Olympics: Olympics 2018 rosters (without NHL players)

[NyQuil]

Yikes.

We'll be lucky to make it out of the round robin.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I think the U.S. (in particular) and Canada are in trouble here.

 

[Xokkeu]

Wow Canada is worse than I thought

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

Thats an ugly roster. No confidence if Canada can even win one game.

 

[Del Preston]

Ben Scrivens

 

[Rabid Ranger]

If I was the U.S. brass I would go all young players. Hope for another Miracle on Ice as there's no chance in hell foreign-based pros are going to get the job done.

It's not like it hasn't already for years been 100% clear that the NHL wouldn't participate in 2018 and 2022.
But now it's 110% clear. Team Canada's staff has been named. No Yzerman, Babcock etc. anymore, only people currently not employed by NHL clubs.

Like Brodeur?

 

[Bures Elbow]

Absolute travesty.

Mason Raymond? Are you freaking kidding me?

I hated him when he was on the Canucks, imagine him playing in the olympics for Canada?!?!

2018 has been clear for a long time. I would be surprised if they aren't back in 2022...

As for that Team Canada roster, congrats Russia

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Thats an ugly roster. No confidence if Canada can even win one game.

They're playing South Korea

 

[Tomas W]

Thats an ugly roster. No confidence if Canada can even win one game.

Remember that it wont be many big names in the other participating sides either...a few in Russia, thats about it...

 

[Yabob]

In fact a lot of those players are top players (even superstars in some cases) in the European leagues.

 

[I am not exposed]

Ben Scrivens

One of the better names on the list!

 

[nickp91]

This probably won't happen, but I would LOVE if USA Hockey sent the 2018 U20 WJC team to the Olympics

I think a cold chill passed through all of Canada when this list was released. The idea that this will be Canada's team makes me want to hide under my bed.

Kazakhstan will actually take us to OT.

 

[frapp10]

Shane doan. Jarome iginla, and mike fisher have been contacted. Where is Chris lee? On that list?

Burn in hell, Bettman.

 

[jj cale]

Canada can take pee wee house league players for all I care, tournaments bogus without NHL players anyway.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I wanna see Kapanen and Tolvanen in the Olympic team. Kapanen scores the GWG against Russia (never seen before)

 

[Xokkeu]

NBC will have a field day with ****** human interest pieces at least

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Those rosters would look way sexier with Iginla, Doan and Fisher.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Those rosters would look way sexier with Iginla, Doan and Fisher.

I'd laugh if HC management wasn't actually considering them. I can only hope that if they bring one aboard it'll be in a small role.

I know they have hence the "I'd laugh if HC wasn't actually considering them" part.

 

[Hanji]

Add Markov to Russia with him signing in the KHL. Geez, they'll have a stacked defense at this level. Markov, Voinov (a top 4 dman on any nhl team), the giant Tryamkin, Gavrikov, Belov, Nesterov,
