I enjoy giving you a hard time about Corvo as you did with me in regards to Martin. I knew that comment would drag you back to the thread.
You've been a stranger here for awhile so I threw out the bait and you came back immediately!
I'm sure this Corvo/Martin banter will continue long into the future.
I could take that as Baiting or Trolling...not sure which violation I will complain with....
didnt think I was missed, but I am always up for shooting the **** for anything US hockey. I am still on here fighting the good fight, and in the prospect section talking out my ass...but it is all in good fun...
Unfortunately my computer took a massive dump on me and went bye bye, and now I work a wonderful 13 hours a night, so my HF life has sadly gone down..which I am sure brings a tear to your eye...
but in all honesty I am still here with you guys continually laughing at every ignorant non US poster who wants to say their Z team will smoke our A team for every tourney...
I like what I see in certain areas for this team...especially on D, and our #1 line...Is there any US player that you can have more respect for then Jack Mother ****ing Johnson??? The only man to answer the call from the Olympic squad, and I am very thankful he has because he should be our Captain...
Scoring will be an issue, but if we can somehow manage to land two very solid forwards with our final picks; say Pavelski and Wheeler perhaps???? we might be able to score enough to fight for a gold..but Clemmenson would have to play lights out, and our d would have to stand on its head.
At this point with the U17, U18, and U20 Gold medals...and 2010 Olympic Silver medal, I am just hoping for a bronze to end what has been an amazing run of tourneys for this country.
Still keeping my fingers crossed that Kessel decides to join the fun, but if not, as long as the final two forward spots are filled with top 6 players, I think we can challenge just enough to medal again...
....and we still need more Corvo.....and yes Martin would be a Godsend on this team, but I guess being a UFA is much more important then representing your country....
as for Kreider, well I am just floored about his selection. what an honor for the young man, and if he can somehow produce at an above level pace, dare we say he might turn pro next year? Kid already has NHL size, speed, and shot....it really isn't that far fetched...
go get em boys..
