The Tkachuks are here to storm your castle and burn down your village

I feel like caps may have asked not to have any players picked. Pure speculation. There is a lot of shit that happens behind closed doors. Glad we have our guys off. Might happen again next year. Then we give them all our talent for international play.

 

[um]

Picking Noah Hanifin over John Carlson was….a decision.

Hanifin is a LD. Faber is the guy picked over Carlson.

Sanderson was the Hughes replacement, who knows if Carlson was available.

USA: 2 Tkachuks. Everyone else: 0 Tkachuks.

USA came to play…

If you insist on having a left shot and right shot, sure. I don’t see it that way.

I’d be shocked if Carlson said he wouldn’t play if asked.

I want to see Leonard on a USA team with both Tkachuk brothers. Holy hell, the chaos.

Who is the GM picking the team again?

*Checks notes* Oh, what a coincidence, it just happens to be the GM of the Minnesota Wild, where Brock Faber plays.

I actually like Faber, what a steal that trade was for the Wild. But offensively he's having a really poor year, whereas Carlson has no doubt been a top-10 D this season and can play in every situation so in terms of who is the deserving player, there's no real doubt who should have been there. But from Caps fan perspective it's great that JC isn't there, Caps rode him to the ground and some more last season and this season they've actually managed to keep his minutes down. US should have great chance to win this even with Faber in over Carlson and it's brilliant that Caps are going to be able to bring out a rested team after the break for the final stretch of the season.

Are we still doubting this?

Thoroughly enjoyable viewing.

I thoroughly do not like. I tried watching five minutes and its just the nature of a made up tourney in the middle of February seems just meaningless.

When someone on team USA picks up a season ending injury you will be glad Carlsons not there.

Sounds like a personal problem.

Last night was more lopsided, but the intensity is there. Sat night will be good.

I'll watch the opening ceremony tomorrow to hear the canadiens boo or boo-urns the national anthem. Then it's back to sleep.

It seems less made up than the NHL. The players are actually from their team’s location.

It needed team North America.
