I have a bad feeling we're gonna see JJ and Orpik and we'll be on our roofs.

Finish the game already.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Boo, Detroit tied it up. Now we wait...

 

[KittysGotClaws]

Hoping this doesn't go to OT. I want the announcement!

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Might have to wait for the team announcement if the winter classic goes to overtime.

 

[wickedwitch]

I have a bad feeling we're gonna see JJ and Orpik and we'll be on our roofs.

I'm preparing for both and no Ryan.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Is there even any Kings fans that think Brown deserves a spot?

 

[wheelz87]

Please god no orpik.

 

[nwaZ*]

Abdelkader playing his way on to the team?

 

[SI90]

I like the roster that one poster posted...


IMHO I would take big Buff ahead of Orpik....

But you just know Orpick is going to be on the team...If he isn't then I will gain a ton of respect for Bylsma

Bylsma isn't picking the team....

 

[Novacain]

Reguarding the idea that we need 4th line style players and that's why Callahan got in, my counter argument is simple: TJ Oshie can play the exact same game, is having a good year, has been playing on the same line with the obvious pick for 4th line C for seemingly 3 years, and his game is much more suited for large ice.

And Callahan and Brown making it, with the knowledge that Wheeler is probably in, means Oshie is most likely not.

 

[Carlzner]

Of course this game could go into OT, prolonging what we've been waiting for for so long.

 

[CodeE]

Buff and Ryan both better be on the squad...

 

[SidGenoMario]

lol at the abdelkader comment

 

[Machinehead]

If they don't take Ryan, Poile should be banned from the sport and the country.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I'm preparing for the worst.

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

If they don't take Ryan, Poile should be banned from the sport and the country.

Agreed

 

[SI90]

Bylsma isn't picking the team....

yeahh but as the HC he has as much input as anyone imo, wouldn't you think?

 

[Super Cake]

If they don't take Ryan, Poile should be banned from the sport and the country.

If ryan does not make it, i wonder what ryan is going to think?

If i was ryan, i would be ****ing furious.

 

[SI90]

If they don't take Ryan, Poile should be banned from the sport and the country.

this....

I really cant see Ryan being left off....

We have so many talented players that even if I disagree with some of the picks I don't think they can "screw it up". We will have a good team.

What I'm going to laugh at is when people don't realize they can only select 22 skaters and for people to flip out that their team's player didn't make the cut and how it's an outrage.

I agree. Unless they take Jack Johnson. That's an outrage.
