LemonDrop_27 said:Rumor has it that A.J. Thelan is out and Alex Goligoski, 85' defensemen from the University of Minnesota is in. Also, looks like the US will be taking at least one 87', Phil Kessel will be on the team.
cagney said:I wouldn't be surprised if Thelen is left off. He's really had just a miserable start to the season from what I've seen. Hopefully he can regain his form from last season.
I would be really happy to see Goligoski on the roster. I get to see the Gophers a lot and he's been my favorite player on the team.
I always felt that Kessel would be there. I expect to see Johnson there as well.
Yeah, I noticed that. Pretty interesting. It says Schremp will be named, Bourque is likely, and Brian Lee may be named at the expense of Thelen, Johnson, or Lashoff.flamesfan01800 said:
I hope USA Hockey doesn't take Johnson, because that makes it better for Canada! If He didn't make it, it would surely be unbelieveabl, or should I say political. USA Hockey certainly doesn't show any loyalty other than to themselves. Canada will win and win big against the US, you read it here.Seachd said:Yeah, I noticed that. Pretty interesting.

Lee is a player I've heard very good things about and I know USA Hockey likes him a lot but I had no idea they would think of including him on the WJC roster. If they think he's good enough to bump others who are considered first round quality players he must really be something. Too bad he's only playing high school hockey this year (save three USHL games he's played this year). Including a player whose never really come close to playing at the level they would be putting him at is quite risky.
Kirk- NEHJ said:My guess is that Cory Schneider will be Al Montoya's backup.
If he pretty much wasn't a lock before, Mike Brown's recent problems in Saginaw took care of any chance, albeit small that he had.
Don't know much about Chris Holt, so maybe he gets in.
Rabid Ranger said:It will come down to whether the U.S. brass wants to take a guy who will be an understudy with a look to next year (Schneider) or an experienced goaltender in place in case Montoya falters (Brown).
Kirk- NEHJ said:Given Brown's personality issues in recent weeks, I'd say it will come down to Schneider and Holt.
Brown has the talent, but whoah- what a meltdown if the reports are true.
