Team Snub Canada/U.S.

Just threw this together - quick mock all-snub team. Might have missed some guys, if I missed your favourite it's because I hate your team.

Hall-Johansen-Perry
Kessel-Spezza-Stone
Couture-O'Reilly-Simmonds
Neal-Brassard-Galchenyuk
Little/Hoffman

Letang-Subban
Brodie-Faulk
Seabrook-Giordano

What do you think? Medal threat?

McDonagh made USA, but yeah.

 

[DJJones]

Don't like mixing the two. Kids with no experience is one thing. Veterans are different

Missed that, thanks

it's 90% Canadian anyway.

How did a top 3 LW in the NHL not make team Canada? They're are 4 LW on team Canada

I dunno, how did a top 5 defenceman in the NHL in PK Subban not make Team Canada?

Right, because questionable decisions were made. Canada took 11 centres.

need that centre depth in case someone goes down.

 

[slobbergob]

need that centre depth in case someone goes down.

Or you know most centres can play wing but not all winger can play centres. I'm sure faceoffs and 2 way play was a factor as well.

Or maybe they just liked the centres they picked better than the wingers they left off.

 

[Urbanskog]

Why didn't anyone tell Bettman to add a ninth team, the North American leftovers?

 

[RememberTheName]

Both Andy Greene and Kyle Palmieri got snubbed. I would probably put Greene ahead of Yandle and Palmieri maybe somewhere in that lineup

Subbans not a top 5. Crazy to think they valued centres that much more.

Canada overloads on centers every time. I think there was one winger last olympics

Kunitz, Nash, Benn, Perry, Sharp, and Marleau are all wingers.

 

[Skiffer55]

Kunitz, Nash, Benn, Perry, Sharp, and Marleau are all wingers.

Benn, Sharp and Marleau spent decent chunks of their careers as centers

Switch Spezza for Tyler Johnson and make Luongo the starting goalie. Suddenly this is a top 3 team in the tournament imo.

I think so too. I'm a little bit in love with that third line.

Tier 1. Keith, Doughty, Karlsson
Tier 2. Weber, Subban
Tier 3. Josi, Hedman, OEL, Burns, Letang, Brodie, Vlasic, Suter, Pietrangelo
Tier 4. Muzzin, Seabrook, Byfuglien, Giordano, Faulk, Carlson, McDonagh, Shattenkirk

Off the top of my head. Subban is top 4/5.

 

[madinsomniac]

Kessel was left off the US world cup roster... that's kind of funny... Torts does hate the Pens something fierce

Subban would be in tier 4 or even tier 5. He is a product of Price.

Hahahahhahahahhahahaha

Muzzin I see as around tier 3 but I think he's just slightly below
