournament like this skill guys like Kessel will hold you back.


Oh wait....

 

[Nalens Oga]

Yeah I can't believe they picked Getzlaf over Perry until Benn got injured. Perry is better now than Getzlaf along with a few guys left off like Hall.

Also, did we really need both Weber AND Vlasic? One of the two, preferably Vlasic would've been fine, we want Subban.

 

[BigRangy]

This game needs doc emerick desperately.

It needs Bob Cole.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Quick is giving up a lot of rebounds

 

[Pi]

How many guys on team USA would make team Canada?

Apart from Kane I can't think of a single other guy who would for sure make it.

Maybe Pavelski as a LW probably Suter.

USA is like the third or fourth best team in this tournament. They aren't that good overall as a team, they have just one superstar, Kane.

 

[jj cale]

Good thing Quick is sharp right now.

Keeping them in it right now.

I recall there being some debate on the U.S thread about him being the starter.

 

[Yarborough]

Big Buff putting the team on his back

Him and quick seem to be the only ones who've done anything so far

 

[Che vy Teemuchuk]

Well, Schneider's in mid-season form.

Dam this is fun as a Jets fan. Wheels and Buff vs Team Canada. Fun stuff.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

seguin miffed twice, still in summer mode. Cannot believe the quality players USA left off the roster

 

[ijuka]

8 blocked shots by USA so far and we all know there will be a lot more of those.

Fun to see corsi stats for this game.

 

[jj cale]

It needs Bob Cole.

Cole would be great.

This game needs a guy like him.

 

[SirPaste]

Well, Schneider's in mid-season form.

Schneider is in the pressbox...

Quick is in net

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Keeping them in it right now.

I recall there being some debate on the U.S thread about him being the starter.

Was this being debated by those who are unfamiliar with Quick?

 

[Canucks LB]

LMFAO patrick kane is skating so slow, holy god, this is no doubt preseason LOL

 

[Beerz]

USA is like the third or fourth best team in this tournament. They aren't that good overall as a team, they have just one superstar, Kane.

More like 5th or 6th

 

[Kurt Cobain]

They didnt take Tyler Johnson or Kessel, who knows if Eich would have even been on the team.

Buff skatin for days.

I'd take eichel and his size over both an undersized Johnson and non 100% kessel.

 

[General Zodd]

that was offside

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Keeping them in it right now.

I recall there being some debate on the U.S thread about him being the starter.

Not from me. Schneider and Bishop will get their chance.

 

[jj cale]

Was this being debated by those who are unfamiliar with Quick?

I assumed they were familiar with him........but they seemed to think Quicks best days were behind him.

Vlasic is Canada's 2nd best LD behind Keith. Not a chance he wasn't gonna be on the team.

I suspect guys like Subban and Letang didn't make it because Canada is stacked on the right side, they already have Burns and they didn't need another offensive D with all the firepower up front.
